Dachshund Rescue South Florida hasn't added a story.
As bad as things are here in South Florida for stray dogs, the situation is that much more dire in Puerto Rico. Over the years we have built relationships with dedicated rescuers who fight an insurmountable battle daily without a community like ours to back them. We do everything we can to bring as many dogs as we can to DRSF to help not just the dogs, but the rescuers as well, as we know how hard it is to fight that battle every day.
We recently welcomed 11 dogs from Puerto Rico that involved a late night pickup from our friends at American Airlines and tonight King, Casey, Janie, Lilac, Pebbles, Panda (he is the sweet boy with the crooked head), Nuko (who is 19 years old, blind and deaf), Dilbert, Kiwi, Jasper, and Presley are safely resting and being checked out at Dr. Bruce's Animal Hospital.
The good news is that all 11 are safe, and will never have to worry about food or shelter again, the challenging thing is that we have a big 'ole laundry list of medical issues to work with - Broken leg (from long ago and has already healed badly), untreated dry eye, ear/eye/skin infections, heartworm, eherlichia, HORRIBLE dental disease, cryptorchid (undescended testicles), a crooked head of unknown origin, masses, worms, and anemia.
It is a length process to drive to MIA, pick up the dogs, load them into the truck, drive back to Broward, unload them (attempting to minimize any further trauma), and get everyone settled. We can only continue to welcome these sweet souls who have nowhere to go thanks to your generosity and compassion. Will you help us continue to not just help these dogs, but their rescuers as well to keep going?
