Please Help Us Save Little Willie July 22, 2010
We
were contacted by the Sheriff's Department late last evening to
help a little mini horse who was found on the side of the rode
just minutes from our Rescue Facility. When we arrived what we
found was truly heartbreaking. This little angel was struggling
to walk down a busy Hwy. His hooves are some of the worst we
have ever seen.
Although
he could not walk without a struggle and he was very afraid he
gave us no struggle when we put a halter on him and loaded him
into our horse trailer to take him to safety.
We would
like to thank the Sheriff's Department for calling on us to help
this little mini. They were wonderful and gentle with him and
did an incredible job keeping him safe and off of the busy
highway until we arrived.
Willie is with us now &
recovering. The road ahead is going to be a long one to get his
hooves to the point that he can walk without struggling. But we
are hopeful that he can recover. Our farrier estimates he will
need to make several visits to work on his Willie's hooves over
the next year. Each trip to work on his hooves will cost $40.00
per visit due to the condition of his hooves. This is a long
process.
We
will also need to have him Vet checked, he will need all of his
shots and he will also need his teeth floated ASAP. Willie
appears to be about 20 years old. This size of horse can live
into his 30's with the proper care. And that is what we are
hoping will happen with our Willie.
We are in need of
donations for the care of his feet over the next year, his Vet
care and to have his teeth floated. Please reach deep into your
pockets and any amount you can spare would be greatly
appreciated. Willie must also be on just good brome hay. We were
told to limit his grass due to his lameness. So we will need to
provide this for Willie also on a daily basis. He will need to
be in a safe and secure area until he is healed and able to run
and play again with the other horses at our facility. We are
trying to erect a small lean to shelter him through the rest of
the summer & into winter. So any donations will also be used to
provide this for him. Donations can be made directly through our
website using Paypal or mailed to our Rescue Facility address
listed above. Please mark your donations, Willie.
There
are so many others like Willie out there suffering. Each day we
do our best to offer our services, provide education and give
those like Willie a safe place to go to heal. So please know
without your help we could not continue saving those who have no
voice of their own. We thank you as always for your continued
support & kindness.
This is Willie. He is a sweetheart
and did not deserve to end up like this. He loves attention and
even though he has suffered severe neglect he still trust
people. He is a beautiful little guy who we are so happy we were
called to help him.

This
is Molly. She is a mixed breed hound under (2) years
old. She came to Hooves & Paws Rescue with a broken
leg in three places. Molly was also very thin when
she arrived. This is the first picture we received
of Molly with her cast on. The person who had Molly
could no longer care for her so we were asked to
take Molly and give her the medical care she needed.
Upon arrival our Vet told us that Molly had no
feeling or movement in this leg and advised us to
remove the leg. Molly is in foster care at this time
healing inside and out. She is very shy at this
time. She does not like being left alone. She gets
along with other dogs and loves attention. Molly is
doing very well with three legs. Molly is in need of
a sponsor to help cover the cost of removing her leg
and also her medical cost until the leg that was
removed is healed and the stitches are removed. Once
Molly is healed she will be ready for adoption.
February 2010 Molly is looking for a monthly
sponsor. Molly's surgery to remove her leg was $550.00. She also
spent two weeks at our trainer to help make her more adoptable.
So, the cost for her care since she arrived at our Rescue is at
$750.00. Donations for Molly to date have only reached $200.00.
If you can't make a monthly donation please consider a one time
donation toward Molly's care.
Molly has had her surgery to have her leg removed and she is
doing well. She gets around just fine with three legs. She has
spent (2) weeks with our trainer working on basic commands. She
is in a foster home at this time waiting for a forever home.
Molly gets along with other dog's, we are not sure about cats?
She will need as with all our adoptions a secure fenced yard to
run and play in. Molly loves to be outside to run & play!!!
Molly does need to be in a crate while you are away as although
she is poddy trained she does tend to get into things when she
is left alone. She is a really nice girl who deserves a chance
to have a family to call her own.

