Poppers Needs Your Help

Another great save by Noah's Arks Rescue in Okatie, South Carolina.  This group rescues dogs out of shelters with extreme veterinary needs who would most certainly be put down. They get they dog treated, rehabilitate him or her, have it fostered, and then adopt the dog out.

This little guy has a condition I've never heard of, called Salivary Mucocele. Read the story; please make a contribution if you can. While the amount they are collecting seems high, I can tell you that surgical vet care is expensive, and I trust this group completely for what it's worth.

Thank You God, for Patrick's Recovery. Help Us To Remember The Other Dogs in Need.

A 1-year-old pit bull nicknamed Patrick sits Tuesday, April 5, 2011, near piles of gifts donated to him as he recovers at Garden State Veterinary Specialists in Tinton Falls, N.J., after being found starved and dumped in a trash chute. Kisha Curtis, 27, of Newark, pleaded not guilty to animal abuse charges. Authorities believe Curtis tied the dog to a railing in her Newark apartment building and left the state for more than a week. Letters and donations have poured in from the around the world in support of Patrick.

Remember, there are many other dogs who suffer Patrick's fate each day, and they don't end as well as his story, hard as that has been. Not taking away from the little guy, but please direct your generosity to some other dogs in need. Here are a few rescues who take in "Patricks" on a daily basis:

Sydney From South Carolina

I mentioned in a post about Patrick the other day that each day there are other dogs in his condition that haven't gotten as much press. I'm not complaining about his press or his attention - I've certainly been posting about him all week. I just want to bring other dogs to the fore.

One rescue that cares for dogs like Patrick is Noah's Ark Rescue. I've posted about them before but just got this story in the mail. Each week they take another Patrick in. Sad that there is always another dog that has suffered near-death just becaus humans cannot take proper care of their pets.

GREENWOOD, SC......Sydney is an adorable 9 month old pit mix that only weighs 19 lbs. Police were chasing a suspect in the Greenwood, SC area when he ran into a house. They ran into the same house and what they found behind a closed door was sweet, adorable SYDNEY. She was almost starved to death. She had no food or water. The conditions in the room were despicable. The floor was covered with feces and urine. This gentle little dog had been living in these conditions for quite some time. If the police had not happened to have been going after this individual, we would be telling you a different story. They immediately stopped their search to get Sydney out of her horrible situation and to the shelter in the area. She has been there while the criminal investigation has ben going on. The person was convicted of animal cruelty along with other charges and is in jail and should be there for a while. This adorable little dog has only gained two pounds since she was rescued. She is terribly underweight and will need lots of medical care to get her system back to normal. We are having to run extensive tests to make sure she does not have any other medical issues we might be missing. She has had an upper respiratory infection for some time that has her terribly sick right now. That is causing her to not eat very much because she feels so bad.

Abandoning animals without any means of taking care of themselves is becoming an epidemic in this country. Every day we see another case of animal cruelty where the animal was starved to death. Sydney was lucky. If you or anyone you know is having difficulty feeding an animal or taking care of them properly, please contact the shelter in your area and ask for HELP. Do not leave an animal to die a terrible death this way.

While Sydney is not quite as bad-looking physically, she will need a good deal of care to bring her to full recovery. Please do what you can to help.

Each and every gift is an affirmation of caring towards animals like this, so amount is really not as important as donating. Do what you can.

Thanks.

Enjoy seeing the little guy eat! And remember, Kisha Piece O'Trash Curtis is reporting to court today for a preliminary hearing. The Universe has spoken.



If you want to share in the fun, go too The Patrick Miracle on Facebook. They have over 50,000 fans already. Good even keeled people running the page, too.

Now, Patrick is being taken care of. He's getting food, vet care, and toys from all over the world. If you want to save another dog, all you have to do is go to your local shelter and donate or adopt, or donate to one of the many rescues that do the front line work. I have several listed in the side bar on the left.

Here are a few that rescue dogs like Patrick every day of the week.

Noah's Ark Rescue
Pet Rescue (in Westchester, NY)
Angels Among Us Pet Rescue



Okay, and another happy video, though you can still see how skinny Patrick is. It's a long haul to make up for severe neglect.
