"Kellary came into the shelter stray and injured. He's friendly and calm. He's about 2 years old and weighs 43 lbs. He doesn't use his right rear leg. He walks very slowly. His leg and/or hip is damaged and he needs veterinary care asap. He is being made as comfortable as possible with pain meds. He is AVAILABLE TO RESCUE IMMEDIATELY. Can someone give this sweet dog a helping hand?"
This was the plea to help this handsome boy and DKC has stepped up. We don't know how he came to be a stray, if he was hit by a car or how he sustained his injury. But we know we want his story to have a happy ending. Will you help craft that happy ending?
Kellary's first visit to the vet indicates a dislocation that could not simply be popped back into place, so surgery is required. The extent of his surgery will depend on how long his hip has been out of joint and what correction will be necessary to get him back on his feet.
Once his surgery is complete, we need a foster home to help with Kellary's rehab. He is a gentle soul and will be no bother. He likes people, cats and other dogs.
Please, if you can help, sign on as a Guardian Angel and donate to Kellary's care or sign on as a foster parent and let us know you will take him into your home while he recuperates. Thank you.
In 2009 we adopted out over 300 of our lovely pets.
We rescued 213 cats/kittens. This included 171 kittens, 72 of whom came in with 17 moms. That's 99 motherless kittens, including bottle babies. We adopted out 137 of the kittens and 5 moms. Everyone wants the babies! We also adopted out 99 shelter adults for a total of 241 cat adoptions!! This is almost double from 126 cat adoptions in 2008.
We rescued 90 dogs/puppies. Everyone wants the puppies or small dogs, and we did not get as many small ones in 2009 as in prior years. Nonetheless, forever homes for 86!! It is sad we don't have as much room at the shelter for the canines as for felines. This is why we desperately need foster homes.
Hearty congratulations to our adoption team volunteers and all our volunteers who help find forever homes and who help make shelter life special for those that are still waiting. Let's make 2010 even better!!
Please join us every Saturday from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. at PetSmart in Dallas (@Inwood and Forest) and help get our Fidos adopted! Even if you can't volunteer for the whole day, please consider transporting the dogs!