Frannie
Crossed Over Rainbow Bridge in Genea's arms.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jessie
is a beautiful 30 year old Appy Gelding that was an Owner
Surrender in December 2009. He has bone to bone arthritis in his
front leg. He is given pain medicine on a regular basis to help
with the pain in this leg. He does walk with a limp and he does
favor this leg. He came in with good weight and he is a typical
Appy. Lot's of cute attitude! Jessie is in need of a monthly
sponsor as he will be a forever resident at Hooves & Paws
Rescue due to his age. Please contact us if you are interested
in sponsoring Jessie. His sponsorship will help with his senior
feed, his medicine, his farrier cost and shelter cost. We
currently have Jessie in the quarantine area as we were out of
space when he arrived. He can't be out with the herd due to his
age.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We would like to update everyone on the progress of
Furst, the blind Rottie that came to our rescue
facility from St. Louis, MO recently.
Furst has had surgery to remove one of his eyes due
to the severe infection in his eyes that caused his
blindness. The Vet who performed the surgery feels
his other eye can stay at this time unless it
becomes infected again and then we will deal with it
at that time. We have also learned that the two
holes on the top of his paws that are the same in
size are from being burned with a cigarette. This
poor dog has had a rough life so far and it is time
for him to start to heal inside & out.
We want to thank all of you that have been involved
with us to help save this wonderful dog.
The Vet who performed the surgery on Furst, Kathy
Johnson, Owner of K-9 Coach Learning Center, L.L.C.
who is fostering Furst and working with Furst on
basic training and doing an incredible job, and
Kelly Trout, with Mid America Rottweiler Rescue,
Director at Large who contacted us to help Furst.
We would also like to thank everyone who has wrote
us and called about Furst. A huge thank you to those
who have donated to help with his medical bills and
training cost which is a must after what he has been
through in his young life.
Without everyone's support we could not continue
helping those like Furst who have no voice of their
own.
Once Furst is healed inside and out he will be ready
for adoption. The forever home that Furst will go to
will need to be a very special home. Furst will need
to be the only dog in your home and no children
under 12 years of age please. We would be happy to
discuss this further with anyone who is interested
in Furst.
We are taking adoption applications on Furst which
can be found on our website under forms. Then we
would like to meet with you, do a home check and set
up a time for you to meet Furst in person.
All donations for Furst, his medical care and
training can be sent to our Rescue / Shelter or made
directly through our website using Pay Pal. Please
mark your donations, For The Care & Training Of
Furst.

Meet
Goober. He is a very special young blind gelding. He was an
Owner Surrender due to his family moving out of state. Goober's
family loved him very much and saved him from an unknown
fate when he was left by his previous Owner in a boarding
facility because of his sudden blindness due to medication which
was put in his eyes incorrectly for a period of time. You truly
learn about love when you meet a horse like Goober. His world
is dark due to his blindness but he heart is full of love. He
and another rescue Little MayBelle who is a very old little mini
horse have become good friends and she and Goober spend their
days together in a special area just for them at the
rescue. Goober is in need of a monthly sponsor.

