His family is busy new parents & have decided to place Tony with another family. He’s moved from a house with a yard to a small apartment & definitely needs more exercise.   He is a very sweet-natured dog, 2-year-old Staffordshire Terrier-mix., 20-25 lbs. Very sweet needs lots of love & attention. Current on vaccinations & house trained. Tony is good with children & ok with other dogs but needs to be socialized around other dogs a bit more.   … Tony would love to be someone’s best friend.

1.  Lilly is very sweet & endearing. Possible Stafford Shire or Pit … mixed with Pointer.    She is probably under one year old.  She is a quiet dog.  She loves to run & is good on a leash.  She is crate trained.    She is good with dogs & cats but will chase if the cat runs.  She has been spayed & has a rabies shot, parvo/distemper & bordatella.  She was wormed.   I have Panacure for … she is on panacure now.  She was abandoned & very afraid when I found her but is a wonderful dog & is very companionable.  In the beginning she was afraid of children but is doing great now with everyone.

2.  Toby is very smart & energetic.  Possibly a Shepherd & Heeler-mix.  He is brown & black Brindle with white legs & markings on face.  Probably 6 months old.  He was neutered the day I found him & has shots for rabies, parvo & distemper & bordetella.  Is taking panacure now & has flea treatment.   He is very loyal, protective & will bark if he feels concerned.  He gets on well with dogs & cats but will chase if the cats run from him.  Very companionable & likes kids.  Would love a good obedience class or training.

This month’s veterinary bills are so overwhelming; we really need your help! Please consider donating any amount so that we can continue to save more “last call” dogs in need.

From Ccdsz1@aol.com  To all our friends & supporters:  January was an expensive month for us at Great Escape Rescued K9s , in terms of unexpected veterinary expenses. Because of this, we are asking for financial help to pay the overwhelming vet bills.  Donations of any amount would really help & be greatly appreciated. We rescued a total of 76 “last call” dogs (of which 46 were PB German Shepherds and 9 were seniors) in 2011.  Our rescue only has 3 members, Myself, Sondra Abarr & Sharon Mohr. Our funding comes directly from ourselves with the exception of some donations.   We have rescued 9 “last call” dogs so far this month (January 2012).       We are lucky enough to be involved with an awesome rescue dog-training program offered by Triple Crown Academy in Hutto, TX.    TCA has an accredited “dog trainer” school which trains people to be dog trainers.  It’s a 12-week program that covers all phases of dog training (obedience, agility, manners, assistance, search & rescue, etc…). TCA accepts a limited amount of “rescued” dogs into this program & assigns them to each student. The student then trains the dog as he/she goes through the course. It’s an incredible opportunity for the rescues. At the conclusion of the course, the rescues are either adopted out to their student trainer or to the general public. It’s a win, win situation for everyone involved. However, each dog that TCA accepts must be spayed/neutered, utd on all vaccinations, heart worm negative & must have 3 months’ worth of flea/tick & heartworm preventive provided when the dog is accepted. Any adoption fees are waived. This month we were lucky enough to have 14 dogs accepted! Providing 14 dogs w/3 months of flea/tick preventive &  heartworm preventive is very expensive, which is one of the reasons we need help!

The bill is a total of: $869

Itemized as follows:

8- Iverhart Max @ $9 each ($72)

2- Preventic Collars @ $11.00 each ($22)

31- Advantage Multi’s/88 @ $18 each ($558)

1-Bottle each of Zymox Shampoo and Zymox Rinse (for Iggy’s skin issues) @ $20 each ($40)

1-Bottle Malaseb Ear Flush (for Iggy’s ears) $15

30- Bacterium DS (antibiotic for Iggy’s  skin/ears) $10

Vaccinations for Scout, Kelsey, Miracle, Houston @ $38 each ($152)

Another unexpected veterinary expense was for Cali aka Jetta (one of our 2011 rescues/German Shepherd). She was not feeling well & didn’t urinate for over 24 hours. Because of her location, she was seen by Dr.  Collins. She had a full blood work up & exam. The bill was $103. (She’s fine now). South Texas Veterinary Clinic (361) 358-8351, 356 W. FM 351, Beeville, TX 78102  Donations can be made directly to them with a phone payment or by mailing a check; by donating to our chip-in (http://scarlettandcarson.chipin.com/expenses-of-great-escape-rescued-k9s), or by mailing a check to Great Escape @ 609 Cologne Rd. Victoria TX 77905. Please make a note that the donation is for “Cali Brock.”
