OLIVER

Size: Standard
Age: 13 Years
Gender: Male

Oliver may be 13, but he doesn't think of himself as old--he prefers to think of himself as "experienced." You see, Oliver is very adaptable. He knows how to behave in almost every situation. He loves people of all ages and bonds quickly with the humans in his life. Oliver also welcomes the companionship of other dogs. There is no more wonderful sight than Oliver bounding up to his person when he or she arrives home. All the puppy in him comes out!

Due to weakness in his hind end, Oliver has a bit of a problem with stairs. This has improved with the use of anti-inflammatory medication. Oliver loves to play and to go for walks. He has quite a sense of humor and joy in his spirit. He's engaged and interested in what his humans are doing and he loves to hang around them while they go about their day.

Oliver is a perfect gentleman with a lot of love to give. He'd like to share that love in his golden years with someone who will enjoy his company as much as he'll enjoy theirs. Oliver is a special, lovable dog.

Currently, Oliver is being treated and monitored for some health problems. Also, he is going for physical therapy to help strengthen his hind end. We are optimistic that he will return to the "Rescue Me" page shortly in fine health. His treatment is costly and Oliver would love for you to be his angel.

EVY

Size: mini
Age: 14
Gender: Female


Evy arrived at PRNE in terrible condition. Her hair was filthy and matted with clumps of hair missing on her back, where it had been torn out by another dog. She was not spayed and sadly, was diagnosed with mammary cancer. Evy also suffers from "dry eye" for which she is treated twice a day. Evy had two surgeries for the mammary cancer and we were hopeful there would not be a reoccurrence. Recently, Evy once again developed a mass and underwent a third surgery. She now has also been diagnosed with a heart murmur.

Despite all this, Evy is a beautiful, brave, lively girl. She is devoted to her foster mother and loves people. Thankfully, PRNE has been able to provide the care Evy needs.

Please become Evy's Angel so we can continue to care for this lovely girl.

ABBY

Abby needed surgery to remove 2 eyelid growths which were irritating her eye. One was under the lid and getting larger and the other was on the rim of her upper lid. The surgery was a success but creative, determined Abby figured out how to rub her eye, even with the huge e-collar on, so she needed to be resutured. Let's hope that was the last time!

Abby is a 12 year old standard poodle who is permanent foster dog. Will you consider helping with the cost of her surgery? We can never predict these things and when they need to be done, it puts a strain on our finances. The total cost of Abby's surgery, medications and bloodwork was $800.00.

Will you be Abby's Angel?

A TRUE RESCUE STORY


On March 6, PRNE removed eight dogs from a horrific hoarding situation. These poor dogs were unsocialized, severely matted (to the point where we couldn't tell whether they were male or female!) and suffered from urine burns. We can't describe the shocking conditions these dogs lived in but one of the volunteers who helped pick up the dogs said her lungs were burning that evening from the stench - not only in the house but that which remained on the dogs.

We have no idea what will unfold during the days ahead. These dogs have no paperwork and have most likely never seen a vet. Fortunately, they're all young - we're estimating under two years old and many are probably mixes - either Bichon/Poodle or Jack Russell/Poodle - but we'll know more after they've been groomed and had vet visits. They all need to be neutered or spayed and will require dentals and complete exams with all vaccines and blood work-ups - at the very least.

This is a TRUE rescue. All the dogs were scheduled to be euthanized on the following Tuesday. If it weren't for PRNE and another rescue, these beautiful souls would have had a tragic ending. We need financial help so that we can provide all that's necessary to get these dogs ready for their new homes. Please help us by making a tax-deductible donation either through our Angel Program (please indicate that you would like to be an angel to the "March Rescue Dogs") or by mailing a check to: P.O. Box 441447, Somerville, MA 02144-0012.

We are so grateful to our volunteers who helped in this mission and to those who are fostering these dogs. It's a long road ahead for these sweet little beings and we're going to be with them for the the long haul. Won't you help us to help them?

 

PRNE Volunteers have had a busy week bathing, grooming and getting to know our 8 new rescue dogs!