My
name is Memphis. I am an English Mastiff. I came to Hooves &
Paws Rescue from a bad situation. I was being kept in a van by
my owners. I was beat by my Owners to try and make me mean. But
now I am safe at the rescue. I have a great bed with lots of
cozy blankets and have a big yard to run and play in. I am
looking for a monthly sponsor to help with the cost of my care.
I am a big guy and I should mature to around 200 lbs. Will
you sponsor me?
12/25/09 Update on Memphis. We continue to work with Memphis on
his aggression issues with new people and certain dogs. He is
very hot & cold and can be unpredictable at times. He loves to
play but sometimes he gets a little rough with the other dogs.
We know that the issues that Memphis has is due to the beatings
& neglect that happened with his former Owners. Sometimes
because of this treatment it takes a very long time to forget
what happened to you. He is wonderful with both Bill & I but he
does not like any new people yet. We will continue to work with
Memphis and our hope is that one day he will be ready for
adoption. If this is not possible, Memphis will live his life
out at our Rescue/Shelter and become a forever resident.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Little
MayBelle arrived at the rescue 09/20/08. It was just over
an hour trip back to the rescue from where she was at. She got
right into the trailer when we loaded her. When we arrived at
the rescue she got out and took a look around. The first horses
she saw (on the other side of a fence of course) was Papa River,
Mama Joy and Baby Walter. You can imagine what she thought.
They looked at her and she looked at them like "what in the
world"? I am sure she thought those are the biggest horses I
have ever seen. But she was a trooper. She walked over to the
fence and looked up at them and then turned around and walked
away as if to say thank God there is a tall fence between us.
MayBelle
spent the day helping me clean to barn and just hanging out. She
has her own little stall that Billy built for her inside. She is
shy but she is already starting to come around and let us touch
her. We are very thankful she is at the rescue.
We
want to thank those who are sponsoring MayBelle monthly. We will be
using some of the sponsorship fees to have her teeth floated. MayBelle's
teeth are in very bad shape. When we opened her mouth to look at
her teeth she had a lot of swelling & a few teeth broke and some
missing. When we contacted the Vet today that had seen MayBelle
prior to coming to the rescue he confirmed that MayBelle suffered
severe abuse & neglect and she really needed work done on the teeth
but it had never been done due to money issues with the lady who
originally found her in the chicken house. So, we will be having
this taken care. I am sure she is in pain with these teeth like
this. So, again thanks to her sponsors we will be able to make this
little girl more comfortable for her final years. Due to her age,
MayBelle will be a forever resident at our rescue facility.
We want to thank everyone we pledged a monthly donation to help with
MayBelle's care. We could not have done this without everyone's
help.

December
25, 2009 Blossom is doing very well and her leg is almost perfect.
She is a very active girl and loves to play. Blossom has an adoption
pending. Our hope is that she will be going to NH in the near future
to live with her new family who have a huge love for Bloodhounds.
Blossom is a beautiful girl. This is a recent picture of her resting
in the sunshine.
Update 4/30/09
Blossom our Bloodhound girl is looking for a forever home. Her
leg is healed and she is doing very well. She is a very playful
& sweet girl. She loves her toys. She is very dog friendly but
does not like cats! She is spayed & UTD on all medical
care. Blossom should be part of a family. She is not a
hunting dog and should never be kept in a kennel of any
type. Secure fencing is required as with all of our dog
adoptions. If you can give Blossom a forever loving home please
contact our rescue.
My
Name Is Blossom and I am a Bloodhound. My life started out
pretty rough. I have had two Owners. My last Owner said I fell
on the kitchen floor and hurt my leg. But really I was hit by a
car. They took me and dropped me off at a shelter in Kentucky
because they said they could not afford Vet care to fix my leg.
There were several nice people that seen me and thought I was
worth saving. A nice lady put me on the FOB Boards on the
internet and posted my story and my picture. Hooves & Paws
Rescue saw my picture and called to see how they could help
me. Arrangements were made and I was transported on June 15,
2008 by car from Kentucky to Hooves & Paws Rescue in Glenwwod,
IA. to heal and get the Vet care I need to run and play again
without pain in my leg. Thank you Dee & Mike, From Kentucky
(Brighter Days For Shelters, Caring Hearts) and Denise from MO
(friend of Genea & Bill) for taking me to Hooves & Paws Rescue.
Vet
records stated Blossom was examined on 05/22/08. She has a
broken Tibia & Fibula. So basically, Blossom's back right leg is
broke in two places. Blossom will need to be seen by a Vet to
determine what can be done to repair the leg. If you can donate
towards Blossom's medical cost we would greatly appreciate it.
Donations should be marked "Blossom's Fund". Donations can be
mailed to our rescue facility or made directly through our website.
All donations will be used for Blossom's medical cost and care.
These are pictures of Blossom when she arrived at our rescue June
15, 2008. She is a very sweet girl and we are very happy she is
with us at our rescue. She will be loved and cared for at our
rescue and she will get the Vet care she needs & deserves. Blossom
will not be available for adoption until her leg is healed.
 This
is Tiffany and Dakota. Tiffany was the first person to have
communications with me regarding Blossom. We want to thank
Tiffany for her love for Blossom. Tiffany is a huge hound
lover. She has a wonderful hound named Dakota seen in this
picture. We recently got a care package with toys for Blossom
from Tiffany and Dakota. Thank you both for loving Blossom
enough to help us save her and give her a second chance at a
happy life.
Update
June 17, 2008 Blossom
had her initial check up at our Vet. X-Rays were taken of her leg,
a complete exam was performed and blood was drawn for testing. Our
Vet confirmed that her Tibia & Fibula had been broken previously and
the leg had not been set and should have been. Because of
this the leg has started to heal and it is bowed out. He does not
think it would be a good idea to attempt surgery to straighten &
fix the leg at this time. She will spend another month or so at the
rescue and get some good puppy food and supplements and then she
will be checked again to see how the leg is healing. We will make a
decision at that time what steps we will take regarding her
leg. Although she loves all the dogs at the rescue, Blossom's best
buddy so far seems to be Fast Freddie!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This
is Bubba Hoss. He was an Owner Surrender due to his Owner's
failing health. He will be a forever resident at Hooves & Paws
Rescue at the request of his Owner. Bubba Hoss is looking for a
monthly sponsor. He is an incredible boy with a huge heart. He
is truly a Gentle Giant!

