I'm Rolley, and my buddy's name is Wally. We were found wandering in Junction City, and when no one came to claim us, we were rescued by S.A.R.A. I'm an elderly gent, 12-15 years old and very thin, with a heart murmur & neglected teeth.
On the other hand, as you can see, Wally is rather obese, even though he's only about 8 years old! He has an ear infection, which our kind friends at The Waggin Inn boarding kennel are treating. He also has bad teeth.
S.A.R.A. needs to raise about $300 for each of us, so we can get a full vet exam, blood testing and dental work. Then we will be ready for adoption to special homes!
Any donation you can spare, whether small or large, will be much appreciated, and will go directly to our care. If more is raised than needed, it will be saved for the next "special needs" dog.
THANKS FOR CARING ABOUT ABANDONED OLD DOGS LIKE US!
12/7/2005 Update:
In spite of his serious heart
murmur, Rolley came through his dental surgery with flying colors!
His foster dad Tom (of the pet sitting service "Pets are People
Too") found him a wonderful new home with one of his clients, who
had a place in her heart and home for the elderly guy. He has 3
canine buddies now, and plays with all of them as though he's a much
younger dog!
Wally is presently in a foster home
with another senior Dachshund, a tiny Yorkie, and a large older
Aussie mix, and is getting along great with all of them! His
wonderful new Vet, Dr. Lisa Piccioni, would like him to lose 2
more pounds before his dental surgery, for his own safety (he's
28.5 pounds now), so foster parents Richard & Yolanda have him on
a diet and are taking him on brisk daily walks. He was our
featured dog at the December Adoptathon!
Thanks to everyone who believed
that Rolley & Wally deserved a chance to have happy lives and new
loving homes, even in their senior years, and who generously
donated to their medical fund!
