On July 25 in the evening we received a message from a friend and volunteer, Lori. She had intercepted a little pit bull mix puppy who had allegedly had its mouth wired (externally) closed at some point. Just one look at the photos and you'll see why we couldn't turn her away. How sad that anyone would even think to do this to an animal...
We call her Kappie. We had her spayed, vaccinated, and started on heartworm prevention. She's about six months old. We are trying to move her to a rescue out of state. Kentucky is no place for abused or neglected dogs since we all knows the "laws" around here are basically non-existent and even the ones we have are rarely enforced. I'm attaching a link to a news story. I don't need to explain this, but feel free to leave your thoughts. Meet Kappie...

Sundays are usually full of rescue stories. Today we intercepted five little puppies approximately 8 weeks old. They were found on a riverbank, apparently abandoned, by a concerned citizen. They were able to coax the puppies off the bank and bring them to us.
The puppies are lice infested, flea infested and have skin infections with patches of thinning hair. They are likely full of worms as their bellies are very swollen. A couple of them have drainage from their eyes and one has an ulcerated sore on its ear. We also had a request to take in two kittens that someone found as strays. They are skinny and in need of care, but we cannot take them. We are going to try to document on this blog anytime we get requests that we both can and cannot be of assistance. We are currently overfull and really didn't have room for the five puppies, but we couldn't turn them away and leave them on that riverbank in the middle of nowhere. I wish we could help with the kittens, too, but there is NOWHERE for them. I at least had an open kennel to hold the puppies. |
