Great news! Lily is on her way to recovery and a forever home!

It's really sad that all they had to do was feed her and give her some TLC and they didn't even do that. I'm just so glad that she has found her way to you and is on the road to recovery.:)

YAY Lily you get fattened up so you can get fixed and find a wonderful forever home :):thumbup:

What a wonderful thing you are doing for these babies. I hope Lily goes to someone here on YT so we can see her thrive in the beautiful sweet girl that she is.

She is a little beauty . Thank you for helping the little ones in need :thumbup:.

That poor, sweet baby. How could anyone be so cruel? Thank goodness for people like you. I pray that Lily finally has a happy, healthy life with people that love her.

Wow, that honestly just made me cry.

You are a great person with a big heart for doing what you are doing now.

Missy (we bought her from a pet shop) also looked extremely looked in bad condition when we first saw her. She didn't look groomed at all, and just simply looked unhappy. I can see why she was... God knows how long she was in that little space that was given to her, with a roommate to share. She was extremely skinny and just looked unhealthy. And THAT is why we chose her out of all the other puppies that looked in perfect shape than her. It's like she is in heaven with us now.... we show her loving and care 24/7

Continue to do what you do.... God bless you!!

God Bless you!!!! It's easy to take the prettiest one.......... it's loving to take the one who isn't! Thanks to you...........She's a beauty now!

I just talked to Trish and little Lily is continuing to thrive! Amazing what good food, exercise and most importantly, lots of love, can do!! It's hard to believe that there are so many out there needing just that!

God bless you for finding your Missy!! Sounds like she is certainly living the life she deserves! My son has a Border Collie, also named Missy, who had a pitiful beginning. He had gone to a local lake/park at lunch one day and when he finished his lunch, he threw his trash in the dumpster there. He heard a noise in the dumpster and when he raised the lid ... there were two little tiny Border Collie puppies!! Someone had just thrown them away like so much garbage!!! :( He, of course, jumped right in and got them out. They were hungry, skinny and flea infested. He took them back to work and one of the ladies in the office immediately took one of them. My daughter-in-law stopped off to see him and she [not an animal person at all] took the other one home with her! That was years ago and Missy has lived the life that even spoiled Yorkies would envy!! She has never, ever spent a night outside the house ... sleeps with my son and is, without a doubt, the most intelligent dog I have ever seen!! She is getting old and arthritic now and I worry so much about my son when she has gone to Rainbow Bridge. She is his constant, worshipful companion. We still call her our "Dumpster Dog"!! :p You just never know when you look at some of these pitiful, skinny, dirty little ones, what gem is inside! ;)

She looks so sweet! Way to go! I hope everything goes smoothly for you!

Congratulations for helping the little ones in need . :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

May God Bless you for taking her in!!!!! I was looking at her crusty toe, and it could be ring worm, i would have the vet do a smear, if it is ring worm you do not want her around other dogs, it takes about to weeks to find out, or the vet can run a light over it and tell at the office, please let me know, i hope it is not.

Thank you so much! When Trish took her to our vet, he examined it and said it's an old wound that wasn't treated and her chewing at it caused it to become infected. It's being treated and Trish says it's healing really well. Poor Lily ... all she needed was a little attention and some food and she wouldn't have been in that condition. Trish says that she is absolutely thriving and her little personality is beginning to emerge! She says that Lily is the sweetest little thing! All she needed was good food, a little medical attention and loads of TLC!! ;)

You both have the kindest hearts, and I am so glad to hear she is doing so well under your loving care.

I have seen many kinds of ring worm, and it does get crusty, and the crust comes off and it can spread, you can treat it with, (Brand name ) Virbac, and it is called Resizole, it is a leave on pink lotion treatment, and it should go away in a few weeks, that is how ring worm starts as a scab, and it looks infected and crusty, and will bleed when the scab comes off and almost leave a hole, the Resizole will clear it up in no time., it is not bad if that is the only spot, but it does spread quite easily, especially if she was stressed in the past. To be on the safe side, as you do not want spores in your home with your babies, i would defineatly ask the Vet what he thought, especially if it does not heal, if left alone and it does not spread, it will go away on it's own in about 6 months, if treated it is gone in about a week, the Resizole kills the spores so it can not spread and you put it on 2 or 3 times a day. While at the Vet you might also pick up some Malaseb Shampoo, to shampoo her in one time a week as she is so little, and that will also kill any spores that might be remaining, so it can not spread, the spores are not visible with the naked eye, i am going to take another look at her foot, it also takes away all the surrounding hair, i have worked with a lot of Vets, and gone to a lot of dog shows where it can easily be picked up, and it does look like ring worm to me. Better safe than sorry. Please let me know what the Vet says, i would think she would be knawing at her nails as they are so long and it does not look like she has, she can pick up ring worm from the ground, floating in the air, it is everywhere. The spores can live up to 17 months. Again i can't tell you how wonder full you both are for taking that sweet little girl in, she probably thinks she is in heaven, she is just a little doll, and i am so glad you recused her, and she is in your care, she really is a cute and deserving little girl, Many blessings to both of you!!!!! We need more people like you in this world.

