Kado Pet Foundation - http://helpforpets.org/wordpress/ All the Pet Supplies and Food received at the July B.A.A.C. Biker Rodeo was donated to the Kado Pet Foundation. The Kado Pet Foundation is a 501 (c) 3 tax-exempt charity that helps low-income people who are either seniors age 60 or above or people who are in permanent hardship situations, usually due to medical condition(s). They take over the lifetime care of the animal companions so that they can stay in their homes with their families! This includes, but is not limited to veterinary expenses, food, litter and assistance with care. We were honored to be able to help this noble cause. Skeeter and 2 Kittens –Yesterday’s Kittens A Monetary contribution was made to Yesterday’s Kittens’ veterinary office, Chester Veterinary Clinic, Chester, CT, for a neglected cat in need of medical attention as well as 2 kittens - who's mommas are feral - that have come from a colony in Plainville. They were hit hard by a virus and are at this point blind. The globes of their eyes have ruptured and are in the process of healing. Unfortunately, Skeeter did not make it through the surgery. Whoever the vet was who did the initial work was not very tactful. The vet doesn't know how the cat survived as long as it did. He's being cremated and will remain with Karen of Yesterday’s Kittens. Thank you Karen for all that you do for those unwanted cats! Clay – Nick of Time Rescue A monetary contribution was made to Nick of Time Rescue’s vet’s office, Wester Veterinary Clinic, Thomson, GA, for veterinary care from severe embedded collar. He was picked up by animal control from his home where his owner knew his collar was embedded in his neck and his only defense was to say he didn't know it was 'that bad.' His now former owner has been charged with animal cruelty and will have his day in court. Lucky (named by the animal control inmate that cared for him during his stay at Clayton – now named Clay) has been rescued and is safe and now just has to heal from his horrific wounds and go on to be adopted by a loving family. He will require several more trips to the vet for additional care. Any financial help would be greatly appreciated for this deserving boy as his vet bills continue. Thank you Lee for all that you do! Emeelu – ACHS Rescue A monetary donation was made to Emeelu’s veterinarian. She was rescued in the median of I-95 at Florence SC while traveling to Emerald Isle (thus her name) No one stopped to help even though she was panic stricken and on three legs, she finally laid down and allowed her rescuer to pick her up. She was in rough shape, needing hip and leg surgery and was heartworm positive. Chained Momma and 9 Puppies – Pity 4 Us Rescue A monetary contribution was made to assist with the veterinary care for spaying a mama dog and vetting her 9 beautiful puppies that she delivered on the end of a chain. People have worked hard to get the owner to surrender the dogs since being outdoors 24/7 in the heat was no place for a nursing mother and her babies all while chained. A dog house was finally provided to help keep them out of the extreme weather. After attempts of others trying to steal the pups and the fear that the parents would be next, the owner finally agreed to relinquish all the dogs into rescue where they will be altered, and treated for ticks, fleas and worms. Mom, Dad and pups are all safe at Pity 4 Us Rescue! 3 Emaciated Pit Bull Puppies 8 Weeks Old – Ruff Life Rescue A monetary contribution was made to Ruff Life Rescue to help aid in the extensive veterinary care for three (3) extremely emaciated, approx. 4 month old pups found in a box in a vacant lot. Their conditions were so bad that they were walking down on their ankles and unable to support themselves. They’re development has been compromised due to the lack of nutrition at such a vital age. Most of their health problems stem from being malnourished. Update and adoption pages for each of these very lucky pups!

Rusty –Sherrill Durbin, Individual Rescuer, of Tulsa, OK A monetary contribution was made to the McKinney Animal Hospital in Sand Springs, OK to aid in the recovery and neutering of a pit named Rusty. Rusty was found by his rescuer tied up on the side of Highway 117 near Sapulpa, OK. He was tied with rope around his hind legs, left to die in the 100 degree weather on Friday, Aug. 1st. He's very skinny and weak, but is on the road to recovery. Mercadey (Now named Cadey)–car strike victim – For the Love of Dogs Rescue, NH A monetary contribution was made to aid in the surgery of Mercadey. Apparently the owners decided to bring her in because she stopped eating, they knew her leg was swollen but ignored it. She was struck by a car 5 days prior to bringing her in. The family claimed that they had no money to bring her earlier so released her to the vet clinic who was going to put her down. Radiographs were taken and indicated that she had a radius/ulna fracture repairable with surgery. She was then released to a vet tech who just happened to have a rescue. Thanks Corey! Al the Boston Terrier, Birmingham, AL A monetary contribution was donated to aid in the care of a severely injured Boston Terrier. A severely injured Boston Terrier was dumped through a shoot at a shelter in Chilton County, Alabama, on 31 July 2008, and he was immediately rescued by Donna Farmer, President of the Birmingham Boston Terrier Rescue, and taken to the office of Dr. Julie Grimes, DVM, in Birmingham, where he is now receiving urgent medical care, including both pain management and infection prevention. He has sustained severe and painful wounds to his back and neck . We suspect that hot grease was poured on him, but cannot rule out the liklihood that we was used as training bait for fighting. His injuries are nothing short of horrible. Despite all that he has been through, his disposition remains very sweet. His recovery will be protracted and costly. We have named him Al. JOSH (formerly JAWS) - a Love Story! A monetary contribution was donated to help ongoing veterinary costs with this lovable guy! What a great story. Check out Josh's full story here. |
