FRED

Meet Fred, our awesome big boy is around 2 years old and 72 lbs of pure adorableness!

He is currently living in NYC and settling in nicely! Despite being abandoned in the woods in rural Oklahoma he is a big chunky goofball who just wants to be around his humans. His foster mom says, He is extremely friendly and happily waits to make friends with anyone who passes. Fred is mostly quiet, but has a very loud bark and will occasionally bark once or twice at the sound of neighbors in the hall. He has very good manners but if he gets too excited he will drool all over you. He sleeps quietly in his crate (fair warning though he does have a cute little snore). He loves fetch with his toys and will spend hours in a full sploot laying by your feet chewing on his bone. He's a 70 pound, 2 year old pittie mix ready for his forever home!

BIRDIE
(Can't commit to adopting right now?  I also need a Foster home)

Foster needed- This beautiful girl is an owner surrender. She’s five years and about 70 pounds. She was adopted from a shelter in March and is now exhibiting signs of separation anxiety when her people leave for work. She will bark when left alone so an apartment building is not suitable. She is house trained and likes to play with dogs her size. She calmly acknowledges little dogs on the street. When she entered the shelter, she had a sibling but they were separated. She may prefer a dog companion to help with her anxiety.

She needs a foster ASAP!

CASH
Meet Cash! Cash is about 6 years old and believed to be a Coonhound mix. His foster dad says, "He is an absolute smooch. He loves to run, play, and snuggle. He has some food aggression so he needs to be fed away from other animals." He is housetrained and knows some basic commands. He isn't aware of his body size nor his strength but he is good with kids but needs to be reminded not to jump up. He's lived with 2 cats before and coexists well. He is good with dogs of all sizes, too!

Friends with Four Paws: Emergency Medical Grant     April 15, 2020 Report
from Petfinder Foundation

What was the money or product used for?

The money was used to pay for Coupe’s surgery to remove a mass on his adrenal gland, in the hope it would help reduce his ailments.

How did this grant help your organization and the pets in your care?

We successfully raised the rest of the needed funds and moved forward with the procedure.
How many pets did this grant help?

1

Please provide a story of one or more specific pets this grant helped.

Coupe, who is about 8 years old, was adopted from the Bethany shelter as a youngster and was was returned this year when his owner died. They called and asked us to take him to save him from euthanasia. We took him in, and right away we noticed he wasn’t well. We took him to the vet and learned he had pancreatitis and high kidney enzymes. He was then hospitalized on fluids to treat the pancreatitis and kidney enzymes, and started on the usual medications and special diet. We found a wonderful couple that was willing to adopt him after learning about his medical problems. Then he got sick again, on New Year’s Eve, and we ended up taking him to the E.R., where he spent the night on fluids, again. They also did an ultrasound since the doctor who does ultrasounds was the veterinarian that night. A mass was found on his left adrenal gland. The doctors believed this mass was causing his problems of recurrent pancreatitis as well as his kidney problems and his excessive shaking.
Coupe had the surgery to remove the mass from his adrenal gland in February. The mass was thankfully found to be benign. We have seen improvement in his health since the removal; he has not bounced back to full health like we’d hoped he would, but we are optimistic he will find an adopter soon who can continue to care for and love him despite his health issues.

Thank you so much Petfinder Foundation for all of your help!

  Getting a dog cross-country is no easy task, getting 20 or more at once is a labor of love! We send our dogs rescued from shelters and homeless situations in Oklahoma, to New York and New Jersey, where there are many more people to give them homes.
Will you help us get a cargo van to move these dogs to their new homes? 
Our goal is $75,000.
Thank you for your consideration!
We're grateful!
