Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!  I hope you all had a great holiday season! Now to get through the winter snuggle up with those dogs of yours. Don't have one?  We have a bunch of new arrivals coming up from a high kill shelter tomorrow morning!

 I want to highlight a pup who has had a lifelong struggle, but has a very happy ending!

Poppi, a lab-mix girl who oozed sweetness despite her terrible struggles. Here is her story.

 

 January 2012, Poppi was transported to New Jersey. She brought with her some very special cargo, 3 blessed pups.  She brought them into the world healthy and strong and mothering them so lovingly. All three healthy puppies were adopted to loving forever homes.  Then we found out some news.  Poppi was not only left in that shelter to fight alone for her babies, she also was left to struggle with Heartworm.  Poppi was in the fight of her life. She had a very tough time with the treatment.  We were very worried for her quite a few times.  We found out that she had two tick related diseases that contributed to her having difficulty walking.  Upon further x-rays...Poppi was found to have a bullet lodged in her hip.  Turns out that this sweet girl we first met was also not as young as first thought.  She is definately 8+.  Months of antibiotics later...I'm happy to report that Poppi is heartworm free and exploring the back yard with the other dogs.  She is happy and on her way to a full recovery!

Poppi was recently adopted by her foster mom after almost a year in foster care. Her foster mom was the last to know that Poppi adopted her, but the rest of us knew she wasn’t going anywhere! Congrats to Poppi and her forever family!

Poppi can now rest comfortably. Her babies are safe and she does not have to worry about anything!

We have about a dozen or so dogs coming up, if you would like to foster or sponser a dog in foster care please visit our website at www.wagoninn.rescuegroups.org

 

Wag On Inn tries to save as many dogs as possible! With that we incur a lot of costs, we have to hold fundraisers to pay for vet bills, medicine, food, and transportation of our dogs and cats.  If you would like to suggest a fundraising idea please email me at addiemaranda@yahoo.com. We also collect donations and products for our gift auctions at our various events throughout the year. Every bit is appreciated! Thank you!
