Chelsea and Charla – This Old House 2

Dog days Graduates…

I’m sharing two awesome pics on FB of two Dog Days graduates… Actually, Charla (and sister Chelsea )were taken in by Lorin and Lillian of Dog Days, both pups suffering from neglect and demodex mange. They have their own label on the side bar there if you want to read more of their story.

Charla before and after….

She was adopted by Lillian, her foster mom (Lil is now one of us, a Foster Failure..lol) ….Here she is playing in the snow with another Dog Days Adoption Event graduate, Slider. I think Slider and Charla like the snow, don’t you?

Some of you contributed to their medical expenses and I want you to see

what your generosity accomplishes.

NOW.. inquiring minds want to know.

When you read a blog… what type of appearance is the most appealing to you?

If you read my blog often you know I’m always changing things up.

Maybe that’s annoying. A dark background might be hard to read.

A simpler look is easier on the eyes. The pics take too long to load?

Let me know what your opinions are in the comments section below.

And thank you again, from the dogs 🙂

They need a home for the holidays

Charla and Chelsea… the dogs rescued from a veterinary clinic

in Bridgeport where they were sick with mange and parvo

but not cared for, are now doing just great.

They will be looking for their forever home very soon.

Both girls are very friendly and get along really well with other dogs.

Call Lorin at (860)767-6840 if interested in adopting.

This boy, Bruno, was dumped at the Bridgeport Animal Shelter after living with his family

for 10 years!!! How anyone can do that is beyond my comprehension.

Five spots left, any takers???

Charla & Chelsea have left the building!

Last night I met Lorin and Lilian at the Durham Veterinary Hospital as they claimed Charla and Chelsea, who were well enough to go home and begin treatment and recovery with their foster moms. These two women are amazing.. the road to recovery is intensive round the clock treatment of their skin condition, but the Parvo has been tackled, and they are already eating and starting to put on weight. Chelsea almost lost her battle, but she got through the worst and survived. Both pups still have sores and raw, agitated skin… but they’ll be fine with the right care. Sadly, their littermate died at the hands of the initial vet that was in charge of their care. An article is in the news this morning… see link.

(thanks, Joey, for bringing this article to my attention)

A big thank you to those of you who are contributing to their care, (see widget on left). Every little bit counts, as it will cost about $5,000. to bring them back to full health. Once they are healthy, they will be available for adoption.

Let’s do it again…

This is the intake picture of Charla and Chelsea when they were dumped at the pound in Bridgeport CT a few weeks ago in a box. They are approximately six months old. Despite numerous pleas for a rescue to take them in, it didn’t happen.. and so they were sent to the contracted vet facility for “treatment”. As you can see, both had mild Demodex mange, a very treatable disorder, and neither were emaciated.

Unfortunately, under the care of the contracted vet by the city of Bridgeport, their condition deteriorated and

they contracted Parvo as well as worsening case of mange. Both are still in serious condition, and Chelsea is just starting to show signs that she will survive.

Charla isn’t as sick as her sister and is already perking up quite a bit…

Enter several rescuers including Lorin, who is our Dog Days Adoption Events Founder and Dog Savior Extraordinare. The pups have been transfered to a quality veterinary facility and will go home with Lorin for care once they are stable. Those of you who follow my Dog Days Posts know what we do. See labels on the sidebar for more information. CHIP.. was last year’s project. He has his own label on the left too… you would not believe the turnaround once Lorin took him in and we all chipped in to care and feed and medicate and love him. He is a happy healthy boy a year later, living with his new loving family. We’re hoping we can do the same for these two.

Last year we raised money for Chip’s medical expenses in several ways, but a big contributor was the widget you see on my side bar. If you would like to contribute to Chelsea and Charla’s medical expenses, please use the widget, it’s a paypal format and I had no trouble using it even though I don’t have a paypal account. Even $5. will help tremendously.

A brief recap of the story of CHIP

He was pulled from a kill shelter looking like this….
