URGENT HELP NEEDED FOR FLOWER!!!
9/1/10 UPDATE:
The cardiologist has confirmed that Flower has severe Pulmonic Stenosis. Because surgical correction (called "Balloon Valvulopasty") of this defect requires fluoroscopy, the specialist has referred us to the veterinary department at Ohio State University for a consult with their doctors.
We will be contacting them ASAP to discuss the cost of surgery, Flower's prognosis, etc., and will post more updates after speaking with them...
8/17/10 UPDATE:
Flower will be seeing the cardiologist Friday, August 20th. We will post more updates after her consultation and testing...
THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYONE WHO DONATED AND MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO PROVIDE HER WITH SPECIALTY CARE!!!
Please help us help Flower!
Flower has been diagnosed with Pulmonic (Pulmonary) Stenosis, a heart defect that results in narrowing of one of the heart valves (the pulmonic valve).
The pulmonary artery carries blood from the right ventricle to the lungs. Because Pulmonic Stenosis causes narrowing of this vessel or its valves, normal blood flow is impeded. Without normal pressure, not enough blood can pass through the vein and enter the lungs. To compensate, the right side of the heart must pump harder. This enlarges its muscles and size. The right side of the heart becomes overworked and prone to failure.

Despite everything, Flower is a happy, loving and sweet girl who deserves a chance at a wonderful life!

In Loving Memory of Walt
6/1997 - 5/6/2010
Please consider donating to "Walt's Fund," a foundation created in his memory to help other rescued animals like him - senior and special needs dogs who, because of their age and/or medical problems, require extensive veterinary care, etc.
Due to the cost associated with providing for these animals, many rescue groups cannot afford their care, and many are euthanized. Walt brought us so much joy and happiness, and he was so grateful for each and every day, that we want to give back in his honor.
These dogs deserve to be saved too... they have so much left to give
and so much they can teach us.
Please contact Andrea at aniel928@aol.com for information on
how you can help these wonderful animals.
This beautiful girl is HONEY!
Honey is one of many dogs seized from a
hoarding situation in Trumbull County, OH.
There were over 100 dogs in the property,
all living in appalling conditions.
Please click here for more information.
Honey is a sweet, scared girl who has never known human kindness. She spent her entire life in a kennel with little to no food, water, shelter or medical care. We're so grateful that she made it out alive, when so many others did not. She is making slow progress, but we are working hard to help her overcome the many years of trauma she endured. We're so grateful to have been able to save her, and to give her a "new leash on life."
Please consider giving Honey the safe
and loving forever home she truly deserves.

and to see more pictures!
GREAT NEWS!
We are excited to announce that we will now be
microchipping all of our dogs prior to adoption!
Microchipping is the only true permanent method of pet identification.
Microchipping offers the best chance of your pet returning to you after going missing.
Microchipping is a quick and painless procedure, similar to a vaccination.
Best of all, microchipping lasts for the lifetime of your pet!
