WESTLOCK EMERGENCY RESCUE OF NINE DOGS
DONATIONS ALWAYS APPRECIATED TOWARDS CARE OF OUR
HOMELESS ANIMALS

Anne
received a call from By-law in Westlock in desperation
early in the day. There was a devastating fire in
Westlock and there are now 9 dogs needing emergency
placement. By 2:00 pm our foster homes came through and
we were able to help all 9 dogs and pups. All the
refugees are small dogs except for two dogs which are
small Lab crosses. Everyone got out alive but poor
little Porcha (3 month old Daschund) received burns to
her eye area due to the heat, she should be fine with
time and ointment. Mom (Sally) and her 5 week old pup
(Rizo) will be ready for adoption in a few weeks once
Rizo is old enough. Even though these little ones were
traumatized they are sweet, caring dogs who are well
socialized and all get along with dogs of all sizes and
are quite affectionate with people. They all seem to
look out for one another as well and we even suspect
that Tica and Bentley are a couple and we would love to
have these two adopted together.
Everyone needs to be spayed or neutered and medical care
due to heat burns. The gang consists of two Lab crosses
(Sheila and Toya), two Chihuahua’s (Tica and Aztec),
one Min Pin (Bentley) and four Daschunds (Sally, Rizo,
Ruby and Porcha).

All 9
of our fire dogs are doing great in their foster homes,
and two have even found a home (Ruby and Porcha)
together. There is lots of interest in the gang and we
will update as we have more information.

As
of today all have found loving homes except Toya, but we
know this girl will also get a great new home to call
her own soon. We are happy to report that our couple
Bentley & Tica have been adopted together. Also our pup
with the burned eyes Porcha will have a permanent sister
in Ruby (now Mercedes) who was also a victim of this
terrible tragedy. Thank you to our supporters and of
course our foster homes who did not even hesitate to
help these needy 9 dogs and pups until new homes could
be found. |
