Newtie After Surgery

Newtie After Surgery

Newtie

Newtie - 3yrs. 9mos Black Lab/Greyhound, neutered, 65 lbs, was bailed out from San Diego Bonita shelter. Newtie needs surgery for ruptured cruciate ligament on back right knee.

He was dumped by second owner for "bad leg, excessive barking, nipping, bad on leash, high energy & possible separation anxiety." Owner did not want to pay for Newtie's surgery. He could walk for a short distance.

Newtie has a hard time standing, usually only on three legs. He has to lay down when eating as you can see in his picture.

We need funding for Newtie surgery! It's hard enough finding homes for "black dogs" in general. Finding a home for a black dog who has a serious injury will be even harder.

Since being with foster the past month, foster says he has none of these issues, except for barking which he only does when human or dog walks by front yard...very typical.  He's wonderful on leash as well and the biggest snug bug ever!  Foster believes previous two owners never paid him much attention.  Newtie gets along fabulously with foster's two lab mix rescues. 

Update #1. Newtie had surgery done on 2/3/2010. His foster mom said: " We got home around 6pm, my neighbor helped me get him out of the car then we put him straight into crate...he's been whining so much, in pain. I'm sure, but what he wants is for me to constantly be touching him....a lot of his whining I think is cuz he doesn't want to be in the crate. I gave him one pain killer and half an anti-inflammatory and one Ace Promozine. Vet said no walking other than letting him out to pee, for 30 days!"

Peter dog

Peter: He is about 7-8 years old lab/shepherd mix, 42 lbs, neutered, good with other big dogs, house-trained. Peter has some problems with arthritis on hind legs, and takes some supplement for that.

His homeless owner and Peter lived in an old vehicle for a few years. The homeless man died, and left Peter behind with another homeless friend. Both of them showed up at our regular pet food distribution to homeless people. The new homeless owner agreed to let us taking Peter in exchange for some warm clothes and fast food vouchers. Peter is being fostered & can only be seen by appointment.

phil dog

Phil: He is about 9 years old lab/terrier mix, 48 lbs, neutered, good with some dogs, house-trained, NO kids, NO cats, likes to chase birds, butterflies, and rolls around on grass sun-bathing.

He has some challenge with his eyes, but his sense of smell is excellent. If there is a tiny morsel of food anywhere, he will find it. LOVES to eat.

Phil is being fostered & can only be seen by appointment.

Dog JULIE

Emo: 5-year old male chi/bichon mix 12 lbs, spayed, house-trained, gets along with other dogs, cats and kids.

Emo is deaf, but knows basic commands by hand signals. He can get lost easy, if you don't train him to follow a certain smell, or familiar odor in your home, which he can use to track down.

His elderly homeless owner died recently. Another homeless person in the neighborhood brought him to us.

Dog JULIE

Ethan: 4-year old male pit mix, 45 lbs, neutered, house-trained, knows basic commands, gets along with other submissive dogs, NO cats.

Ethan was living with his homeless owner with a small kid in a van for 16-month. We moved the homeless family to a small apartment in November 2009. Ethan was surrender to us to find a good home with yard to play outside, and a couch to sleep on inside.

Dog JULIE

King: 10-yr old male border collie mix 38 lbs, neutered, house-trained, gets along with other dogs, cats, rabbits, and kids. He can SING & has an excellent disposition like a king.

King must be on a raw food diet, and is treated by a hollistic vet, due to his major allergy challenge.

It costs about $200/month for King's raw food, supplements and others. He is worth every bit of it too!