3 PUPPIES
FOUND IN A BOX NEXT TO A DUMPSTER ARE SAFE AT OUR RESCUE
March 26, 2008
When
we arrived home this evening we had several messages on our
answering machine. The first one that we played back was a man
telling us someone he knew was dumping (3) puppies in a dumpster
today and that was the end of the message. The next message
confirmed this. It was a business Owner and he in fact had the
(3) puppies but they were left in a large box next to his
dumpster at his business.
We went right away
to pick the puppies up and they are safe at our rescue. They are
about 8-10 week old puppies; two females & one male. They were very
scared when we picked them up. They are resting now all together.
They are little balls of fur and I am sure they are wondering why
this happened to them. As always, we have no good answer. All we
know is this is not the way to start your life as a little puppy.
Puppies should be loved, hugged and adored.
These
puppies will need to be socialized before adoption. They appear to
have had a rough start from the way they all act when picked up.
One puppy bites at your hands and screams when picked up. The other
puppy gets stiff when picked up. And finally the third just shakes
when picked up.
At
this time we are seeking donations for the care of these puppies.
They will all need their first shots and they will need to see the
Vet ASAP. These little ones will also need puppy chow if anyone is
willing to donate a bag or two.
If you have any
information about who dumped these little puppies please contact our
rescue day or night. Here are some pictures we took of these
precious little puppies. (2) Little Girls & (1) Little Boy. The
picture of the puppies in the box is how they were found.
 Update
3/30/2008
Today the puppies are doing as well as can be expected at this
point. They had their first visit with the Vet Friday evening and
it was very scary for them. Because these puppies are afraid of
people, the Vet trip wore them out.
The Vet checked
them over and found that they were full of worms. We expected this
from the size of their bellies. He also checked their teeth to
estimate their age. He thinks they may be even younger then we
first thought. They
were not given their first puppy shots at this time. He advised us
to wait about a week and bring them back because he thought with
everything they have been through up to this point it would be a lot
to put them through right at this time.
We
were given a special puppy shampoo because we have pulled several
ticks off of them and today we seen more that were showing up. They
have really thick hair and sometimes ticks are hard to find until
they start to swell up. What has made this even harder is that they
don’t really like anyone to touch them just yet. We are very
confident we can help them get over this fear of people. We sat
with them and just talked to them and told them what good puppies
they were. We introduced toys to them. Toys are very new to them;
they were a bit afraid.
 Our
Vet said the little black puppy, which is a girl, appears to have
been abused in some way as she hides her head and crawls to get away
from people.
We were
watching the puppies out the window and our rescued St. Bernard’s
were sitting next to the enclosure we had the puppies in. It was
very interesting. The puppies all were wagging their tails and
putting their little paws out of their enclosure to touch the big
St. Bernard’s. So they are not afraid of other dogs. Even very big
ones! We would like to share with you some pictures we took today of
the puppies. These pictures are priceless!
 Update
4/28/08
Wilma was adopted today, April 27, 2008. She was adopted by Billy's
cousin and my best friend Georgia & her husband Matt. She will have
a wonderful home with their family.

