Hey Angie, anything you can send, whenever you can send it is so very much appreciated. Thank you! You are a friend to the animals!

Angie (Ft Wayne) works so hard at her rescue. Mike and I are helping as much as we can with breaks on food and we have a donation tub for her on the counter, which usually gets her a bag or 2 of food every month. Mike also got her a special deal through Canidae where instead of having to buy 12 bags to get a bag free, she only has to buy 6 bags. She also comes to the store once a month for an adoption event and they have been fairly successful considering how new this all is. Oh, and she bought little Valentino a heated bed to help keep him comfy during his healing process.

Hey, anyone in the OH/IN/MI area that might be willing to foster for her, please let her or me know too! The more fosters she has, the more dogs she can save. At this time, it is only her and one other person doing all of the fostering.

Any news on the dog, though?
Was IMOM contacted?

He is at home now. They plated the hips and one hip had the ball joint shaved off, so all that is holding everything together is muscle. They are encouraging the little man to walk as much as possible because they need him to build the muscle up. He appears, by all accounts, to be obliging quite nicely. Angie called me laughing yesterday because she said he looked more like a Chinese Crested than a Westie because of the way they shaved him!! I guess a trip to Trinity is in order!! Trinity is the most amazing groomer ever and she gives HUGE breaks to rescues.

As far as IMOM, I don't think they'll help now that the surgery has been paid for. I think they would just say that if the Westie group paid for it then it is a done deal.
