HIS "WILL" TO SURVIVE Will Update July 2008
Will is an adorable and very sweet beagle mix. He is about 5 years old. It has been a long, hard road for Will, but now he is healthy and happy and looking for his forever home. He is about 30 pounds...the perfect size! He is up to date on all vaccines and is on monthly heartworm prevention. He does have" dry eye" in one of his eyes and requires daily drops in that eye. He is housetrained and crate trained. He gets along with other dogs and doesn't pay much attention to the cat at his foster home. He loves his daily belly rubs! He is an excellent walking partner in the park! Will is eager to find his new loving home.....could it be yours? Will Update June 2008 Date: Friday, June 6, 2008, 9:54 AM Before June 6th, 2008 I was giving Will his bath...he has to have a bath in a special shampoo 2-3 times a week... and I was noticing all of the hair that was growing back on his head. My husband took pictures and we did a before and after so you could see the difference in his condition. Hair is growing back all over his little body. He now has white feet and legs and white on his chest and the rest of him looks as if he will be a reddish color. He is one of the most affectionate dogs that I've ever fostered. I'm afraid I'm spoiling him. He loves to play fetch now and could lay with me on the couch for hours for a belly rub! I've almost taught him to roll over! Smart guy!!! Thanks again for everything that you've done to help Will. Marsha and Will Rogers
Will update May 2008
He is doing very good! The staff at the vet's office could not believe the
personality change in him. His tail was wagging and he was wanting to give
everyone kisses at the office. He is truly a trooper! We still have a long
way to go, but at least we are on our way. He has some other health issues
that were addressed today, but I think we can overcome those too! I forgot to
mention in the previous email that I sent out, that Will had been shot...not
sure with what, but I did ask the vet about this today. She said that as
long as he is walking OK, we won't worry about the bullet right now. We will
be monitoring him though. I took Will to the park for a walk this past week
and he had a blast. He walks so good on a leash. Except for all of his
health issues, he is the perfect little doggie. He still scratches and
bites himself, but not as bad as he was. Every day, I see signs of a happy
little Beagle Boy coming through. I am so thankful to each and every one of
you for helping Will and I know, if he could, he would give you a doggie kiss
to let you know how happy and thankful he is! I will continue to send out
updates. First set of photos
I'm writing this email this evening on behalf of my new friend and foster, Will. I have attached pictures of him. I got a call a week or so ago from a lady that had gotten my phone number in hopes that I could help her with some dogs that had been "put out" where she lives. The lady said she needed help with 4 puppies and a beagle mix. She sent pictures of the animals and when I saw the beagle mix's condition, I had to help him! It is hard to tell what breed of dog that he is, he has almost NO hair. His skin is covered in sores and is severely infected. The lady had tried to care for him and the puppies, but she was not able to care for them financially any longer. Most of you know beagles and beagle mixes are near and dear to my heart! I had to help this little guy. I stayed awake all night after I had seen his picture thinking about him and how I could help him. I have animals myself and am not able to take on anymore, but I had to find help for this dog!!! I contacted a local rescue to see if they would help me with the finances involved in getting this dog to a vet. I got the OK from the rescue group and he was taken to the vet. His diagnosis is a severe case of demodectic mange. The vet said he is the poster dog for a dog with demodectic mange. The vet also said it was one of the worst cases that he had seen. I named this dog Will because of his strong will to survive. Even though his little body is covered in sores and he does nothing but scratch constantly he will still wag his little tail and give you kisses. It kills me to touch him. I can only imagine what pain he is enduring. He is such a sweet dog. I have made a promise to Will that I will help him recover from this and he will never know pain and suffering again. His prognosis is that it will take about 6 months to get him back in shape with a whole lot of TLC and medications. I'm going to provide the TLC and I'm hoping you will help provide assistance towards his vet bills so that I can get Will back to being a healthy, happy beagle boy! PLEASE , if you can help by making a donation either directly to his vet or to the rescue group that is helping me by taking him into their rescue program. The rescue group is Ruff Love Rescue(THANK YOU SUE ROGERS) and the vet is Blue Flint Animal Hospital. I will put the information for you to donate at the end. Please earmark all donations for Will. I will be sending updates on his progress and you can view them on Ruff Love's website. Thank You So Much For Taking The Time To Read This!
