Puppies and puppies  E-mail
Sunday, 22 January 2012 21:05
We've been busy, busy! we've had five litters through here in the last few months and currently have two in residence. An outbreak of kennel cough posed a serious challenge for one litter but the two ones here now are on antibiotics and appear to be doing well. One litter has a Black Lab/Border Collie sort of 35pound momma and the other is a Basset or Bagel momma.
  Graveling a small area just outside the Maternity Ward has given us a place that can be thoroughly bleached and is safe for the mommas to get some outside time. They LOVE it. We also tried painting the floor with a great commercial epoxy product and it looked wonderful for about two weeks. Then the pups arrived. It's now palinting and flaking and will have to be repaired.  We'll probably go with a linoleum of some sort. It's only around 180 square feet and will run around $500 installed.
More on the puppies!

Finally, things may be slowing down! In the last month, ARI has played host to TWO litters of pups and their moms (8 pups in each litter!), six small dogs headed for Canada from Young Williams, four or five Bassets and a few assorted dogs just passing through. One litter left last week. The Canadian Six just got their Interstate Health Certificate today and will be leaving on Saturday. The remaining litter (now weaned!) should be leaving around the 15th.

Folks have been asking us what we need most around here.  Here's a partial list:

Programs Rescues Should Sign Up For  E-mail

Yeah, I know it ends with a preposition -- just live with it for a moment, would ya?

I was doing a little research for a book I'm working on -- it's for and about rescues -- and I thought I'd list out a few basics from time to time, maybe for stuff you've been meaning to do but haven't gotten around to doing yet. Some of these are pretty obvious -- petfinder.com, for instance. Others, maybe not so much. But look into some of these affiliate programs. By posting a banner on your website, you may be able to generate some additional passive income for your group. In particular, all you 501(c)3 groups ought to be signed up for a car donation program. Doesn't cost you anything but can bring in a tidy sum if someone desides to donate. That's the kind of fundraising I like!

I'll post some more links later on, but here's a starter set.

Basset Pups Rescued from Arkansas Floods  E-mail
As the flood waters rose, a Good Samaritan in Arkansas contacted BellyRubs Basset Rescue. Two stray Basset Hounds, one clearly quite pregnant, had taken up residence in her flooding yard. She and her family were struggling to get what they could out of the reach of the rising river and trying to keep the strays safe -- but the water kept rising.

BellyRubs contacted us: can you take them? We said yes.

A BellyRubs volunteer immediately drove from Memphis to AR to get the pair and got them to the vet. The next night, as the raging river swept away the nest she'd been working on in the yard, the momma dog gave birth to nine pups. They're all marked like the handsome Basset she is traveling with.

The pups are now six days old and thriving. Mom and Dad, now named Bonnie and Clyde, are starting to put on weight as well. Unfortunately, both are heartworm positive and will undergo treatment after they're in good shape and the pups are weaned.

This is why we built the Maternity Ward: to save innocent lives like these.

altWe're just hours away from 15 dogs arriving to overnight. Most of them will be continuing on to Northern rescues. Seven half-Basset six-week-old puppies will be going from here to Vicki Morgan to head north. Not to worry -- ABBR will be placing their Basset mom in a great home! They were able to pull her from a kill shelter because Vicki agreed to help get the pups to a rescue.

Here they are right after they were born and here they are today.  Momma is clearly a Basset and Poppa was a rolling stone. Wherever he left his -- oh, well, finish singing it on your own.  Also inbound: four 7-week-old bully mix pups, a pit mix, a Chihuahuahuahua and something else, I think.

Stopping for a moment to catch my breath and celebrate spring! Wow, the dogs who've been through here in just the last few months! Just off the top of my head:

  • Five Great Dane mix puppies belonging to Majestic Giants. And their best buddy, Elsa the Redbone/Dane mix!
  • Four Catahoula Louisiana Leopard Dogs, headed off to become Yankees.
  • Two little brindle mix pups, probably Plott Hound mixes, who are now Canadians thanks to CK Rescues!
  • Big ol' Samson, a Collie/Great Pyr perhaps, now also a Canadian.
  • A little Chocolate Lab girl who's here for HW treatment. She's headed north to CK Rescues as well.
  • Little Lola, the Boston Terrier mix, adopted out by a FL group then dumped in a TN shelter when her owner became disabled. Thanks to her microchip, she was able to get back to her rescue group and has already been rehomed with a great family!

(Sounds like we ought to be singing The Twelve Days of Christmas, but we're missing a 'three')

Plus the usual assortment of Airedales, Bassets, mixes of all of the above, and a few Bullmastiffs as well!


Ella Grace Basset and her pups!We're also committed to placing a litter of Basset mixes when they're old enough to be weaned. Eight precious little lowrider souls who are already scheduled to head North once they're vaccinated and weaned. This couldn't have happened without the cooperation of Monro County Animal Shelter in TN and Alabama Bloodhound and Basset Rescue, who will be place the Momma Dog.
