Here's some ratties that need new forever homes
DogTime launches 'Save a Dog' Facebook app
http://apps.facebook.com/save-a-dog/
Chances are, your Facebook time is devoted to some pretty serious stuff: trying to determine whether your high school boyfriend is now bald, learning which Golden Girl you most resemble, that sort of thing. But imagine if you could use this precious time for even worthier endeavors, like helping dogs in shelters around the country.
Dog lovers, now you can.
Save a Dog
Save a Dog is DogTime's brand-new Facebook application--and the only one leveraging social media to help real dogs in need of homes. The way it works is simple. Once you install the Save a Dog application, you earn points by simply selecting one of the actions presented (for example, "foster a dog" or "walk your dog"). For every 2500 points you earn, Dogtime donates the financial equivalent of a cup of food to RescueGroups.org. Here's the great part: It's free to use. The only thing you spend is a moment of your time. And yep, you're helping to save real dogs.Rescue is in DogTime's bones
DogTime's mission has always been about helping dogs, specifically keeping them happy, well-behaved, and in good homes by providing straightforward information to the humans who love them. With Save a Dog, we're taking the effort a step further by actually supplying needed resources to shelters and the volunteers who run them.Find out more about how easy is it is to sign up for Facebook--and help save dogs--with just a click of the mouse...

Please contact Shirlene (Lovetospare@peoplepc.com) for more information about this pet.Maggie was found running along Lasalle in a rainstorm on a Sunday afternoon. My friend saw her in her rearview mirror, and had to go back and pick her up. Maggie had heartworms and was undernourished. She has been treated and fattened up. She just wants to be a lap dog. She would be great for older folks who want a quiet companion.

See Sissy's HomepageMeet Sissy. She is a female Rat Terrier adult that weighs about 17 lbs. She is very well behaved and has great house manners. She is crate, leash and house trained. She gets along well with other pets and does not seem to mind cats. She has had her shots and been spayed. She did test positive for heart worms and has been started on her monthly heartworm prevention which she will need to stay on and then be retested in 6 months to re-evaluate her heartworm status. We are not going to put her thru heartworm treatment at this time. If you are interested in meeting Sissy in person please go to our home page at www.spcaofmc.com and fill out an on line adoption application so we can set up a time for you to come and meet this pet in person to see if it is the right new pet for you and your family. Thank you for considering a rescue pet. Please spay or neuter your pets.

Jessica is saved!
I just read my email and found that Jessica, the cute little rattie I featured on the last posting, has been adopted and now has a new forever home. I hope she is loved and treated like family at her new home. I can't imagine what it must be like to live most of your life in a cage, so I hope she has a big yard to play in.
It's not often that you get such quick Good News in the area of rescues. Just goes to show you what a cutie she is and what good taste the new family has. Rat terriers are the best pets you can ever have.
Good Luck, Jessica. Enjoy your new home.

Brody needs some help! Will you give it?
Here's and article about a little rattie named Brody. Brody was thrown out of the window of a moving car and ended up with two broken front legs (see the xray below). He was rescued from his shelter and placed in a foster home by Ratbone Rescues. Unfortunately, the first attempt to repair his legs is unsuccessful and he will now need another surgery. The cost for the surgery is around $2000.00, but after completed Brody should be just like new!
Here's where you and your help come in.
Brody after he was picked up by a Ratbone volunteer. At this point his legs were not set correctly so he was in pain.
This was his legs UNDER the casts. No wonder he was grumpy and didn't want to be touched.
Now he has cleaned up skin and padding under the casts. He is now friendly and smells good. If that little change made him happy, imagine how happy he will be after the surgery!
This is from the original posting I found online at "two humans, three dogs, and a cat":
Brody's surgery will cost $2,000 and will be worth every penny to make this little fellow healthy and whole again. Of course, that's a lot of money for a little homeless dog, so here's where we need more of those kind souls; those who might be willing to make a small donation towards his surgery. After hearing Brody's story, several of us are taking him on as our Christmas project. (Note: We are not associated with Ratbone Rescues, other than to be supporters of and contributors to their cause to save Rat Terriers who are in danger. Also, we are not fundraisers. We are just people who care and want to help.)
What better way to show the Love of the Season than to help a little dog like Brody. Let's prove to Brody that the human race is full of kind and caring people! Let's show those awful people who mistreated this little guy that they will not win, but that Love wins each and every time! Will you help?
If you wish to make a donation to help Cody Brody with his surgery, there are two ways to do so. You may make a donation through the Ratbone Rescues website:
http://www.ratbonerescues.com/ or by “snail mail” to Ratbone Rescues, P.O. Box 3237, Seminole, Florida 33775-3237. Please note that the contribution is for Cody Brody's surgery.
Thank you all and God bless us everyone!
