Eloise & the Boys.....Update!

First...here is an update on the "boys"...Elliott, Eddy, and Elvis have all been adopted.  Here they are with their new families...

Elliott

Elvis

Eddie

We wish them all many years of happiness and love with their new families!  And we hope to hear from them as they grow up and become happy, healthy family members! 

Momma Eloise is doing very well! She has finished her treatments for heartworm disease and has received a clean bill of health! Eloise will need to go back to the vet in 4 months for a follow-up visit where she will be heartworm tested again to make sure she has remained heartworm free!  

Meanwhile, her foster mom says Eloise is a happy girl! (Check out the videos below.) Eloise is ready to find her forever home so she will start coming to our adoption events and will be listed online shortly.  If you are interested in possibly adopting her, please fill out an application on our website www.furrykidsrefuge.org/adoptadog/ 

Would you like to help support the care of Eloise and other furry kids like her?  Making a donation would help with their veterinary expenses and overall care. Even $5 would help and 100% of all donations will go towards their care.  Click HERE to make your donation.

Eloise & Her Boys....Update!!

May 16 2015 -  Momma Eloise is doing very well!  Foster mom Carla reports that she is like a big lovable teddy bear!  She pretty much has the run of the house and the other dogs in the home know not to get in her way or she will tell them to move along! LOL!!  Eloise is now on Doxycycline for the next 3 weeks in preparation for her heartworm treatment. Doxycycline has been proven to help dogs under going the treatment have a better success rate because it makes the heartworms easier to kill and reduces the post-treatment side effects.  

Eloise's boys went to the vet today for their second booster and to be neutered...so it was a big day!!  And the boys are getting big...Elvis weighed in at 14lbs, Elliott 13.2lbs, and Eddie is 12.4lbs.  And another big day is finally coming as well, they will be available for adoption as of Saturday, May 23rd!!  

Here are some more videos from the last few weeks...

Meet Eloise & Her Boys!

In March of this year a kind and caring person saw a post on the Bates/Cass County pet page about an 8 month old puppy that had been left behind when the family had moved away.  Relatives had named the puppy Hazel and were feeding her but they were unable to keep her so they were really hoping someone could provide a good home for the puppy.  Allen Brooks, with House of Hound, was contacted and went out there to see if he could help.  While Allen was there checking on Hazel, he saw another dog that was obviously pregnant. He learned that this dog had also been left behind when the owner moved. Allen was told all about Momma and how she had puppies before, at least 3 litters. Momma and her puppies were treated terribly by her owners and she was constantly stressed over her puppies.  Even though Allen had only gone out there to rescue Hazel he could not leave Momma there so he took both of them in hopes of helping both animals find safe haven.

Both Hazel and Momma were taken to the vet where Allen learned that Momma was heartworm positive...not good news!  Treatment for heartworm disease is costly and to complicate matters, since Momma was pregnant, she couldn't be treated until after she delivered her puppies.  Allen found a great home for Hazel but was not having much luck finding a home for a pregnant dog.  Allen reached out to a friend and his wife, the Jackson family, and asked if they could take Momma, and they did.  They welcomed Momma into their home and took great care of her, making her comfortable in anticipation of the delivery of her puppies.   Meanwhile a lot of people were getting to know Momma's story and were wanting to help.  A Go-Fund-Me page was created to raise money for Momma's heartworm treatment and the Facebook "Momma Love" community rallied around her holding raffles to raise money as well.

On March 18th, the big day arrived and Momma had her puppies.  She and the puppies stayed with the Jackson family for several weeks getting lots of love and care. However, after awhile, it was decided that Momma should be moved to another foster home.  Momma had become very protective of her puppies and was acting aggressive towards the other dogs in the home.  Furry Kids' Refuge was contacted and agreed to take Momma and her puppies into their care.  

Momma and the puppies got settled into their new foster home and Momma was given the name Eloise after a beloved Aunt.  The puppies were all given names beginning with the letter "E."  Fast forward several weeks and Momma and the puppies are doing great....take a look!