Gordie Needs A
Sponsor-Can You Sponsor This Great Old Guy?
Update 06-28-08 We won't give up on our
Gordie
Our
Old Sweet Gordie was starting to lose weight
recently so we had the Vet out again to re-evaluate
him and see what the problem was. Gordie's teeth
are starting to give him problems. So, we had some
dental work performed to see if that would help our
old guy . He will require more dental work and
floating every (6) months. We are also going to
increase his senior feed and add even more
supplements. He has the best attitude and he
is just a sweet old guy. He loves his grain! He
has started to pal around with Fever. It's nice to
have a buddy to hang out with! His legs are wrapped
to help with support.
We will continue to do everything to help Gordie
enjoy the time he has left. He is a very special
old guy.
 Thursday,
September 20th--We are very sad to report that we were
informed by our Vet today that Gordy is in the advanced stages
of testicle cancer and he also has several spots that are also
advanced skin cancer. He will be made as comfortable as possible
for the time that he has left. If anyone would like to visit
Gordy please call us to do so as he loves attention and also
kisses & hugs. We have only had Gordy for a few weeks, he
was an Owner Surrender to our rescue. He is one of the
most gentle horses we have ever met. Gordy was a Roping Horse in
his younger days. I think when Gordy passes over to Rainbow's
Bridge he will take first place in every event.
Sunday, September 30--Well
today was a good day. When you do rescue work this type
of day is very hard. I told myself the hell with a
couple hours work. I wanted to spend a couple
hours with my Gordy. I talked to him and told him
how glad I was that we had a chance to spoil him at the
rescue and how glad I am he came to live out his days
left with us. When we found out from our Vet that he was
about (30) years old we knew our time would be short
together. Then when we found out he had cancer it
just made that time even shorter.
 He
is slowing down more each day. He is still eating
though. He loves his grain and apple treats. But I
know it is not long before we have to let him go. I
brushed him and put oil and cream all over his sore
spots today. He closed his eyes and just stood
there with his head in my hands as if to say, Thank
you. He knows he is close to the end. I can see it
in his old eyes. His legs are getting weaker when
he walks. But his spirt is strong. When I
call him he walks right up to me. He has been here
such a short time it just does not seem fair. I
wanted to be able to show him how pretty it is at the
rescue during the winter. The trees with snow on
them, the horses running and playing in the snow.
I had hoped we could stand together in the barn and look
out the door and watch the snow fall. But we were told
it would be best to put him to rest before the winter as
the winter would be to hard on him. I believe he will
let me know when the time is right and he is ready.
I will wait for that day and I will let him go when he
tells me it is time.

