Alanna

February 21st, 2012
Alanna- Rescued dog from shelter by Angels Among Us Pet RescueThis precious, 1-year old Black Flat-Coated Retriever mix was found in a rural shelter, badly burned along the shoulder part of her back, continuing down her left side across her foreleg, down onto her left front paw. The pain she was enduring inside that dark, awful shelter must have been horrific,yet this precious, hurting girl was still wagging her tail, looking at us with eyes of love and desperation, begging for someone to help her find a way to ease that awful pain pulsing along and inside her body! With the help of donations and support, Angels was able to immediately get her to one of the top veterinary hospitals in our area, to be assessed by their emergency team of vet specialists.
The results? Alanna will need to “debrided”, which means they will have to remove dead, contaminated, damaged tissue from her poor body in order to improve her chances of healing BEFORE they can do surgery. Additionally, she will need, at minimum, several surgeries. The first one will replace the damaged tissue, then another to place a flap of skin over the burned areas down her body. And if that were not enough (this poor girl cannot catch a break) you see, she is also Heartworm Positive!
She obviously was never cared for, or taken proper care of before becoming an Angels Rescue baby!! This girl is suffering so much we MUST reach out and help her at all costs!! Alannais just the best girl, in spite of her dire medical emergency situation. She is loving and sweet and so thankful to all her medical team and earthly Angels trying so desperately to help save her,and give her that 2nd chance at having a healthy body, someone to love and care for her, and provide Alanna with a loving, safe home. But we must get her well first! Won’t YOU please dig deep for this sweet, precious girl who has known nothing but hurt, pain, sorrow and heartache at the hands of humans during her short lifetime? Please let her know she is not alone. Please give generously to cover her surgeries, daily changing of bandages, hospital stay and care. She is worth it!! Dig deep, share her story, and help us get this beautiful girl well!

Luvvy

February 17th, 2012
Luvvy is a young, 4-month old Lab mix puppy who was pulled from the Etowah ValleyHumane Society on Valentine’s Day, along with her brother.
When she came into the arms of Angels Rescue, we noticed immediately that she was much smaller than her brother. Luvvy was extremely skinny, with her bones protruding on her sides. Although coughing and so thin, she was so loving, wagging her tail in spite of her extreme condition, telling everyone around her that she was so grateful and happy to be rescued and still alive!
When we got her to our vets at Loving Hands Animal Hospital to be assessed, it was evident to our vets that Luvvy was malnourished and she had a severe case of pneumonia! How awful for such a small pup to be going through such a harsh fate at such a young age! She continues to have a horrible cough, is very sick, and as you can see from the photo, has a catheter inserted into her tiny body. Luvvy is receiving fluids daily and is receiving medical care. She will have to be in the hospital for several more days at least, and we’re hoping each day she will get stronger and will be able to survive and beat this awful pneumonia in her tiny, frail little body!The good news is our Luvvy is not only a lover, she is also a fighter! Inspite of her dire circumstances, she loves everyone and wags her tail to say, “Thank you for helping me!” She hasn’t even made it to her foster home yet, but has a strong support system within the Angels family! What she needs most right now is donations support to help pay for her hospital stay and much-needed care.
Angels Rescue needs YOUR support for this precious pup! Won’t you reach out today to give what you can to help this poor baby make it from the hospital to a waiting, loving foster home, then into the waiting, loving arms of her forever family?

Sybil

February 10th, 2012

Sybil- rescued dog, help us save this petHello, my name is Sybil! While I look beautiful and happy, I am actually very sick. Several months ago, I was found wandering the streets, starving and homeless in Dekalb County. They think I had been lost for a long time because I was so skinny. When I was finally picked up from Animal Control, AAU and their veterinarians learned that I had heartworms AND a liver shunt. A liver shunt is just another way of saying that blood is not flowing through my liver, and that’s really bad. Since I am only 2.5 years old, the doctors say that I can eventually live a healthy life, but only if I can get immediate surgery and medical care. Please help me live a long, healthy life! I love lounging on the couch at my foster mom’s house and snuggling in the warm sheets. Please donate and help me get well.

 

Captain

Captain- help rescue and save this pet from Angels Among Us Pet RescueHi! I’m Captain, a boxer puppy. I was found on the side of the road in the country left for dead after being hit by a car. I broke two legs and need pins and such to save my legs. The vets soon found out that I am deaf. They think I was standing in the road and couldn’t hear the car coming when I got hit.

Despite my pain and my horrible
misfortune, I’m the sweetest boy so happy to be alive.

When his rescuer picked his body off side of road, Captain just kept licking her. Please chipin to help Captain and/or share with your contacts. Please pray I can keep both my legs.

Share and spread the love for this special dog.

He will need a foster quiet enough for recovery and an adopter as well, but being deaf, he will need a very special home. He does well with dogs, cats and chickens believe it or not! He pretty much loves everyone and everything.

Popcorn - Help us rescue and adopt this pet All, Popcorn is just a lil ittty bitty kitty that we found in the freezing rain while looking for our lost foster dog. She started life all very rough. Now the lil baby ate a rubbery substance that totally obstructed her intestines. She had to have the vet perform emergency surgery on her or she would have died. The obstruction was too large to pass and it had already been in her for awhile. Please help our lil girl. She is in guarded condition right now.

