One of our volunteers saw this little dog being set out of a truck at the
end of her road. She is very sweet and was previously spayed. However, she was not put on
heartworm prevention and subsequently tested positive for this dreadful condition. She is
now in rescue and we have started treatment. We get so many dogs that require treatment.
It is a risky, treatment involving a lot of time and money, yet so preventable.
Please help us by donating to this deserving animal and please keep
your dog on heartworm prevention.

Wrigley
|
Wrigley was taken out of a near by shelter. He was heartworm negative
and we thought we were home free. He arrived from transport and we realized he wasn't
using his rear leg very well. That was only the tip of the iceburg for this poor thing.
His neuter became badly infected and we think if ruptured through and out of his
stomach. He required emergency surgery. While at the vet x-rays were taken of his
hip and we found he had also been shot in his rear at some point in his life, his
hip socket is gone and he will require more surgery to help with his ability to walk.
His initial vet bill is over $1000.00 and the FHO surgery required is estimated to be
over $300.00. Please help us give him his much needed surgery.He is such a sweet and
beautiful animal. He just needs some kindness and help.

Gus
|
Rescue was called for this boy as he tested positive for heartworms. He
was in a local shelter and they could not adopt out a dog with this fatal disease.
He needed to be treated. Heartworms is beyond what traditional shelters can do because
of the time involved with treatment. Rescue was his only hope. Once we met this sweet
boy, we knew there was no choice. We had to help. We can only do this with the support
of others who love animals too. We are an all volunteer organization and rely on you.
Can you please help Gus?

Duke
|
Duke is Mr. Personality. He loves to romp and play with the big dogs. Maybe that is
how he tore the Anterior Cruciate Ligament in his knee. However he did it, Duke requires surgery to repair
his knee and restore function to his back leg.
We need your support to cover the surgical expenses.

Babette and Davidson
|
These melt-your-heart Dachshunds were pulled from a County Animal Shelter
because they have heartworms. They love to curl up on the couch with their foster mom and
are ever-appreciative of their new (if temporary) living arrangements.
Due to the sudden influx of rescue pets, we need your help now more than ever to give these
wonderful pets the veterinary care they need so they can find families of their own.
Please help these deserving Dachshunds get Heartworm Treatment?

Porsche
|
The Humane League came upon her when taking other rescues from a local
Animal Shelter. The caregivers there showed her to us and asked if we could help. Porsche
had been hit by a car and couldn't or wouldn't walk. At first she we didn't know how
extensive her injuries were. She was taken to the vet and X-rayed. Her pelvis was
badly injured and we truly didn't know if she was going to make it. The Veterinarian
started her on pain meds right away and anti-inflammatories. The best we could do was
give her some time. And Miracles of Miracles, her spirit to survive has prevailed.
She will be coming into foster care after a lengthy stay at the vet. We are very
hopeful she will make a wonderful recovery. Can you please help support her and the
veterinarians that have helped her by donating to her medical expenses?
Through all of her pain and suffering, she has never offered to nip or bite.
She has maintained a very good disposition.
This certainly makes her a dog worth saving.

Prissy
|
Prissy was abandoned in Dawson County Her owners left her behind when they moved.
A neighbor started feeding her, but she had to move as well. When her elderly parents
realized no one was caring for her, they couldn't bear the thought of this poor soul
being alone and hungry. They went and rescued her. Unbeknownst to them, she was pregnant.
They helped her raise her pups, and the Humane League helped with placing some of them.
We also helped by spaying Prissy and heartworm testing her. The final blow for this poor
dog was she tested positive for heartworms. Now she needs treatment.
We are sponsoring the dog and family who only want her happy and healthy.

Roxie
|
Roxie was abandoned when her owners moved. They let her have pups, and
then left her. They left her knowing she was in terrible condition. Fortunately for Roxie,
she was rescued by one of the Humane Leagues volunteers. Upon taking her to the vet, they
realized she was positive for heartworms. They took care of the surgery she needed, and
now she needs help with her heartworm treatment.

Neglected Collie
Partially shaved Collie
 |
**Update December 19, 2007:
After a full evaluation at the Vet, the bad news has piled higher. This super-sweet 8-9 year-old collie is
heartworm positive. Not surprising that the previous owner neglected to provide the once-per-month
pill that would have prevented the deadly worms from infesting this poor dogs heart. Treatment and recovery
will be a slow process, but he will receive the love and care he needs throughout the course of treatment.
Please protect your pets from heartworms with the proper medicine from your Vet.
Animal Control impounded this purebred collie in response to the owner's neglect and refusal to
render proper care for his pets. The feces-filled fur was so matted on the back of the collie, the mat was as
hard as a turtle shell. The collie had difficulty moving, eating, even tilting his head due to the extremely
matted hair painfully pulling on his neck, legs and body.
Needless to say, the first course of action when he was taken into the care of Humane League of Lake
Lanier was a professional shave-down. Long-time collie rescuers, we have never had to full-body shave a
collie in our program before, which indicates the height of neglect this poor dog suffered.
Although we are an all volunteer organization, rescue pets often require professional services, such as
this difficult groom, before a veterinarian can even examine them.
Please help us continue to provide this level of care to the rescue pets in your community.
