More on Popeye

 

Yesterday, Teri and Jen picked up Popeye, from my house! Popeye is the Boston boy from the Boston SPCA who has some sort of neuro condition that causes him to favor turning to the right.

He is 2 years young and just as handsome as can be! He is a strong boy who so far seems to be super friendly (to people at least). It was only with the help of several SNORT transport volunteers that we were able to get him so swiftly.
Anna pulled him Saturday morning and passed him on to Jessica who passed him on to Chrissy who passed him on to Shawn who passed him on to me.

Huge thanks to all of you! We could not have done it without you!
Another huge thanks to Teri and Jen who opened their home to Popeye, without really knowing the severity of his condition.
They will have him checked out and hopefully get a diagnosis as to what is going on.

Pic attached of him in my car. He is super cute!

Here’s an update from Jen and Teri:

This little guy loves to be around people & is curious about our boys. poor little guy was so tired that passed out last night after we got him settled in and I don't think he moved until 6 am until Jen woke him to go out

Just a little update. Popeye is doing so good. He got some rest today and played in the yard and took a walk. He ate good too. We are putting his food up on a higher stool seems to work better for him. Maybe he gets dizzy or something when he hangs it down to eat. He is a little uneasy up steps but nothing to hard to handle. He is a love! Not a typical 2 year old Boston but nice and easy to work with. Saw vet today gave her his paperwork so she can read it and we see him next Monday.
Have a great night.
Jen & Teri

New Foster Dodger

Dodger is only eight months old.  This baby is deaf.  He lived with an elderly couple in the south who advertised him as "free to a good home" on craigslist.  For Pet's Sake Animal Rescue in TN took him (intake date 1/14/13) in and shipped him to Social Tees Rescue in NYC.  Social Tees Rescue called SNORT because they don't keep dogs in foster homes very long and didn't feel comfortable adopting him out. SNORT found a foster home for him but realized that he needed a home familiar with deaf babies.

Janice and Ray Boyer with NEBTR agreed to foster Dodger.  Thanks to the Boyers for providing their love and expertise for this special boy.   He will be in the most caring hands with them and with their experience with deaf dogs he will blossom with their guidance.  He will also have a deaf foster brother in Bubba.  According to Janice, the two already like to bark at each other.

This is another example of rescues working together.  Thanks to all for the great cooperation and communication.

New Fosters Winnie and Cooper

Winnie and Cooper were brought to a vet to be put to sleep, but the kind vet contacted a shelter, where they remained until a NEBTR volunteer discovered them.   They were cold, shivering and terrified in there. It's
freezing outside and this place held a lot of big dogs barking constantly. The boy, Ike, pancaked to the ground when she tried walking him past the cages. The girl, Tina, seemed a bit more at ease.
Their feet were muddy and wet and Ike barked when you walk up to his cage but then turned into a pussy cat when he got away from all the dogs barking.

These two comforted each other while in the shelter, and the NEBTR volunteer knew they had to stay together. 

NEBTR sister group SNORT offered to take both of them in a foster home in Philadelphia, so they are safe and loved now.  Thanks so much SNORT!  Watch for more about these two cuties on their website.  And thanks again for such amazing cooperation. You can read more about them here.
