Little Boy Blue
We have a new Neapolitan Mastiff in our rescue program. He has a partner, Pebbles, that will always have to be with him because she sees for Little Blue. See Little Blue is just about blind. He has had many eye operations and has scarring on his corneas. We are trying to raise money to get Little Blue to a Doggie Ophthalmologist, but the problem is this cost so much money. Most dog specialists will not give a discount to rescue, so we have to pay full price for these visits. The first visit for our Little Blue will at least be $250.00, and that does not include anything but the visit.
Most people would ask my why would they bother trying to help out Little Blue. Little Blue is not even a year old yet, and he has a long life in front of him, so we want to do everything possible to help Little Blue.
I will tell you about the first time I met this special little boy and his wonderful girlfriend Pebbles. The owners were very nice people, but due to unforeseen circumstances they were no longer able to care for their two Neapolitan Mastiff's, so they contacted rescue. When I walked into their yard I see this little boy trying to decide if he should come up to love me or stay back. I gave him a few minutes and I had this wonderful dog attached to my hip, only wanting love. Miss Pebbles came up to me after she saw Little Blue getting loved and decided that she wanted some too.
When I saw Little Blue's face I was shocked! Another dog in the next yard over had bitten him and his mouth is swollen up like a balloon! He looked like his name should have been Bubba with the fat lip he had. Miss. Pebbles' face was also scratched up from the same dog. These two Neapolitan Mastiff's just would not fight back. All they did was take the bites and run back into their little shed and hide. Right then and there they had my heart tied in knots! I spent a long time with the two of them that afternoon, and by the time I got back into my car I was covered in mud, but so in-love.
Right now, Little Blue and Pebbles are at Sheree's house getting comfortable and used to their new surroundings. They are going to need some medical care before they are placed in a home. Little Blue needs to see the Ophthalmologist, have someone take a look at that bite on his mouth, and get a full work up at the vet. He also needs to be altered as does Pebbles, who also needs a full work up with the vet. Please remember that these two dogs CANNOT be separated. Pebbles is a year old and Little Blue is 11 months. If you can find it in your heart to help Little Blue out please send a donation with his name on it to Neapolitan Mastiff Rescue.
Ok that was a long story i know, but these dogs really need a home.(im trying to adopt) The only problem is that before they get a home blue has to get donations for his eyes. Please help! Post if you would like to help!
