Willie - Adopted

Name: Willie
Sex: Male (altered)
Breed: Cocker Spaniel
Age: 13 years
Location: Raymond, IL

Vet/Medical Info: Willie has not been to see a vet so we have been unable to verify his medical information.

Owner Info: Willie has been in his current home since the end of October. His current owner took him and another furry friend in when their previous owner was going to dump them. She is now over her limit and the city has told her she needs to get rid of two dogs by Friday 30 December. Willie hasn’t been to see a vet recently so is not UTD with vaccinations, or HW tested. Willie is blind from cataracts. Willie is a very sweet boy, he is neutered, good with other dogs, not quite housebroken. He is an indoor dog confined to one area of the house, he is leash trained. Willy will warm up to kids quicker than adults. If his owner has idea he is going to be able to go somewhere, she MAY be able to keep him until Sunday. She does not want to take him to shelter, says he'll be PTS.

Mallory - In Memory

Name: Mallory (Mallie)
Sex: Female (altered)
Breed: Blue Heeler/Australian Cattle Herder
Age: 3 years
Location: Baldwyn, MS

 

Vet/Medical Info: Vet has never administered any vaccinations to the dog. The dog received all vaccinations from the spca at the time of adoption. That was nearly 3 years ago. They also spayed the dog. She was never tested for heartworm. The rabies was for 3 years and will be due this coming spring. The owner told the vet he would pay for the needed vaccinations.

Owner Info: Mallory went blind only a couple of weeks ago, the vet suspects SARDS. All her blood work came back normal. "Mallie" is like a member of her owners family as they rescued her from a shelter about 2 years ago. However, living in the open country they are concerned for her safety and her ability to go between her outdoor sleeping and eating areas. Bringing her inside is not an option for the family in a small house (with a pug indoors already). Mallie is an outgoing girl, good with people and children of all ages and good with other dogs. She is not house broken but is leash trained. Her family loves her, they just do not have the facilities or means to take proper care of her and don't want anything to happen to her because they fell short of properly taking care of a blind dog. If Mallory finds rescue her owners will get her UTD on vaccinations and HW tested.

Wee Willie - Adopted

Name: Wee Willie
Sex: Male (altered)
Breed: Double Dapple Dachshund
Age: 1 ½ years
Location: Barnesville, PA

 

Vet/Medical Info: Wee Willie is up to date with all vaccinations. He is due for them again including a heartworm test 6/30/12. When tested he was negative for heartworm. He also had a vaccination for kennel cough. They had no record as to whether he was neutered, the records just said male.

Owner Info: Wee Willie's current owner first saw him on Petfinder Classified Ads, FREE to good home, he was still intact, and she thought NO WAY and offered to take him, they gladly gave him to her. She got him UTD on his shots, heartworm tested and neutered. He is in great health. The vet thinks he was born blind. He's a HANDSOME double dapple doxie, only 1-1/2 yrs old, and a sweetie pie. He likes to play with other dogs, but she is afraid bigger dogs will hurt him so would rather see him be with someone who has smaller dogs so he can play with them. He does love to play with other dogs. He's gotten where he likes to be held on your lap, took quite a bit of time, but he likes that now. Wee Willie is listed on her Petfinder site, but if another rescue takes him, she'll give him to them with his records. Wee Willie adjusts very well to new surroundings, he echo locates and can get around the house better than his owner! He is an outside dog in a fenced in yard, he’s not housebroken or leashtrained. He is good with people of all ages and other dogs. Wee Willie is one of the sweetest dogs his owner has come across, she'd like to keep him, but her other dogs don't understand when he bumps into them and she doesn't want any harm to come to him.
