WELCOME TO DOGWOOD: ANOTHER BABY IN NEED: HELP SAVE JOEY!!!!!!

THE EVOLUTION FROM PRINT TO BLOG

For two years, I wrote a newspaper column about the misadventures of the Dogwood pack. Our pack consists of my six dogs ,two cats, and me. We have the Queen and oldest, Lucy the Lab. Then there's my special Child, Charlie, a German Shepherd/lab mix who owns me. My rat terror (I mean terrier) Hines keeps us in check, while Italian grey hound/terrier mix Daisy destroys the furniture. Our sweet cat Pearl, who passed away in August of 2010 from complications brought on by Feline Leukemia, was a lone feline for her short five year existence. When she passed, orange long hair tabby kitty Bart, and Siamese Flame Point Sebastian moved into our hearts.

When we moved to a new town, I was unable to continue the columns, so we decided to stick our paws into the 21st century.
Since the move, TWO MORE sets of paws run the floors at Dogwood. Linus, a little black lab, and Squirt the Chi-Weenie.

Now that we have moved onto blog media, I will keep the mayhem of my fur kids adventures updated as they happen. I also want to post special needs animals and stories about shelters and people who are doing wonderful work for rescue. Since this is no longer edited or censored--you may see images that are a bit more shocking, and read copy that has a bit more venom--so be prepared. Thank you all for reading!!!!!!!!!

ANOTHER BABY IN NEED: HELP SAVE JOEY!!!!!!

I want you to see the face of abuse. It's in the picture above.

JOEY came to the pound with BOTH FRONT LEGS BROKEN!
As he is at Animal Control, they are not funded for such care or emergency procedures. SO IT'S UP TO US!

WE NEED TO HELP JOEY!! by raising $1600 dollars to operate on his little legs.

Dr. Howard at ANIMAL HOSPITAL at

(931) 647-1696
11 Mcclure St
Clarksville, TN 37040

has agreed to do the surgery.
The final total may be more--it depends on how JOEY responds.
JOEY has a chance at a good life. He will get his surgery--and then HE HAS A FOSTER who has stepped up to take care of him AFTERWARD--But he needs help NOW!

I know we just got together to raise money for little GUNTHER who was shot and suffered a severed urethra and required expensive surgery(Doing fine by the way at last report!)--but anyone who deals with animals knows that this is a NEVER ENDING battle.

If you have it to give--PLEASE do so. Give up your cigarettes today or don't have that cheese burger for lunch--donate at least 5 dollars to help give this little guy that chance to run and play again.
If nothing else--whisper a prayer that this need will be met and that JOEY will WALK AGAIN.
If you can make a donation, when you do so--cover it with a prayer that God will help multiply it into the amount needed for JOEY's operation and recovery.

PLEASE DONATE TO ANIMAL HOSPITAL IN CLARKSVILLE TN by calling 931-647-1696 TODAY!
I called the vet office myself and made sure they will take donation via phone and credit card (you can mail a check too--just make sure it is notated FOR JOEY).
They don't accept American Express (just to be clear on whats taken)
You can also send a check to ANIMAL CONTROL in CLARKSVILLE TN
Montgomery County Animal Control 616 N. Spring Street Clarksville, TN 37040
Per Director Karen Josephson,
" If they (citizens who donate)mail checks , they should be made out to Animal Control ATTEN: JOEY... this way the donation can be tax deductible"

IT DOESN'T GET DONE UNLESS WE DO IT TOGETHER!!! Please help in any way possible.