I just looked at her foot with a magnifing glass, and it does really look like ring worm, when all the hair starts growing back the ring worm is gone. It looks like the hair is missing on the top of her foot, please let me know what the Vet thinks, their are so many different kinds that sometimes it is hard to spot. Some just take away the hair, and others leave a raised bump that gets crusty, comes off bleeds underneath, and there is a slight hole, the Resizole lotion will heal it in no time, when the hair grows back the ring worm is gone. I am just so worried about it as it could spread to her dogs, it is hard to tell from the picture, but i have seen several kinds, and without medication it is hard to clear up. Where in Colorado is she, I live in Colorado also, in Glenwood Springs. I would love to hear from her about your sweet little rescued girl!

Thank you so much for the information. We lived in Grand Junction for about 2 1/2 years ... my husband had a heart attack a year ago and we decided that he would recover better at a lower altitude. We moved back to our home in AL in April. I met my friend, Trish, in Grand Junction and we quickly became joined at the heart ... she is like a sister and it broke my heart to leave her. We had just decided to get our rescue started and now I feel helpless at what little I can do at a distance! We are hoping that when Patrick is better, we can go back to CO. ;)

Bettyeanne ,
You don't have to feel helpless because for me a little thing done + another little thing done = a little one happy in new home . I am proud of the little things you do for the little ones in need :thumbup: .

Lily
 

Thank goodness you got Lily away from those people. It is an unfortunate reality that some shelters, rescues, and some individual rescuers are not the best just as in every situation in life.
First of all, just so everyone is aware, ALL a 501(c)(3) really means is that an organization is non-profit and all donations are tax deductible. They do NOT monitor the activities of the organization.
If I were you, I would contact Animal Control in the area where Lily came from and report this person who was not caring for her. Heaven only knows how many others are/will be suffering the same, if not worse, fate than Lily.
Bless you for caring for this little one!

Bettyanne what a sweetheart she is. Your not the only one living under
a rock, I also thought rescue ment just that, to resuce not to abuse!
Bless you and your friend for doing whatever you can to help these poor
helpless little ones. I am sure she will clean up very nicely she has a very
sweet little face. Add a pretty pink bow some good food and she'll be ready
for a new loving forever home.

Also sending wishes for Patrick that he gets back to his old self real
soon.

I am sure you give her soooooooo much support on the phone and in emails, i have a good friend in Grand Junction that also used to rescue yorkies, she just resently got out of the rescue business as it was just too heartrbreaking for her. I am going to Grand Junction on the 12 th to have 6 of my males neutered that are not in my breeding program, just my wonderful little pets, I love Grand Junction and have several good friends there, if there is ever anything i can do from this end please do not hesitate to ask, i am not that far away, and would love to meet you someday. I admire anyone who takes in those precious little babies and gives them a second chance at life, you are an Angel in my book! I use Dr. Marquis on Broadway for all my surgery's he is the best Surgen in the State of Colo. when it comes to bones!!!! The name of his business is Tiara Rado Animal Hospital, he is the best for any kind of knee or hip sugery, and he recently just learned to do collasped tracia's! I use him for all my Sugery's as he is a perfectionast, and on these little guys he really knows what he is doing. I also use Suzzett at Adobies, for dental, she is so nice and reasonable!

Bettyanne, I also wanted to say how sorry i am that your husband had a heart attach, and I will have him in my prayers for a peaceful and long life.

