As of Wednesday, February 24, 2010

Our Morton Vet Clinic Account Balance is:

$11,136.49

We still need a lot of help, and our March Straydog Newsletter
is still a couple of weeks away from being mailed to our list of contributors,
the majority of whom (for whatever reason) never see this website, and thus
receive communication from Straydog only via the U.S. mail.

 

Thanks so much to those who continue to contribute directly to our Straydog account at:

Our Mission

Straydog is a "lifeboat" (and sanctuary) for rescued dogs. A vacant spot in a kennel is an empty seat in our "lifeboat,"
so, if you're interested in adopting a dog, see our website "Dogs for Adoption" link, or call to inquire about dogs
you may have seen recent photos of but who may not yet be included in our "Dogs for Adoption" link. And
please continue to support us. We will continue to row this "lifeboat" to shore, dropping off rescued
dogs into the arms of good adopters, and we will continue to fill the space left vacant by each
adopted dog with another desperate homeless dog for as long as we are able to hold on
(financially). We believe that the example of our sacrifice (and the example of
the sacrifice made by the people running all other no-kill shelters) must be
publicized to wake people up and make them aware of the necessity to
SPAY and NEUTER their dogs (and cats) so that homeless dog
(and cat) rescue "lifeboats" will no longer be necessary.

"ALL stray dogs to lucky dogs ... NOW!"

The park is still intact, and all the trees are much bigger and taller now, as you can see in the newly donated aerial photo below.

Recent Surgeries

Tipper, Nancy and Terry-dog say, "Thank you!"

*We've received donations from several contributors earmarked for Terry-dog's TPLO surgery!

Terry-dog had her ACL knee surgery Tuesday, January 19, 2010 at
Mustang Veterinary Surgical Hospital in Pilot Point, Texas.

Terry's back home and is doing fine as she recovers in Hospital One.

*We've received donations from several contributors earmarked for Tipper's TPLO surgery!

Tipper's problem was NOT a torn ACL. She possibly had cancer in three of her toes,
and they were amputated on Thursday, January 14, 2010.

The lab results came back on Thursday, January 21, 2010, and there was no cancer. Tipper's
toes were just horribly infected, to the point that one toe bone had totally disintegrated.

A few days later the original surgeon is asking the lab to check
Tipper's amputated toes again to be doubly sure there's no cancer,
and again the results came back negative for cancer!

*We've received a single donation from a contributor earmarked for Nancy's hip surgery!

Nancy's hip surgery was done Tuesday, January 12, 2010 at Morton Clinic,
and she's recovering very well in our Hospital One.

 

A big thank you, thank you, thank you from Tipper, Nancy & Terry-dog!

 

Becky-dog has partial tears in the ACLs of both knees, but after spending many weeks now confined to a crate in Hospital One (except for her many daily outings to the park), Becky is not limping at all anymore and doesn't seem to be experiencing any pain, so we will hold off on her possible surgeries for now.
