ARPH Dog needing Extra Funds

Florida - Macie ARPH #12853

Macie ARPH #12853 (Florida)

Macie is a very sweet red bi merle aussie girl who was turned into the shelter with sarcoptic mange. Her pictures aren’t pretty but her spirit shines through. She is currently quarantined in a heated barn in Georgia and is being treated for the mange by a vet. Once she is well enough to travel, Macie will continue her journey to her foster home in Florida. Macie is 3-5 yrs old, spayed, and HW-. She walks nicely on a leash and knows several commands. Macie sends aussie kisses and butt wiggles to her supporters.

Update: Macie has recently healed from the sarcoptic mange and secondary infections. She is now available for adoption!

Michigan - Simone ARPH #12748

Please help Simone ARPH #12748 (Michigan)...

Simone ARPH #12748 is a 3-4 year old black tri female with a tail. We were alerted to her via Border Collie Rescue who had gone to the shelter where she was being held thinking that Simone was a BC. She is not a BC but all aussie. She was a stray and so badly matted and covered with fleas that she had to be professionally groomed . They were still unable to get the stains off her feet and legs leading us to believe that she was more than likely a working aussie on a farm. She was officially pulled from Ogemaw Animal Control near West Branch, MI. She was given all her shots and hw tested at the shelter except for a rabies shot. There was no pull fee from this shelter. She was discovered to be already spayed. We have wormed her, given a rabies shot, bought 3 months of HW meds and have done an x-ray.

Here is the issue: Simone has apparently an old healed injury to her left hip and rear leg. The vet did an x-ray and it is obvious that this is an injury that was never fixed. Consequently, she walks with a slight limp and doesn't put much weight on that leg. I had her evaluated at a vet clinic near me who has done hip surgery for us in the past and gives us a 20% discount on everything. From the physical examination and the previous x-rays it has been determined that FHO surgery is her best option for full use of that leg. Simone is great with cats, dogs and loves kids. She does have a pretty high herding drive but will make just about anyone a great family pet. Without the surgery, I'm not sure who would adopt a dog who is not complaining at all (we know our stoic aussies) but obviously has issues with that hip and leg. Some arthritis has already set in.

Won't you please help us help Simone to have her surgery so that she can lead a normal, active Aussie life with some lucky family to adopt her?

Simone sends Aussie kisses to her sponsors!
