Troy Roadblock a Success in the Rain!

The Troy Roadblock was a success on Saturday even in the rain.  It pretty much rained the whole time but people were very kind and donated just over $1100.00 to help our rescues.  Big thank you to Bob and Cindy, Angela, Tricia, Cindy, Amy and Matt and Jennifer, for standing out there in the rain to help collect money.  You are real troopers!  We also handed out nearly 1000 spay/neuter clinic brochures to get the word out about the low cost available at the shelter.

Update on Sheba

Sheba is doing great!  She got the drains out of her wounds on Thursday and Dr. Mollet was happy with her progress.  Due to the injury we all feared she would get a terrible infection but not a problem.  The wounds are healing nicely and the stitches should be out next Friday.  Her spirits are good and she is a really sweet girl.  Many very nice people rushed to her rescue and a big thank you to all of them.  Angie, who got the call and got things rolling.  The wonderful person that saw her and would not rest til she was safe.  Granite City PD. Mary and Sue who went to get her and took her to the E Clinic.  The Emergency Clinic for helping her thru the night till her owners could be found.  (FYI-we would have been glad to help the owner but he was very happy to place her in our care due to circumstances).  Horseshoe Lake Animal Hospital Vets and staff. Channel Five News for getting her story out there.  All the wonderful people that donated to help pay for the 2 1/2 hour surgery to fix all the injuries. A very happy ending to a very scary story.     

Dessie in her New Home!!

Dog Impaled on Fence-Caution Graphic Photo

   On Thursday PM one of our volunteers called and a neighbor in Granite had called to say a large white German Shepard had been impaled on her fence and could we help.  She was frantic for help.  The police had removed the 50 pound dog from the fence that was hanging upside down on the fence.  The Granite City police were contacted and stated we could take the dog to the emergency clinic.  The dog had a long tear on her stomach and was bleeding badly.  There was also a long gash on her back leg. Even with all her injuries she wagged her tail as we helped her.  She never tried to bite even though the pain had to be terrible. 
   At the E clinic the dog was checked and found to need surgery for the wound.  The staff at the clinic found a microchip but could not reach the owners.  All they could do was provide pain meds, fluids, antibiotics and a pressure wrap until the owner could be found.  The next morning the owner was found and relinquished the dog to us. Surgery was performed at Horseshoe Lake Animal Hospital to repair the injuries.  Dr. Mollet was optimistic and did not feel any punctures had been made to any internal organs.  This evening Sheba was resting comfortably at the vet.  The next few days will be critical due to the big risk of infection.  Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
