UPDATE: 7/2/2010

This little guy we rescued and is resting comfortably at a foster in Redondo Beach.  He is the sweetest little man! Loves people and loves to sleep under the covers!  He has NO teeth and has to eat wet food.  He is up for adoption and if anyone is interested in adopting him, please fill out a adoption application here: carson cats and dogs adoption contract  Email it back to me at: cklein@lifesapet.com   and I will get in touch with you.  Here is a video of him when he was at the shelter: Click Here

A1077784 ( Tiny Tim ) – MALE, TAN AND WHITE CHIHUAHUA – SMOOTH COATED.  Shelter: SOUTH L.A. Condition: INJURED Age: 6 MO
This animal has been at the shelter since 11/19/2009 and on this list since 11/26/2009 . SOUTH L.A.

He was born into this world just 6 mo ago. He was probably wiggly, and bouncy like all puppies. Timmy didnt get to enjoy that stage very long.

Thankfully, on 11/19 a good samaritan found him wandering in LA, beat up, limping badly – and brought him to the South LA shelter. The staff told me that while smaller wounds have healed, Timmy has a right femoral hip fracture. They note necrosis – it is a very old injury.

The shelter experience,  in and of itself is very hard on small dogs, but Tim has managed to win over staff and vets alike, even while in terrible pain. ( one of the vets personally extended his time, because she likes him so much )

Timmy’s surgery estimate was given as ” under 2,000.00 ” by the shelter vet. Tim is caught in a catch 22 – redlisted because of an untreated fracture, unaffordable for most people. So he lingers, day after day, in pain – hoping someone will carry him out of there.

I called various vets, and networked out to other rescue ladies I know – no vets could give an estimate without an xray. The shelter vets will not send an xray of an unadopted dog. Timmy’s last day is Wed. ( Dec.9th ) even with his extention.

Luckily, I was referred to Dr. Coghlan, and luckily the shelter vet would speak to the Dr. if she called. From the information given by the shelter vet to Dr. Coghlan, she arrived at an 800.00 surgery estimate.

If just a few more good samaritans could show up for this little man, and help bring down that price, and make him within the budget of a good family – maybe someone willing to let Timmy stay for alittle while and recover from his surgery ? He promises to not take up alot of room ( just in your heart ) Please help this lost little lamb, begin a new life – filled with love and stability .. pain free.

The Kris Kelly Foundation is willing to help this dog if we can gather some donations to help with the surgery. Someone mentioned $800.00 so if we can start working on getting money  for this guy, Kris Kelly can take him in and get him all fixed up and good as new. 

Donations can be made to Kris Kelly via Paypal at        www.thekriskellyfoundation.org  

Please help her rescue another life!!

THANK YOU!!!
