Help Us Help Bluey

Bluey, a Pibble Mix,  was pulled by Castaway Critters Pet Rescue from death row at a high kill shelter.  The ACO assured Castaways Bluey was good with other dogs.   Bluey went into a very experienced foster home where he was doing well with the other older dogs but then two pups were brought into the foster home and Bluey did not do so well with them. The puppies are fine but Bluey needs a little help.  Bluey was scheduled to go to our rescue friends in NJ but since he is somewhat dog aggressive his invitation has been put on hold.  Bluey's current fosters are not able to keep him past 3/31 and all of our other fosters have smaller dogs or puppies in their care so Bluey can not go to them. We are in a difficult spot but there is a small glimmer of help and hope.  A very good trainer near Castaways has offered to take Bluey into his program for the 6 weeks of training to help Bluey with his aggressions but there is the cost of the training and boarding at the trainer's.  It will cost $1200 to help Bluey and we just do not have the funds because of all the sick, HW+, senior dogs we have rescued recently.  We want to do what is best for Bluey and we feel the trainer is what is best to help Bluey have a great life as Bluey is a wonderful dog with humans of all sizes.

We know everyone is bombarded every day with requests for help and we hesitate to add our voices to the fray but we have to if we are going to help Bluey.  We need to raise the $1200 as soon as possible so Bluey can start his training.

Cat of the Month: Guppy

This is Guppy.  He was thrown away in a large trash bag, tied shut, and full of garbage.  He was rescued when a woman was putting her own garbage in a street side dumpster and saw the black bag moving.  She gave him a bath before she brought him to us because he was so filthy.  We have rarely met a sweeter, more loveable cat!  Guppy is a young male with really amber eyes, beautiful coloring and maybe a year old.  He is friendly, playful, affectionate and well mannered.  Purrfect for any home.  He is the sweetest boy!

Happy Tails: Taffy

We received an update on Taffy: Taffy and her new brother Elvis are doing great. He is getting bigger and he drives her crazy as you would expect a puppy to do. But she tolerates it and when she is done tolerating she growls or snaps and he rolls over on his back. I’ts so cute but then seconds later he is back pulling at her neck again! It will be funny to see how they are when he is 3 times her size! But for now she can push him around.

They tease Mary the goat by playing with her outside and then they run into the dog door and Mary can’t get through inside the home. It’s all just too funny. But Taffy plays with little Elvis like a dog should. She’s going back to being a dog and it’s so refreshing to see.  

 

Taffy is so pretty and she gets so excited when guests come over. She runs in a circle in the yard and wiggles herself in half like only pitties can do! She’s awesome!!!

We recently received a quick note and some pictures from one of our adopters.
