Our little puppy trio, Puddy, Pancake and Leon, are doing very well and getting lots of love and outstanding medical care at Pet PT in Cherry Hill. Dr. Russell Howe-Smith and his staff are working hard to ensure that our little puppies have the best possible chance at living full, normal lives. They have a long, long way to go, but they could not be in better hands and we are grateful to Dr. Howe-Smith for taking on this long-term puppy project.

In case you missed their original story, these little puppies were brought in to our AHS Newark facility not long before Christmas when they were about 10 weeks old. The puppies have Swimmers Syndrome, and cannot walk or hold themselves up. In many cases with Swimmers, many puppies can make a full recovery when they begin treatment at around 3 weeks old. These puppies will be much tougher to rehabilitate, since their treatment only just began. They are the result of an irresponsible pet owner, and it is such a shame that they were not brought in sooner. At least they are getting the best treatment now, and though we’re unsure of what their futures hold, we are so glad that they will now have a chance at a future.

We’ve received these videos and photos, courtesy of Pet PT, showing some of the pups during their physical therapy treatments. We are so grateful to have our Res-Q Fund to enable us to get the puppy trio the help that they need, and as you can see, there is never a time when this fund is not needed.

Puddy, Pancake and Leon are not available for adoption at this time. They have a long, tough road ahead of them. We will keep you all updated on their progress here on our Facebook page, and on our website- www.ahscares.org

We have some more good news to share for another deserving pet…..our beautiful bunny Babs got a wonderful home! Woo hoo Babs! This friendly and lovable bunny was on the hop for several weeks when she got away from her home, and no one came looking for her. One of our staff members noticed her hopping around, looking for something to eat. He tried and tried and finally, was able to rescue this sweet little girl and bring her to safety. You would think that Babs would be skiddish and leery of people after her ordeal, but she just could not be any sweeter. We are so happy that she got herself noticed quickly, and now Babs is living the great life that she deserves. Congratulations Babs and family, and may you have a long, happy, healthy life together!

This beautiful young lady is Sundae, a 3 year old calico cutie that would just love a great home of her own. Sundae was one of several cats living in a barn and being cared for by an animal lover. When this person passed away, there was no one to care for her animals, so we took in many of them. Sundae is happy to be safe and cared for, and is eager to move ahead in a wonderful new home. Sundae is a pleasant and sweet girl that is playful, active, and outgoing. She makes friends very easily and gets along great with everyone she meets. She likes other cats and is happy to socialize with them in our free-roaming area. Sundae would be a loving companion that would be happy to sun herself on a comfy perch by day and curl up in your lap every night. She would make the perfect addition to any loving, caring family that will welcome her as part of the family and cherish her forever. File#23875 8/27/14

It doesn’t get more heartless than this folks…..this handsome young pup thought he was going out for a walk one day but instead, his owner walked him right up to some railroad tracks, tied him to the tracks, and left him there. Thank goodness someone spotted him before it was too late. He has been named Rally, since our AHS Newark staff has all rallied around this sweet boy, and he is ready to put this whole awful mess behind him and start over. Rally is in our AHS Newark facility. For all questions and adoption inquiries, please contact them. Click here for the full story on Rally: http://www.ahscares.org/showarchive.asp?id=12392
