BUTR Needs Our Help

THAT WAS QUICK!! GLORIA AND ANTHONY – THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DONATING THE ENTIRE COST OF BUTR’S CART!! WE HAVE PLACED THE ORDER AND BUTR WILL HAVE HIS CART IN APPROXIMATELY 10 DAYS!

NOW ALL WE NEED IS THE FUNDS TO GET BUTR’S CONSULTATIONS COVERED AT CANWEST…..

Butr is an English Mastiff who is only 9 months old, and already he has to face challenges that do not usually happen in puppyhood. He is so full of life and so desperately wants to get up and play, fetch, run, and do all the normal puppy activities, it is obvious that he gets upset sometimes about his lack of mobility. But he has a great spirit, the kind that can make miracles happen.

His parents are so committed to Butr and for the last month have been reaching out for help. We went to visit Butr and his mom, Kim last night, and spent a few hours with them. Our hearts went out for both Butr and his parents, we recognize that everybody needs help sometimes.

We truly feel in our hearts and from the experience we have had working in Veterinary Clinics and in Rescue, that Butr has a chance to live out his life. But we need to move quickly before his muscles atrophy.

We would like to help and are asking again for the pet lovers community to pull together and give Butr a chance. We need to raise $800 for a full support mobility cart, to be built at K9 Carts West. Yuana has already taken all the measurements needed, and now we need to place an order, but first we need the funds to pay for the cart.

We have also decided to help by having Butr looked at by a specialist or 2 at Can West Veterinary Specialists. To start, we need funds for the consultation, generally running from $160 – $300 depending on how much time they will need to spend on him.

To make a donation – please send a cheque or money order to:

Dhana Metta Rescue Society, #235 – 2607 Kingsway, Vancouver, BC, V5R 5H4 and be sure to mark it as BUTR’S CART FUND…

Or to make a direct deposit, please email us at dhanametta@yahoo.ca for the account number.

CHEWIE – ADOPTED

Chewie’s true personality has come out now that he is without his sister Mocha (aka Mary). He is a real cuddle bunny and is a lazy guy. He just wants to sit around all day and do nothing but nothing. He plays for a bit with the other dogs, but would really rather be sitting under a tree in the shade just watching.

Chewie

If you feel that Chew Meister would be a perfect match – contact us for an adoption application at dhanametta@yahoo.ca, a home visit is also mandatory prior to approval.

Speedy – (aka MOJO) ADOPTED

UPDATE AUGUST 14, 2008

Speedy now MOJO has gotten his chance to go visit The Fox and Her Hounds, for a little manner training and rehab. He is doing so well with the rest of the pack and is really enjoying himself.

Speedy

He has a quirky personality, and is a cool Mojo…..he loves the girls, and even loves the boys….

Speedy & Chewie

Speedy aka Mojo’s hair has grown in a bit now, so he looks a ton better. He is a great dog looking for someone to hang out with, but he really doesn’t groove on being coddled like a baby. So if your personality suits Mojo’s personality, give us a shout and we will send you an adoption application.

Tuna, Spud and Daisy (Daisy and Spud Adopted)

This happy 3 pack are going to be sad…. but with the right forever families, they will find happiness again. Due to a divorce and relocation of their mommy, they must find new homes, with new people, who will love them, spoil them, and be patient with them….Just like their mom has done their entire lives.

TUNA AND SPUD

Tuna is a female and Spud is a male, brother and sister, 5 years old, both fixed, vaccinated and very well taken care of. They know their commands, Spud is more of a dominant personality, and Tuna is a submissive girl. They are both Purebred Jack Russell Terriers. They would prefer a home with no young children, and are groovy with cats that dig dogs. Their adoption donation will be $275 each.

DAISY – is Tuna & Spud’s biological mom. She lost her front right leg in a car accident many years ago. She gets around very well and it is not a disability for her. She is now 9 years old, spayed and vaccinated. She may eventually need a front wheel cart if her remaining front leg weakens in the future. Daisy’s adoption donation is $150…

DAISY

Never to fret, if Daisy ever needs one of these fabulous carts, her new owners can always contact Yuana, who is also the BC Sales Agent for K9 Carts West….we can have her fitted and off and running in no time. However as we mentioned, she is doing very well as just as she is right now.

If you are interested in adopting any one of these great companions, please email us at dhanametta@yahoo.ca for an adoption application. A home visit will follow. Then we can book appointments for you to meet Tuna, Spud or Daisy. These three do not have to go to a home together, in fact they may thrive separately.
