Please help Bowser little pal, Andy puppy!
Today Bowser hear very very sad news from his friend Kim:
From the trenches again:
On Tuesday April 10 I got a call from a fellow rescue worker. Annie is a pug
rescuer and had been at a Kansas City shelter to pick up a pug. While there
she saw a puppy in a cage and asked the vet what happened to it. The vet
replied that it had come in as a stray and had been doused with lighter
fluid and set on fire. Annie inquired as to what breed it was. The vet
replied "a four month old basset pup, but no one will come to reclaim it I'm
sure." Annie informed the vet that she knew just the person to come get that
puppy.
Andy pup had to be kept until Saturday April 14 because he came in as a stray.
I picked him up Saturday a.m. I was not prepared for how bad he looked. But
mostly I was not prepared for the animated nature of this pup. I expected
him to be depressed and withdrawn. But upon placing him in his puppy
playpen - I realized that mostly what I had was a very playful 4 month old
basset. He is a happy, active baby boy. Andy is a little short on ears and a
little long on legs but basset none the less.
Andy is recieving medical care from one of our regular basset vets. He may
require some reconstructive surgery as time passes and his wounds heal. We
will try to update the pictures so you can see his progress.
If you would like to help with Andy's medical bills please send donations
