Reno Angels in Rescue

04/30/2015

I"m waiting on a new picture of Jake. I have not forgotten this page, I just can't get here. But I have a few friends who have offered to help me work this page. I want to post all dogs in the N. Nevada Animal Shelters.................that's the plan.

Jake was found in Silver Springs NV where he had been left in a chicken coup for over 2 years, to fend for himself. There is a nice lady who came and fed him daily, but other than her, he had nobody. His owner died two years ago and had made arrangements with his son to take care of Jake when he passed away. The son did not honor his father's wishes and so Jake became the forgotten Cattle dog........in fact, I am now hearing that Jake has been in that chicken coup for around 4 years.........why? He was sick. Very sick............I would guess that the owner didn't have money to take Jake to a vet.............nobody did so how did he live for so long in that dirty, stinky chicken coup? He lived because of his strong will to survive. And now, Jake is safe in Minden NV. He has two rescue humans who saw his story on my face book page and wanted to meet him. I knew in my heart that Terrie would see what we saw and take him home. However it was Terrie's husband who instantly told his wife he loved Jake already...........so now, Terrie will be posting a fundraiser for the rescue Jake is under, ABC Rescue in Minden. Jake has a very serious medical condition called K9 Megaesophagus.
His esophagus muscles doesn't work very well so food doesn't always get to his stomach. He throws up his food so he suffers from malnutrition and dehydration. He is subject to pneumonia and he is on his second round of antibiotics now for this..............he has a long road ahead of him and will need a special chair called a Bailey's Chair. This chair looks like a doggy high chair, but it is necessary to keep him upright when he eats and to remain upright for at least 20 minutes after eating. This helps to make sure his food stays in his tummy. He gets pneumonia when he throws up and aspirates food or liquid into his lungs..............so there are many things we need to help Terrie and her husband care for Jake. I'll post some links to Jake's very common medial condition............even though it is common, not many people know about this.

I"m looking for someone in Nevada to help me keep this page updated. I get so hung up on CA dogs, or dogs locally who I need to re-home, that I can't get over here...........and it is shameful to say the least!

I will try to keep the Fallon and Lyon County Animal Services dogs posted.................if anyone wants to help post or help run the page, I would love the help.

OK, I have decided to update my rescue page..give me a few days to clear out the older posts and then I will start posting the dogs at the shelter where I live, Silver Springs NV. The shelter is a small, rural shelter and is very rescue friendly. Here goes my attempt to start networking my own local dogs in need.....

Again, I must apologize, my rescue page needs some updating....visit my main page and you'll see why I can't get to this page! If people would just take a week and not dump animals at the shelters and keep them contained, but not on chains, all of us could have a week off and get caught up! Vote Yes!

This is Bing rescued out of the Moreno Valley Animal Shelter in CA in his final hours. He will be living with Kathy Givens with ABC Rescue of Northern Nevada. Bing is a Border Collie/Coyote Mix! Kathy and I both thought that was what he was mixed with before we even talked about it. He was terrified when pulled and calmed down some during transport to Minden, NV. Welcome to Nevada Bing. I know Kathy Givens will find you the perfect home. She is very good with placing dogs. One small note from Kathy, "When I took his leash after he arrived he was so scared but he walked besides me. After a few minutes he looked up at me and started to relax as if to say, oh, this is where I'm going. I think I'm going to like it here!" And then came that teeny tiny tail waggle! That's what we rescue people love to see, that tail waggle meaning, I'M HAPPY!

This is Diamond and she was pulled out of the Carson Shelter in CA. A wonderful woman named Christa went and adopted her because it was the 11th hour for this 14 year old blind cocker. Christa has sent Diamond to Reno NV to her hospice foster home to live out the rest of her years in comfort and with a very loving Foster Mommy named Mary! Welcome to Nevada Diamond!
