Savannah Renee - Adopted

Name: Savannah Renee
Sex: Female (altered)
Breed: Cocker Spaniel
Age: 6 years
Location: Westville, IL

 

Vet/Medical Info: The vet Savannah Renee normally sees (Dr Wronke) has had a stroke so we are unable to get her latest medical records. The vet she saw prior to Dr Wronke was last seen in 2008, she was brought in for an abortion shot. All vaccinations and Heartworm tests were overdue. According to their records the dog was not spayed.

Owner Info: DOB 8/25/2005. Savannah Renee's owners have lost their home to foreclosure. They could not find a home to rent that would allow dogs. Savannah Renee can be a bit nervous at times but is good with people of all ages and male dogs. When they take her to get her groomed she does quite well. Unfortunately, ever since she has been blind she has a lot of potty accidents on the floor. Her owner thinks her eye condition may be genetic (she was bought from a pet store), she has only been blind the last 9-12 months. They haven't had the money to take her to the vet. Savannah has a real tough time in the heat, more than the other dogs they have. It takes her a while to stop panting when she comes in from the heat, so they are always sure to bring her in right after she has gone potty. Savannah is a very happy dog. The only place they have to take her at this time would be the pound, they are so worried if that happens they would end up putting her down. They have to be out of house by Monday 8/22/2011.

Uncer - Adopted

Name: Uncer
Sex: Male (not altered)
Breed: Cockapoo
Age: 10 years
Location: Carrollton, GA

 

Vet/Medical Info: Uncer tested negative for Heartworm, had his rabies shot good for one year, had bordetella, parvo, adeno and distemper all on 8/11/11. He is not neutered.

Owner Info: DOB 8/14/2001. Uncer is currently with a rescue in GA, he came to them sort of as an accident by someone who found him and was willing to make a donation. They have since found out he was abandoned by his owners. He is blind due to years of having untreated chronic dry eye, he is currently being treated with Optimmune but wasn’t treated or treated properly in the past by previous owners. Uncer will be vetted, advertised on their website and taken to adoption events. They don’t feel that they are able to give him exactly what he needs and thought we might be more specialized in helping him. He is scheduled to be neutered and have his filthy teeth cleaned in a week. He has many small growths on him, which will be assessed better during the surgery. Uncer has adapted well to his new surroundings, it has only taken him three days to figure out how to get himself from his dog bed to the back door where he goes out to potty. If we can take Uncer, they might be able to provide transport for part of the way. Also, any vet care as far as basic vaccinations, testing, neuter, dental would be paid for. Getting neutered 8/23/2011, owner will contact me after that date to confirm.
