Success stories

  • Apollo

    Apollo

    While out taking Old Man Simon out for a walk, we came across this poor creature crawling down the sidewalk trying to get anyone to help him. He was mangey, bone thin but the sweetest thing imaginable! With two young girls help, I got him home where he did nothing but sleep for the first 24 hours. After xrays, it was discovered Apollo had a fractured hip. Thankfully for Apollo, it didnt require surgery to heal. Crate rest, minimal exercise, bi weekly treatment for sarcoptic mange, lots of love and food! In no time, Apollo was healthy, happy and on his way to find his home through one of our rescue partners in Canada. Apollo is one heck of a happy dog with his very own family!

    Escoba

    Escoba! Oh what to say about Escoba! Escoba was my first sarcoptic mange case. I had always dealt with demodex, and wow… what a relief it is to learn that sarcoptic mange is a LOT easier to cure! Excellent news for Escoba because she had one of the worst cases Ive ever seen. She was bone thin from ehrlichia. Was covered in scabs and mites. The only hair left on her body was what little was left around her face, ears and head. She was not a happy, cuddly, or social dog when she first arrived. Within a couple of weeks, the mites were dying off, her scabs were gone, she had signs of hair growing back here n there.. she gained weight and became one of the best transitions I ever been blessed to witness. She came out like a butterly from a cocoon. She was a short little thing with a huge heart and loved to run and play. Escoba now has an amazing family who loves her to bits in Toronto, Ontario Canada. She has very good reasons for being such a happy dog. She will never, ever end up getting tossed out like this ever again!

Reggie is officially a Canadian!

Reggie became a Canadian yesterday!  All thanks to two amazing guys, Rob and Nelson, who volunteered to escort 3 dogs yesterday to Toronto.  3 organizations were able to each get a dog out to a better life and make life saving space to save another.  It was so bitter sweet saying good bye to my sweet, sweet boy Reggie but knowing what an amazing life he is going to have… makes it easier to let go.  Reggie was one of those special dogs with a personality that just sweeps you away.  He loves to hug, is so laid back and happy-go-lucky.  He got along with everything and everyone he ever met.  Best of luck to you Reggie!  I know you are going to find the PERFECT home thanks to my amazing rescue partners Save Our Scruff.  I will see you again!  Momma loves you always!

If you are travelling to Cancun, please consider being a flight parent!  It does not cost you anything and it only takes a few minutes extra of your time.  You can email me at info@allpetsdeservevets.org  You can also get more infomation by going Here and Here !

If you are asking yourself why do we export – that answer can be found here.

Here are photos with Reggie’s before and after’s, as well as my sweet boy warm and cozy in Toronto!

Celebration and Contest TIME!

I am finally finished the website editing (I do still have a few success stories to fill in) but otherwise, I am SO HAPPY and GRATEFUL for the new website! 

It looks AMAZING. Heidi A great friend of mine, did ALL this work in such a short time I am blown away!  You can find her info at the very bottom of the home page.  If you need a website, she is your woman!  It has all the info you could need about our projects, our animals, volunteering… if there is anything you think I should add please let me know! 

There are so many things being worked on right now to prepare for the mobile clinic!  As I write this, I am making up pamphlets for adults on basic dog care, simple signs to know when your animal needs help and of course, HOW to get that help! 

It will talk about the importance of spaying and neutering, common illnesses and what the signs and symptoms are, preventing diseases and simple cures for things like fungus and yeast infections.  I cannot wait to get this pamphlet into the hands of the people! 

Basic things will help them better help their pets and keep their animals healthy and happy for years to come!  When the animals are healthy, they are a lot less likely to get dumped in the streets.  image

Age: 5 months

Colour:  Black and Tan

Description: Short stubby legs with gigantic paws

Personality:  SWEET and playful!

Fur: Wire haired rough coat, yet sleek and it SHINES!

His Story: This pup was brought to me only 2 or 3 days after Christmas by caring members of the community. They found him alone and scared in the street. At first, we thought he may be lost, so they were going to ask around if anyone had lost their puppy, and they did!  But no one claimed to own him.

After he got a good meal in him and started pooping… I knew he was a Christmas present gone wrong. For 2 days he pooped diaper jelly. That’s right, he ate baby diapers. Gross, right? Not to these dogs… I still waited for 2 weeks… now almost 2 months and no one has come claim him so he is now a part of “All Pets Deserve Vets” and will be placed for adoption soon!

This is why pets given as presents is a BAD idea! He didn’t know he was doing anything wrong… he just knew he wanted to eat diapers and probably made a big mess doing it.  I am grateful he was brought here because ANYTHING horrible could have happened to this happy guy on the street. 

Don’t forget! Participants CAN enter more than once! There is no limit! Just remember to include all your name choices in the comments section so they can be included in the voting survey.

Example: Jane Doe sends $25 and gets 5 name choices! It not only helps the project, but also increases your chances of winning and naming this adorable pup!

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE and remember to follow the page! Our 50% share of the donations will go towards the registration fees of “All Pets Deserve Vets” here in Mexico so we can be one step closer to getting the mobile outreach program on its feet!! There is a LOT of exciting stuff coming up soon and I CAN’T wait to share it all!! Thank you in advance for all your support and remember to… SHARE SHARE SHARE!!!!

Kris

I have to show this little guy Kris! He is ADORABLE, but he does not look it in a few of these photos. This poor little dog wandered onto someone’s property and he found his way to me through a good friend. He had a REALLY bad fungal infection which caused him to to lose 90% of his fur and ehrlichia, a common tick borne disease that is fatal without treatment. I wanted to wait to show his after photos, but he already looks so different you may not believe its the same dog! So, here are his photos from the day of his rescue, and his progress photos from 2 weeks ago! In a few weeks when his fur has finished growing fully in, I’ll do the BIG reveal! Keep checking back for his final reveal and more!!  ♥ ♥

Kris – Maltese mix
Age – 9 months


Kris was very sick and anti social when first arriving. After a few days of good food, baths and meds he has completely turned around is one of the spunkiest pups I’ve met yet!

The BIGGEST and BEST Helper

I could ever ask for is a 5 year old little girl named Katie. She’s a little mini me! From bringing scared pups out of their shells, to training dogs how to be with children… “No jumping” she says, as she wags her finger. I couldn’t have hoped for a better little helper. Every afternoon after school and almost all days on weekends, this little whipper snapper is playing it up with the dogs, teaching them manners, hugging and cuddling them, making beds for them and always making sure they have their share of toys and more. She does not know what a huge impact she has on these animals or how she is preparing them for future success with their forever families – but I do and I have to say..I am one proud mother!

Coral and Pippa Adopted Together!

Coral and Pippa were two sisters that were sent out at two different times to two different rescues last year in the Toronto area. They were both adopted into the same family – different homes. (sister’s family adopted one, brothers family adopted the other) and they still see each other often! I love it!!!! Thank you Almost Home Animal Rescue Team and Save Our Scruff for always finding the perfect homes. How cool is it that these sisters are going to always be life long family!
