Just wanted to give you an update of the OAS dogs our rescue received from the AZ location on Jan 4th. We saved the 4 American Eskimo/pommie mixes that came from Kennewick Puppy Mill in WA in May 2009 (Jackson, Joseph, Frances, Chester) plus one ??eskie/papillion?? mix named Goofy.
We have a facebook page set up for the 5 survivors we picked up, and my region has one of them (though still keeping his exact foster location private for obvious safety concerns). https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Arizona-5/1445778852301768
These pics are of one of the dogs with urgent medical needs. He had a large cyst hanging from his rear end. First picture was taken in AZ at RUFFF. The next one is of his bottom the next day during a bath and after some "Extreme Makeover Rescue Edition". The next week, we had that cyst removed, dental (with one extraction), and his eyes looked at. He is the dog in the OAS warehouse pics of him looking at a huge chunk of meat in his cage.
He can now walk really well on a leash and only occasionally eats his fecal matter (hurray for the baby steps)! He only releases his glands sometimes when I pick him up, so that is a big improvement too! His vision is poor but able to see most shapes and shadows. Loves to play with other foster dogs, and is very fond of one that is just 10 lbs who has been showing him how to play with toys. Still not adoptable yet but he's coming around. Several years at the puppy mill and 4 years at the warehouse won't go away in just 5 months. He is making strides, thanks to your efforts. He and his 4 buddies are making great improvements.
