Before and After Stories

Phoenix was found at the Brownsville Animal Shelter dog park with a very severe burn to his head and neck. Later discovered--a neighbor had "accidentally" thrown hot cooking oil on him.  He was rushed to Arroyo Animal Clinic where Dr. Shelly Mitchell realized the burn was about  4 days old.  This story received much media attention. Phoenix' wound was cleaned, dressed, and managed daily for 3 weeks. He was adopted by a loving family.    
Phoenix recovered well and now only has a small bald spot where his burn used to be. He stole the heart of a very special family while in recovery. They patiently waited for his health to improve and the legal situation to resolve.  Phoenix is loving his new home with two siblings to teach him the ropes.
Phoenix, on a subsequent veterinary visit, had an old leg bone break that was never  treated.  He is bow- legged that can cause growing pains. This type of injury can be caused by irresponsible breeding.  Please spay and neuter your pets. If you can help others pay to get their animals neutered that is a bonus. Please research before buying an unvetted, unvaccinated puppies on Facebook or Craigslist.

Casper

Casper came to us with horrible wounds all over his body. He was most likely attacked by another dog.  Not unusual for intact (not neutered) dogs fighting over a female in heat. Unfixed dogs (male and female) can pick up scents for 2 miles.  They will dig under fences, go through walls, to get to another dog. Male dogs are often killed fighting over a female. Females often try to get away from male dogs so it is a bad situation for male and female dogs. Casper was on the losing end of a dog fight. Like others, he could have died. Lots of medical attention and TLC allowed him to trust again. He recovered months later and found his forever home.

 Casper was immediately taken to the veterinarian to treat his wounds.  This is BEFORE.
 Months later Casper made a full recovery and found his forever home.  
Before and after grooming. Hansel and Gretel tested positive for heartworm and will receive treatment prior to adoption. These dogs' condition is due to owner neglect. They are  scared, timid and not used to human contact. Hansel and Gretel are still in foster care with us getting behavioral rehabilitation learning to trust humans while they wait for their forever, loving home.
