URGENT! Can anyone help??? *Update* She's Safe!

[Kfamr]

Most of you know Areias, well we still communicate through another forum. Today she found this puppy on the side of the road:





The problem? She's moving out of state tomorrow. She cannot keep her, when she usually would be able to.

I would totally help if I had the money to. She has mange, fleas, an eye infection, and who knows what else. I just cannot afford to treat her and possibly anything she may give to my dogs.

Does anyone know anyone who can help?
I've been contacting rescues from Petfinder but most likely they will not be able to, they are usually full.


I'm so upset for this poor girl right now.

Oh no! That poor pup What a sweet and innocent face! I can not help since I am far away, but would be willing to contribute financially. You live in FL, right? I know a few places in GA. Let me see if I can get a hold of someone who may be able to help. Please PM details on location, etc...

[Kfamr]

Yeah, the pup is located in Riverview, Florida currently. Around 4 hours from the Georgia border.

[Ginger's Mom]

The only person I know in FL that could even remotely help lives three hours away, and I am pretty sure she would not drive up for this pup. They already have three dogs they are caring for (two of their own and a stray that lives on the grounds where Bob works). But if she would like to set up some sort of fund to assist in treatment I can offer a little something.

Me too.

A pup that skinny probably should be hospitalized and on IV fluids. Maybe a local vet could help find a placement for her.

[Catty1]

Can you get her to a vet first?

Poor baby!

I am not working right now (company is moving offices), and can't help financially. I wish I could!

[animal_rescue]

God I'd say I'd figure out a way to get her up here but I have a foster right now with mange as well. UGH Let me cross post and see if I can get help for her(Is that ok?).

[Kfamr]

Yes, please cross-post. +

Jessica's friend knows of a vet that may be willing to help her. They don't open until after 6, though. I'll let you all know as soon as I do.

[DoggiesAreTheBest]

No luck with any of my contacts in GA Sent out a few emails and will wait up to see if I hear back from them.

Perhaps gett her to the vet first to start treating her. A few people have offered to contribute. Please keep us posted.

OMG!!! Poor thing! I wish I could help! I really have no idea. Are there any no-kill shelters close by or maybe on the way to where she is going? Maybe her vet or another vet could tke her, treat her and find her a home? Definatly keep us updated on this sweet puppy!

[slleipnir]

Poor thing What a sin! I hope she gets help and finds a great home with someone who will love her to death like she deserves

[lizbud]

I would definately help money wise.I also agree that this pup needs vet
care ASAP. If a fund is set up, PLEASE let me know. The first step is to have
her seen by a Vet.

[Freedom]

To far to help physically; will help financially; please update as you can!

Poor innocent little baby girl!

Kay, thanks for the PM. The mange worries me, since we don't know what kind it is. If it is demodex I would not hesitate to foster her (although my parents would have to approve) but if it is sarcoptic there is just no way, I would worry about her spreading it to my dogs.

I will be watching here and at the other forum for an update. If the vet can't take her in I will send out an e-mail to the foster director at the humane society. I'm sure we are full but like I said, I MAY be able to foster her just so long as I don't have to take full responsibility for finances - I cannot afford what her vet bills will likely be. Also, because I'm in school and not home all day, my parents might just say no. So, no promises, but I would like to help if I can so please keep me in mind.

Here's the latest from Jessica:

She's going to a rescue! WHOOOO! I'm going right now to drop her off at their vet's office, right up the street from me, and they will start taking care of her.

She didn't want to die. She really opened up in the last few hours...I got home and she was all wags and happy. Whoo! I'm so excited she's getting a chance.

I'm going to try and find out the rescue for those of you who would like to donate.
