      7/6/24 offered Betsy.

      From Jill: Hi! I love the name Betsy Ross. Poor girl needs some stability and love.

      The timing for me isn’t good right now.. I’ve got a young cat I took in and he’s having some medical issues. Expensive vet bills and and some fecal incontinence… ever try to put a diaper on a cat?

      I’ve got my hands full right now. Also.. our older boy ADT Griffin isn’t doing great. He has had trouble in the stairs a few times recently. I don’t think he’s long for this world. Ideally we would want our next ADT to be a youngerish male.

      I do appreciate y’all reaching out to me. Hopefully Betsy will thrive in a new forever home soon.

      ThankYou!!!

        7/6/24: Offered Betsy and declined.

        Pat,
        I’m so grateful you reached out to me.
        But the reason we didn’t take Amos was because our YorkiePoo is so elderly.
        There was a chance Amos might have bothered her.
        And perhaps Betsy would leave her alone, but my husband is adamant that it would be cruel to bring another dog into our home before Bonnie passes.
        And in the meantime Bonnie has perked up some. My friend who just lost her elderly small mix thinks Bonnie might be around for another 6 to 8 mos.
        I certainly hope not as her quality of life is so diminished. But I did promise Bill that we would let her live her last days blissfully napping without a new dog in the house.
        I will contact you when she passes.
        Ollie was so upset when we lost our cat that I know he will be grateful for a new companion then. I’m sorry that we have to pass on this beautiful young female.
        Regards,
        Bretynn

                    6/27/24: Spoke with Nicole about MaryLouise fostering Luke. This sounds like an ideal situation for Luke. Stephen Hammel, Luke’s owner, feels good about this.

                    Nicole & MaryLouise will make sure Luke is comfortable and has what he needs.

                    All veterinary and medications will be covered by ARG/NAR.

                        Application for Rescue Airedale

                        Hello Nancy,

                        Because our dogs’ continued health and safety are of utmost importance to Airedale Rescue Group, we require our adopters to have a continuous history of heartworm prevention. While there is evidence of HW testing and the results were negative, there is no evidence of the purchase of HW preventative. Therefore, we are declining your application to adopt an Airedale from our organization.

                        ARG requires a track record of heartworm prevention because heartworm is a very painful death and treatment is also extremely hard on the dog. In seven to nine months, heartworms can move into the heart and if you’re only testing for heartworm annually, there is a chance of the dog dying from the parasite before it has
                        even been identified in the dog. Signs of heartworm disease may include a mild persistent cough, reluctance to exercise, fatigue after moderate activity, decreased appetite, and weight loss; symptoms that can also indicate other issues causing the potential for heartworm to be dismissed. As heartworm disease progresses, pets may
                        develop heart failure and the appearance of a swollen belly due to excess fluid in the abdomen. Dogs with large numbers of heartworms can develop sudden blockages of blood flow within the heart leading to a life-threatening form of cardiovascular collapse. This is called caval syndrome and is marked by a sudden onset of labored breathing, pale gums, and dark bloody or coffee-colored urine. Without prompt surgical removal of the heartworm blockage, few dogs survive.

                        In the U.S., heartworm affects 1 in 100 dogs annually, so it is not rare. The treatment costs is well over $1,000 per dog and not all dogs survive heartworm treatment.

                        Assuming heartworms are identified in time, your dog will need several months of an injectable treatment called melarsomine. This drug has to be given slowly and carefully because if you kill off the worms too quickly it can be dangerous for your dog. Unlike intestinal parasites that are eliminated via bowel movements, heartworms that die slowly decay in the lungs and a dog’s activity must be severely restricted because overtaxing their lungs can be dangerous during treatment. Additionally, while humans don’t usually get heartworms, most preventive heartworm medications also protect against intestinal parasites like hookworms and roundworms, which are contagious to humans, so protecting your dog from heartworms also protects you from other parasites.

                        Please consider visiting the American Heartworm Society website (www.heartwormsociety.org) for more information about heartworms and
                        the importance of taking preventative measures against infection.

                              hi Meredith – Thanks for letting us know you need to relinquish Dorothy. I wanted to ask – have you let Misfit Mountain know about this? Does the foster mom know? Did MisFit Rescue have any contractual criteria that requires you to let them know about re-homing Dorothy?

                              It sounds like Dorothy needs to be only dog. She is an escape artist. Do you walk her on a leash? Also – the bites that have occurred sound circumstantial. Can you give more details about those incidents?