God Bless,

Cindy

January 27th, 2012

Cindy ChipIn- Angels Among Us Pet Rescue and AdoptCindy is a 5 month old puppy that was brought into the Hall co Animal Shelter after getting into rat poison. She was bleeding from the nose, her gums were ghost white and she was very thin. She was on death’s door. The vet on site gave her two blood transfusions at her home from her own dog. She made the news in Hall County.

After she got her strength back, they noticed that Cindy’s leg started to bow. The shelter believed this would correct itself once she began receiving proper nutrition.

Angels Among Us rescued her the week of Christmas. After almost a month, it didn’t seem that her leg was any better so we took her to a specialist. Cindy has a joint deformity that requires surgery WHILE SHE IS STILL GROWING. Will this girl ever get a break? She loves everyone and doesn’t let her deformity stop her. She is the happiest puppy ever!

This procedure is her best shot at saving her elbow and allowing Cindy to live a normal life.

She is currently in an awesome foster home with 4 young kids and many other furry friends.

Please share Cindy’s story.
We need to operate ASAP. Bless you!

Gertie

January 26th, 2012
The story of Gertie.This story begins sadly but will have a happy ending, we hope. Gertie is a 3 year oldblack purebred Shih Tzu bred in rural GA. Gertie had a home until her mommadied. A rescuer promised the dyingowner that Gertie would be taken care of and placed in a loving home. Clearly,something went wrong. The last time she was seen by her owners, she looked likea healthy Shih Tzu, but in the hands of a neglectful rescuer, this is whathappened. Fact: Gertie came toAngels Among Us nearly bald, not even close to resembling the picture wereceived. She was covered in fleas; her skin was scaly and painful. Acombination of poor diet, flea infestation and depression has caused a rampantskin infection. She also presented with extreme dry eye, which also doesn’t feelgreat. It makes us sick tothink that for over a year, she has suffered greatly and had zero love. Pleasedonate for Gertie. AAU would like to thank Delia of Delia’s Dog House, and heremployees for caring for Gertie. Bathing her daily, giving her medicines,feeding her great grain free food, supplementing her diet with Nzymes (a greatproduct full of antioxidants) and changing her bedding daily due to her skinsloughing. Her dead skin is flaking off and hair slowly growing back. Gertie needs a diligent foster or adopter that will see the beautiful girl under thesad looking hairless canine. Please share and please chip in.

 

Charlie B

January 9th, 2012

Poor Charlie B!!! No good deed goes unpunished! So over the holidays, one of our fosters found this brindle puppy in a park running loose. They tried tirelessly to find the owners: no chip, no collar, and they took him in waiting to find owners. They couldn’t leave him out in the cold to get hit or shot at. He lives in rural Calhoun, GA. Gordon county, a county we save animals from. Well, yesterday he starting getting really sick. Realllllly sick. Parvo +!!! Imagine that! So we had to take in a new Angel unexpectedly. Our vets were an hour plus away so we had to take him to one up there. Prayers needed. We need help for sweet Charlie B. Please donate and share to help us save Charlie B!

He is only a baby and deserves to live!

Trip

January 4th, 2012

My name is Trip and I’m a 2 year old Great Pyrenees. My life thus far has been no bed of roses…. I was chained to a tree, for what seemed like forever, with no food or water. My belly ached for even just a small bite of food. Eventually I made my way off the chain, and began to wander. I staggered into an apartment complex, where a Good Samaritan made a call to animal control to pick me up. The animals control officers were shocked at my condition. Due to lack of water and nutrition my pelvis, spine, and ribs have lost all muscle mass and fat. I had a fractured front leg that I had to drag along the ground, and it was rubbed down to the bone. The nice men gave me a pat on the head and transported me to nearby New Ga Animal Hospital. The next day my left front leg was amputated. I woke up from surgery and found that my leg was missing and thus it no longer caused me terrible pain. I began to hope that, perhaps, this was the beginning of a better life. I’m still learning to walk with 3 legs, but what’s even scarier is learning to trust humans. I cannot make eye contact or eat out of hands just yet, but with support, love, time,and compassion I will grow to become the dog I want to be and all of the pain of my past will be a distant memory. I’ve come this far, and survived what I didn’t think I would. All I need now is to be sponsored to receive continued medical care, and emotional rehabilitation from my foster family. Will you please help me start my new life?

Pepper

December 28th, 2011

Pepper wandered up to a rural home in the summer. She was most likely dumped and looking for someone to take care of her. The family called Angels to see if we could help find her a home, so we did. Shortly after getting into foster we noticed she would whine everytime she tried to poop and it continually got worse. In fact it got to the point she would scream in pain every time and there was blood in the stool. We saw the vet a number of times and ran extensive blood work and even had to sedate her to perform better diagnostics. We determined it was Perianal Fistulias. We started her on the very expensive drugs used to treat it and seemed to be doing better. We have her on a boatload of pain medications and that is not taking away her pain so we must do exploratory surgery immediately. This is a specialist and very expensive but we can’t let her continue this path of extreme pain. We have to get it fixed and do it now. The surgery alone will be $1,200 and that does not include aftercare or medications. We are looking for $2,000 to cover her surgery and aftercare. She is young and so very sweet. The foster says she looks at you as if to ask you to help her.. Please help us do that.