 On
April 2, 2007 we rescued 3 abused and neglected Percheron Horses at
a Council Bluffs, IA residence and brought them to our rescue
facility.
Action 3 News KMTV followed us in for coverage of the rescue and
aired it that evening.
There is Joy a 10 year old Mare, River a five year old Gelding and
Walter a one year old stud colt. These horses had not had medical
care of any type it appears for a very long time. Their hooves
are very overgrown, cracked and in terrible shape. The mama
mare is 250 – 300 lbs underweight. We have had a Vet out to examine
the horses. The horses were given their shots, however, since
these horses were not touched and loved as they should have been
they are very hard to handle and still need more medical care once
they settle in and understand that they will never again suffer, be
hungry, alone or abused.
That
is the promise we make to each animal that we rescue.
Click here for the first rescue story
from KMTV Action 3 news. Click here to see the story KMTV Action
3 News aired a week later about our recently rescued
Percherons.
In a follow-up story
click here. They desperately need
sponsorship assistance. Won't you
help?
Update
As Of 04/10/07
All of the rescued horses have various
medical issues that we are working on due to their abuse and
neglect. Our rescue is a place to heal and this is our goal
for these wonderful horses. We will update their
progress as time permits. They are safe, eating,
(alot), resting and getting more love than they have ever
known. Apple Treats seem to be their snack of choice.
We will post the information when they are better and
appropriate for adoption.
We
are in desperate need for sponsorship for "Walter". Walter is
the (1) year old rescued Percheron that was brought in April 2,
2007. We noticed he favored his right rear leg when he we brought
into our rescue. We recently had him examined again and found
that the tendons in his right rear knee is detached causing the knee
cap to move in an unnatural position when he walks. We
were advised after speaking with our Vet that he must be operated on
ASAP or he may suffer permanent damage which could shorten his life
span and cause him considerable pain. This is a major
operation that this little guy will undergo and he will have many
months of recovery. We will also need a volunteer during the day to
help us with Walter's care. If you are available anytime
during the daytime Monday through Friday please contact us. We
were very sad to hear this news about Walter as he is a
sweetheart. Please consider sponsoring Walter!
Update
on Walter
Walter has had his operation. He was a brave boy
during the whole operation. He was put under just enough to keep him
still. He is doing very well. The Vet is very pleased with
his progress. We are, needless to say, very relieved that the
operation is over and that it went so well.
We would like to thank everyone who sent donations for
Walter's operation. We would also like to thank our Vet for
doing such a wonderful job and caring so much about our Walter.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 "Ted", formerly known as "Brownie", is a registered Morgan
that was donated to our lesson program from a wonderful family who
own Carriage Hill Farms. We hope to use Ted for children's
therapy and lessons. He is a "6" year old with a lot of love
to give.
We are asking
for donations for the medical care of "Ted". At a recent Vet
visit we learned that his pelvis may have been previously
broken. Previous to Ted being donated to our rescue he did
have an incidence when he was at the trainer and he somehow
caught his back hoof in his halter while scratching his head.
He was found in that position. >From that point forward
Ted had a slight limp. We were not concerned as we felt we
may be able to give him some time with a physical therapist that
has donated her time to our rescue.
However,
after a few sessions it appears that it may take some other
actions. So we would like to take this special guy to get some
x-rays and have a specialist look at him. Iowa State was
recommended to us by our Vet for this type of injury. The
cost to have Ted put under for the X-Rays, the actual X-Rays and
the Vet cost will run in the neighborhood of $900.00. Any
donations toward his medical care and rehabilitation would be
greatly appreciated. We want Ted to feel as healthy as
possible and as pain free as possible. We have a little
girl that has fallen in love with Ted that volunteers at our
rescue and she plans on showing him in a halter class. So
his recovery is very important to the rescue as well a this
special little girl as someday she would love to ride Ted.
But for now she is content to just walk him on a lend which
tells you just how special Ted is to this little girl. If you
would like to sponsor Ted please note that on your donation.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sophia
Lynn, My Owners surrendered me as they thought I was to big and to
much work. I was kept on a chain my whole life. Now I have
a tall fence and "no more chain around my neck". I had a eye
infection that was not taken care of. My new parents at
the rescue are getting my eye operated on to fix it. I may
need two surgery's and the vet is not sure that I will not be
blind due to this.
We are sad to report that
Sophia has had a set back. She will have another
surgery Tuesday February 6, 2007. Her stitches did not
hold as we had hoped in her eye. Sophia will need
to be boarded at the Vet so that they can closely watch
her eye after the surgery and try to control the
bleeding in the area.
Sophia
after her surgery. We are asking for donations at this time to help
with the medical bills which will include the cost of another more
complicated surgery and the cost to board Sophia for (10) days.
Please sponsor me to help pay for my vet bills. I am just (1) year
old and I have my whole life ahead of me.
We want to thank the Glenwood Vet Clinic for the for
trying so hard to save Sophia's eye.

My abusers poured acid on my head when I was naughty and
chewed things. Then they kicked me until the fur
was gone on my side. I still don't like to be
petted on my side as it scares me. I did not know what
a toy was till I came to the rescue. Now I have a
toy box with lots of toys.

I came from a kill shelter. My abusers used me for
a breeding dog and I was a throw in (bait) for dog
fights. I had my collar embedded in my neck and I was
full of hook worms.

My
abusers did not take me to the vet when my eye became
infected. They put medicine that was to be used
for people in my eye and covered it with a patch.
They forgot "they said" to remove it for several months.

were not taken care of.
