Right now we have an immediate need for foster homes for adult cats & medium/large size dogs.

Spider (named by the vet staff at Fish Creek Animal Hospital because she is a tall lanky Lab X) came to us on June 20, 2010 at 10:30 at night. We took one look at her and rushed her to Fish Creek 24hr Animal Hospital, the closest emergency clinic, an hour away. The people who brought her to us said she had been bleeding since early afternoon & they thought she had been shot. We knew that there was too much blood loss for a gunshot wound as it was pouring out of her, yet this entire time she was still nursing her 11 three week old puppies. Upon arriving at the clinic Dr. Ball rushed Spider into surgery, was able to stop the bleeding and spay her at the same time. Because of the amount of blood loss and as her white blood cell count was only at 14, her ability to survive the surgery was guarded, but the bleeding had to be stopped and this was the only hope.  

This is Darkness.  We received a call from Fish Creek Vet Hospital Friday night asking could we pick up a dog out on the Tsuu Tina reserve where she had most likely been hit by a truck.  Of course we agreed and one of our volunteers went and got her right away. She was in really rough shape and the staff at Fish Creek went to work right away to save her!  After examining her and running some tests the vets discovered that her front leg was dislocated at the elbow.  Her back leg was also dislocated and also has a few fractures.  She will be transferred to the Western Veterinary Specialist Centre to have the orthopaedic surgeon take care of her.  Right now, she is being kept on fluids and medication to control her pain. Despite all this, Darkness is very friendly and she loves people - especially females and kids, though is a little more nervous around men.  She also seems to really like other dogs.  

UPDATE JULY 5, 2010 

Darkness is under going surgery today. The surgery took longer then expected so she will under go surgery again tomorrow for her other leg.

Special Animals Require Special Care

In the past year, our rescue has taken in an extremely large number of animals who have extensive medical needs.  We’d like to tell you a bit about some of the special dogs and cats that have won over our hearts, the hearts of their foster families, and the hearts of our veterinarians.  The costs of caring for these “special needs”animals is a major hurdle for our rescue at the moment.  Our veterinary bills have been astronomical but we will never let an animal suffer.  Providing the best veterinary care is extremely important to us.  Our veterinary partners have been lifesavers (literally!) providing us with all the support we need and also reducing their rates whenever possible.  Anytime an animal needs extra medical care, though, we struggle to find the funds to pay for it.  If you or your company would like to sponsor any of these special cases, please contact us at oopsadazypresident@hotmail.com.  As we are a registered non-profit organization, donations are tax deductable.  We can create a certificate to acknowledge your sponsorship.  Donations of any amount are appreciated- cheques can be sent to Box 57089  Calgary, AB  T1Y 6R4.  You can also donate through CanadaHelps.org- just click on the link on the side of the screen.  All of our fundraising efforts contribute to helping special cases like these as well.  Check our “Fundraising” page frequently for more information about upcoming fundraisers.  Thank you for your support.  Click on "Read More" to meet some of our special cases.
