Many times as a rescuer, you are at the shelter and by chance, you get the story of a dog who is turned in by his owner, or the details of where a dog was found and what his or her story is…However, most times they are nameless animals, with only an intake ID number, where we can only guess and speculate about their past.   

But meet Luke.

This one photo of him tells the story of a thousand words.  

The story of heartache, despair, abuse and neglect.

SKY - ID#A4091402

My name is Sky and I am described as a male, black and white Chihuahua – Smooth Coated mix

The shelter thinks I am about 6 months old.

I have been at the shelter since Feb 28, 2010

It looks like this little girl has demodex mange which is real EASY to treat!  Please someone rescue her before she is euthanized!

I don’t know if anyone remembers Little, a feral cat that I got when she was about 3 month’s old and socialized.  She was soon lost after an adoption event in West L.A. and I searched for her day and night for 2 1/2 months before I finally found her.  She has become extremely special to me and a long term foster over the past year.  Her picture is attached. 

A month ago, she developed a chronic ear infection to which I did several tests to figure out what was going on.  I finally spent $1000 to do a CT scan and x-rays and they found that she has a very big polyp growing in her ear canal that will just become bigger if not removed.  She has been walking around with her head tilted for the past few weeks.  She needs a complicated surgery called a Ventral Bulla Osteotomy which will remove the polyp and any fluid in her ears.

Foxy is doing very well since her surgery.  She plays and gets along with the other dogs and cats.  She is still having trouble with controlling her bladder so mistakes are common but will get better with time.  Since being pulled  from the shelter on the 5th of January, she has settled in quite nicely, sunning herself in front of the patio doors every afternoon.  This little dog was hours away from being euthanized at one of the highest kill shelters in Los Angeles.  You can read her bio here: http://lifesapet.com/2010/01/13/small-sweet-chihuahua-available-at-carson-ac-ida4072298/ 

Now we urgently need help with funding to help pay for her bladder surgery which has cost over $1700.00.  Could you please help us so we can continue to help more animals? Any amount is appreciated.  You can donate with a credit card here:
