Charlie

CHARLIE IN HIS SPECIAL SPOT. CHARLIE LIKES HIS CAGE A LOT. HE IS ABLE TO GET AWAY FROM THE OTHER DOGS WHO CAN SOMETIMES BE A BIT ROUGH. CHARLIE ISN'T AFRAID OF THEM, BUT BEING A PARAPLEGIC, HE HAS TO BE CAREFUL. AFTER AN INJURY TO HIS SPINE, CHARLIE IS UNABLE TO MOVE HIS HIND QUARTERS, BUT HE IS STILL ABLE TO PLAY WITH HIS PALS.

THIS IS CHARLIE AND HIS PAL SHAH. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PHOTOS, SHAH IS A VERY GENTLE DOG AND IT IS OBVIOUS HE HAS MUCH AFFECTION FOR CHARLIE.

FOUR OTHER DOGS WILL BE CO-SPONSORED FOR SIX MONTHS. THE PHOTOS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AT PRESENT, HOWEVER, WHEN THE SHELTER CHOOSES THE DOGS THEIR PHOTOS WILL BE DISPLAYED.

FooFoo is a black & white poodle cross. She was half bald with mange, malnourished & the rest of her hair was matted together and infested with parasites. We had to cut her hair very short with scissors before we could bath & treat her. As you can see, it's all grown back well - in fact she needs another trip to the grooming parlour!

Manao is the little brown pup pictured on her own. She was nearly dead when we took her in. She recovered, but then contracted distemper. She still has some distemper symptoms, but we have every reason to believe she'll recover.

MEET RANI, SANGSOM AND DEE

Rani, on the left is a sweet and loving girl around 10 months young. She is in good health.

Mango is the black pup with longish hair, Sangsom is the black & brown dog (male) & Dee is the white & black dog. Mango was paralysed & nearly dead from blood parasites - she also contracted distemper, later. As you can see, she's fine now. Sangsom & Dee were both being attacked by other dogs at the Shelter. They were skinny & mangy, because they couldn't fight for food. They have both had distemper also & pulled through.

NB: Dee is now ready to go to a loving home, so she is not one of your babies.

THEIR SPONSORS ARE: ROSA MERTENS, HELGA ZAHLER, GWENAELLE de BIZEMONT, JEFF ALLEN, MIWA KUNZ-KUWAHARA, JOHN TEEVAN, RAKESH KHANNA, AND MONIQUE MOERENHOUT, STU CLARK, JESSE CLINOCK, SAM CLINOCK, AND SAMANTHA FORTIER

WE ARE NOW IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING WHEEL CHAIRS FOR CHARLIE, AND LUCKY AND EBONY, AND ALSO POSSIBLY THREE OTHER DOGS. DOGGON WHEELS ARE PREPARED TO DONATE SOME CHAIRS, HOWEVER, WE NEED TO COLLECT AT LEAST $800.00 U.S. TO PAY FOR TWO AND POSSIBLY THREE. CHARLIE, OF COURSE, WILL DEFINITELY GET A CHAIR IF I HAVE TO GO ON A BUDGET AND PAY FOR IT MYSELF.

PLEASE SEND AN E-MAIL TO eheb@telus.net to let us know if the donation is for the Sanctuary in Argentina or for the Dogs of Thailand.

HERE ARE THE PHOTOS OF TWO OF THE DOGS THAT NEED HELP: WE SHOULD HAVE MORE PHOTOS LATER ON THIS WEEK, AS DAWN IS MORE THAN BUSY WITH THE 100 OR SO DOGS THAT SHE HAS IN HER CARE.

LUCKY ON THE LEFT HASN'T ANY HIND LEGS; EBONY ON THE RIGHT IS PARAPLEGIC. PLEASE HELP US GET ENOUGH MONEY TOGETHER SO THAT THESE DEAR SOULS WILL BE ABLE TO GO FOR WALKS AND HAVE SOME FREEDOM AND KNOW THE JOY OF WALKING.
