Transport needed from East Texas to Houston

Baskin needs a ride to Husky Haven rescue!

If anyone is willing to help with this transport from East Texas to Houston, please contact Pat or me.

Alternatively, if you are coming from East Texas to Dallas, let me know. Henderson is a tad south of I20 so people travelling to Shreveport to Dallas are also a possibility.

Pat from Husky Haven has saved thousands of huskies through the years. She is an absolute husky angel.

Thank you!

Baskin's story, from Pat:

"A couple was suppose to foster the dog for a month while he was recuporation from heartworm treatment. I usually do not use fosters so far away but because of my surgery and wanting to save him (I got him from the SPCA); I made an exception. After two weeks she emailed me they were being evicted from their house and had to be out by Sat. That was last week and we had three days to make arrangements but none could be made so fast. We called the Henderson Animal Control to see if they could help in any way and they offered to care for him for a week to give us time to make arrangements for him. So she dropped him off there with his paperwork. The HAC were very nice and said they would keep him in a quiet place since he was in heartworm treatment. I would just go up there and get him if I could but I just had back surgery and it is about a 7 hr trip. Too much for me right now. So if anyone knows anyone or has any suggestions please let me know. We will pay for the gas. Baskin is a Red and White Siberian Husky and weighs about 55 lbs. He should have a 500 crate with him. I will give more information to anyone that is willing to help.Thanks and you can crosspost to other rescues in Texas in case someone is making the trip this way."

Also available at Arlington...

Sitting at Arlington Animal Shelter with the clock ticking in just a few days are a beautiful young female Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever (my neighbor adopted a male that must have been at the same location as he was sunburned too) and a very happy white male husky with brown eyes.

If you aren't familiar with the retriever, she's quite a bit smaller than a golden or lab, but just as friendly and smart. The Husky/GSD is always smiling. He's definitely got some clown in him.

We need some adopters for this guy and gal. Give me a shout if you'd like more information, or contact Arlington Animals Services directly.

Please pass this em far and wide. Someone is going to really thank you for these fun loving dogs!

Thank you!

Meet Festus (aka Scott) from Denton

Festus, aka Scott, landed in the Denton shelter at the spry age of somewhere around 10. The shelter volunteer, Amy, and a sponsor took pity on him and took him to a vet for a full blood panel and check up. The vet said he had the worst ear infection he'd seen in a long time, and his ears are a work in progress right now. He is very hard of hearing probably. Festus has been started on thyroid medication., but otherwise his blood panel was normal. Amy is not at all set up for keeping another dog long term, and someone must step up for Festus ASAP before Amy is forced to return him to the shelter. After all, Festus is only out on loan. The sponsor really wants this dog saved, and is working diligently to find a forever home for this senior designer dog.

Amy reports Festus has really taken to a life indoors with treats, toys and love. He follows her around everywhere. Festus is a great candidate for a senior for seniors program, as he is pretty laid back. Can someone find a friend or neighbor for this fellow?

Amy and the sponsor do so much for rescue. Let's help them get the right result immediately.

Thanks.

Finally, a gal in Oklahoma would like to save a flat coat retriever named Crunch from Dal Animal Shelter any time before Sat afternoon.

With such a horrible summer for the animals, and fall not really giving us a break, I am sooooooo thankful that we still have rescues rescuing dogs. Let's support them!

Huskies in Need

Hello everyone. I hope your week is filled with plenty of tail wags and play bows.

In the last two weeks Adopt a Husky has pulled a couple of dogs in need of medical attention. In particular, I'd like to introduce you to Stella, a husky/mal mix about 3 years old. Stella was wooing her heart out to be rescued from the Arlington Animal Shelter. Despite a limp she was quite willing to jump up and say hello to any passer by. Adopt a Husky of Dallas knew she would require significant medical attention, but just couldn't leave her behind. Stella will undergo ACL surgery this week at the Mustang Surgery Center. Now we are happy to report that they were rescue friendly in charging only $1,800 for a surgery that they normally charge $3,500. However, that is a bit more than the Husky Bank is able to pay on its own. Of course, Ms. Stella also has heartworms.

I am also attaching a picture of Zara who was rescued out of Irving. Zara went to the vet this weekend and was diagnosed with pneumonia. This poor little gal who is less than 2 for sure also has heartworms.

To all my friends who receive our email blasts and who visit the Fur the Animals blog, you know we don't generally ask for money for our pack since we are such a small private rescue. However, today the wonderful pack at Adopt a Husky of Dallas (a 501c3) needs a donation infusion.

Many people think that $10 and $20 donations don't make a difference. While we encourage you to give whatever you can, please know that $10/person can end up covering her medical bill.

Please take a moment to send whatever you can to Adopt a Husky for these wonderful gals. At a time when the shelters are flooded with animals, we are doing all we can to find fosters and adopters. Please forward to your friends.

New Poll

Just for fun, we've put up a poll for the month of October. The question is: Do you dress up your pup for Halloween? The poll is located at the top of the left-hand side bar.

Just to come clean, my two Sibes will be dressing up as football players for Halloween. Our town is having a Trick-or-Treat festival at the town center for kids and pets. So my husband and I will be dressing up as football players too. I ordered us all football jerseys (no pads). Hubby and Steve will be Texas A&M football players and Kat and I will be Oklahoma State football players. I'll have to share pics when we get all dressed up!
