Banking on Annie

If you will be in the Attleboro tomorrow between 2 and 3pm, stop by the Goldmark Credit Union at 155 Pleasant Street to meet Little Orphan Annie.  Annie will be making a public appearance at Goldmark, where a fund has been set up for donations to help pay for the surgery Annie needs on her knees.  For more information, please read here.

More about Annie

Many of you watched the news clip about Little Orphan Annie yesterday.  She was left alone in the middle of the night on a busy street, her life was saved by a fast thinking police officer. Horribly matted, it took several hours under anesthesia to remove her coat  - underneath which was found black mold. Annie had a double ear infection so severe that her ear canals were swollen almost shut, her nails were growing into the pads of her feet and her fur was so matted she could hardly see and her mobility was compromised. It has been determined that she needs bi-lateral repair of luxating patellas which will need to be performed before she can be adopted.

 

Now in foster care, Annie has started her physical healing and has already began blossoming into a lovely dog. Estimated at about 2 years old she is friendly, affectionate and trusting despite what she may have been through. She craves attention and is a total lap dog. She has a long life ahead of her and the good stuff has only just begun for Little Annie!  

Please do two things to help Annie.  First, read more about her here.  Then, please donate for her care here.

Marcus the Magnificant!

Marcus has found his forever home!  A sweeter ending for a sweeter dog couldn't be possible. [caption id="attachment_491" align="alignnone" width="209" caption="Marcus"][/caption]

Poppy

[caption id="attachment_443" align="alignnone" width="290" caption="Poppy"][/caption] This is Poppy. She came to PRNE at 14 weeks with a badly injured leg. It was thought the leg would need to be amputated. A caring, talented surgeon saved Poppy's leg. She went on to a fabulous forever home where her family is devoted to maintaining her health. It was with great joy we saw her at the PRNE picnic!

Update on Marcus

UPDATE Oct. 7, 2009: Good news! Marcus was released from the vet hospital and is now in a safe and loving foster home. He was groomed under anesthesia - 5 lbs of matted hair was removed, he was neutered and all his tests came back giving him a clean bill of health. Marcus' age is estimated to be about 2 years old. He is blossoming in his foster home, letting his foster mom brush him and interact with him more and more each day. He is friendly with his foster siblings, playful and full of life. Once ready for adoption Marcus is going to make a great companion for someone willing to be patient and give him space as he learns to trust and feel secure.

More great summer info

Continuing our series on how to keep your pets safe and comfortable during the heat of summer, here's a Facebook post from the Human Society of the US on summer safety.

How many posts can we do on Sweetie?

Not enough!!!  When you're this cute and doing this well, who could get enough of you?  Here's Sweetie with his mouth healed and fresh from the "spa" (aka the groomers). [caption id="attachment_260" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="Sweetie"][/caption]

The news for Sweetie keeps getting better!

Sweetie had an oral exam and x-rays under anesthesia on April 20. He had one piece of bone fragment removed and two very small remaining holes closed. Once Sweetie recovers from this procedure he will be one step closer to finding his forever home.