I also know that you are doing so much for Trish just by being there, and giving her advice and support which is so important in the rescue business, it is so hard to see what people just give up on, it is heartbreaking to see a little girl in that shape, but when you get her back on her feet, you are both Angels that contributed to her recovery, a good friend is always such a great comfort in a time of need, so never undermine how important you are as a team in the rescue business, and how support and good friendship is soooooooo sometimes the difference between saving a life, or giving up on it. I have great admiremation for both of you!!!

What a terrible story! I'm so hapyp to hear that this little angel is in good hands and on the road to recovery now.

That's horrible. Poor baby. Please tell us the name and address of this animal rescue organization.

My Goodness!!! I can't believe you go to Tiara Rado!! Bob Marquis is my vet too. He operated on both of Shira's knees! The best surgery ever...... she's perfect now, can even jump! I love that clinic and that's where I take all my rescues too. They are about the most expensive in the valley, but well worth it to me. Kills me when all six need dentals there, though! What is Adobies? Haven't heard of it.

Believe me I've made sure that they have had a visit from the people who can do something, including the state veterinarian. They are currently under investigation. When I saw the condition that Lily was in, I made a point of doing all I could to get them stopped.

A Yorkie rescued from a rescue?!?
 

Good for you!

By the way, in a PM I said AZ...sorry wrong state. Senility is awful.:eek:

Hi Donna, Is Resizole a prescription? I'm not sure of what it is..... it's a lot better now, but not healing fast enough. Bob said it looked like an old injury that she'd been chewin on and got infected. All the swelling is gone now, but it still looks awful. Poor little girl. She's doing so much better now. Still very nervous and timid but she loves to sit in our laps and sleep in our bed! Potty training is becoming quite a challenge! LOL

What a small world!!!!!!! We all have to get together!!!!!!! I don't know if i spelled Adobes's right but it is in GJ. and is the least expensive for dentals, also group discounts, and senior discounts. is also in Grand Junction, and Suzette is a great Vet, and give's discounts for the above.

I am soooooooooo glad you also use Dr. Marquis (Bob) he is the best, but also the most expensive, but you know your pets will surive the surgery and it will be done right!!!!! I just have used him for the last 12 years, he saved the lives of 2 of my yorkies that got food poisioning, he is my hero, and i never have to worry when a pet of mine is in his care. He is just the very best Vet in the state of Colorado!!!!!!
I am so glad you also use him. I will be their on the 12 th to neuter 6 of my males, 49.00 each!!!!!! I will than do all my tiny girls, as he is the only one in the world i would trust with a 3 lb. dog. I have all the confidence in the world with him. I am so glad you also use him!!! We will have to get together sometime, maybe on the 12th as i have to spend the day in Grand Junction!!! .

You two are the best
 

I used to work in Va with Pets 4 U rescue and I saw alot of things which caused my husband and I to adopt only rescued babies our last rescue was with a year and a half old Rotten Rottie he was a whopping 45 lbs when we got him we had moved to Maryland due to Military from Florida and got a call from a lady in florida who told us about this lil boy needless to say today he is in NC weighing in at 96 lbs and doing good, we couldnt keep him ourselves due to my health I can not do big babies any more just little ones which is why I got Nina my heaven sent baby girl she is 5 months old and weighing in at 5 1/2 lbs the vet told me she will be a big girl.
do you guys take donations for the babies? please email me and let me know I can't do monies right now due to a move coming up next week and its only my husband working right now but I do want to help in the future if possible.
Please post pictures of this little girl getting better .. I sat and cried when I read this which hubby is upset at me because due to my heart and cancer he doesnt like me upset.
God Bless you both and all who rescues for the love of it not the greed of it.


Dionna and Nina...

Yes it is, you can only get it from your Vet, and he would want to check out the dog first to make sure it is ring worm. The test sometimes takes over two weeks, and they also have a red light, I think that they run over the spot to detect it eariler. It is a leave on lotion, and heals ring worm in no time. Do not use Malaseb Shampoo, or Resizole for young puppies, it can kill them. Young is 4 to 12 weeks, I can't remember, you would need to check with your vet. Please know how glad i am she is doing so much better. I bet she is nervous, these poor little ones do not do well without their owners to love them, sounds like she is really getting the Royal Treatment. Potty training is always a challenge with these little ones. YOU might have to put a diaper on her, while you are not able to watch her every move. Were you able to ask Bob if it could possibly be ring worm? I am so worried that it may be, I would sleep sooooo much better if I knew what was going on with her little foot, and was assured that it is not..
