 Your Help is needed!
The call came in from Baldwin Park Animal Shelter on Thursday May 8, 2008:
An owner just walked in two 5 month old puppies whom he requested euthanasia for -however our shelter vet has assessed them and think they are treatable, only rescue can bail them or we have to euthanize. The clock was ticking for these little souls.
Several problems arose in this situation, the first being that parvo although treatable is very costly and requires extensive vet care as well as the ability to isolate these puppies from all other bassets as parvo is airborne. Our wonderful vet was on vacation and was not available. Our HoeDown was scheduled for 2 days away, and there was no way we could bring these puppies to the ranch and put visiting hounds, rescue hounds and personal hounds at risk. BaRNI's board of directors voted to save these lives and work on fundraising after getting them to safety - and thats what we are doing!
Our volunteer Cherise ran over and got the "slinkies" and headed for the hand off to Carol who drive them on into the vet. The time clock was ticking and ticking fast.
By networking with our wonderful partner Life 4 Paws, we were able to secure vet care and isolation during the intitial treatment. The little boy Lance has tested negative now twice, and is currently in isolation but quickly recovering - he is one lucky little boy. Amy - is much sicker than Lance and is still in the hospital. She will require 30 days of isolation and many vet checkups after her hospital release.

Can you imagine five month old puppies just abandoned at a shelter rather than seeking vet care? A great injustice to these little angels who so want to be well and playing like puppies are supposed to. These photos were taken during the emergency transport and are not very good - however you can see how sick these babies are and how the hope for wellness glimmers in Lances eye.
With your help, these two angels will recover, find forever families and have a wonderful outlook on life.

The call came in the last week of March - a basset in a shelter in serious need of rescue.
For those who may be unfamiliar with shelter and rescue terms, this particular hound had been found as a stray and has in his young life, experienced many traumas. An owner never came forward, and thus this hound, due to his condition - and at one year of age, was only available to a qualified rescue group, and if none were willing to take him, he faced euthanasia.
Before you see his photo, we are warning you - this photo was taken AFTER extensive vet care, but is still very graphic.
A shaved head shows past scarring and trauma, most likely endured repeatedly throughout his life.
The ear has been shredded. I can personally attest that when our wonderful vet Dr. Kim saw him, he literally did not know what to say. Could this have been a companion dog who kept attacking a young pup? Perhaps - but the tears and the trauma indicate much more than that. We shall never know.
Your continued support allows us to work with these angels - this hound, as upsetting as this photo may be to see - has the sweetest disposition and loving nature - he is but a pup. A long course of vet care and eventually plastic surgery to trim and straighten the ear - during which time he will need loving support, good quality food and lots of fresh air, exercise and bellyrubs. Special baths and topical treatments including food supplements to assist in hair regrowth will turn this baby into a stunning young handome man - with lopsided ears. He WILL find a home. This would not be possible without our friends, family, vets, supporters and donators. Every dollar helps. Please help us help the hounds.
May I introduce Van Gogh -
