As with every hound we pull we pull with confidence in knowing we can securely find fosters for these hounds and that we have enough funds for the hounds to be vetted...but in these hounds cases their medical needs far outweigh the funds HHBR has available right now.<span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>We </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>are desperately needing help to cover these 2 great Seniors & Young Hounds vetting costs!<span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>All photos of these hounds can be seen on their Flickr link at <a href="http://flic.kr/s/aHsjvRMv96">http://flic.kr/s/aHsjvRMv96</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>The shelter in Springfield, MO is probably one of those highest euthanizing rate facilities in southern MO. Until a year ago when rescues finally begged and won the ability to go in and pull dogs from this shelter they were barely able to rescue the minimal amount they wanted to help. Now to say this shelter is crowded is an understatement. They typically place 2-3 dogs in a single dog run, altered</span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'> or not altered, get along or don¡¯t get along...it makes no difference to them. The conditions of the shelter are on the lower end of suitable to even house animals. EACH AND EVERY ANIMAL that comes out of the facility WILL have Kennel Cough--which in a healthy animal takes a week or so of antibiotics to clear--but most animals in there are not healthy and the kennel cough takes weeks to months to clear & sometimes turns into Pneumonia. EACH AND EVERY ANIMAL that comes out of this WILL have intestinal parasites of any or all of the following; whips, hooks, tapes or round worms and other intestinal parasites such as Cocidia &/or Giardia!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>We had a gracious offer from a foster home in MO to foster the Senior Male in there, we now call him Arthur, who was found as a stray. How could we say no to such a generous offer, we all know foster homes for Seniors don't come along that often! But in the anticipation this sweet senior boy won't be in the best medical condition we have an estimate from the vet for $325 which will cover his Neuter, Vaccines, HW test, Blood Work, Dental, etc...if he has a positive HW test this expense will be close to an extra $200.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>When looking at the website we realized there was a middle aged/senior female, we now call Agnes, found in the exact location as Arthur. All though we knew the expense for her medical care will be just as high as Arthurs we just could not leave her behind...& when we watched and watched to see if another rescue might step up for her & didn't we committed to helping her too. Medical costs for Anges will be around the same as Arthurs.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>And then we have sweet Livingston. He was found as a stray in Chillicothe, MO. Since we know no history on this sweet boy, only what our humblest rescue opinions can offer us we are pretty sure he has lived his entire life outside with limited/no medical care. Livingston suffers from a severe eye infection caused by his painful Entropian that has been left untreated his entire life. Entropian is a condition in which the eyelids curl under causing the eye lashes of the lid to continually run against the surface of the eye. Left untreated as Livingston's has infection eventually sets in. Livingston was pulled this past Sat 8/27 and his eyes are worse than we anticipated from photos. His right eye is the main eye affected & is now cloudy & he can still see shadows but is partially blind in that eye. Both eyes have the most pungent smelling thick yellow puss coming from them. Livingston's top eye lids are the affected Entropian lids. He also now has an upper respiratory/kennel cough infection. The costs for his entropian surgery are $300<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><a href="http://hhbr.chipin.com/motrio">http://hhbr.chipin.com/motrio</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'>Donations can be made by the Chipin link--all donations made through ChipIn are directly sent to HHBR's PayPal Address!<br><br>Via PayPal directly to <a href="mailto:admin@houndshavenbassetrescue.com">admin@houndshavenbassetrescue.com</a> or sent via snail mail to:<br><br>Hounds Haven Basset Rescue<br><br>305 N 15th St<br><br>Indianola, IA 50125<br><br>We thank you in advance for becoming one of Arthur's, Agnes's & Livingston's Angels! <br><br>If you have any questions please feel free to contact us at <a href="mailto:admin@houndshavenbassetrescue.com">admin@houndshavenbassetrescue.com</a> <br><br><a href="http://www.houndshavenbassetrescue.com">www.houndshavenbassetrescue.com</a> <br>The HHBR Crew<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
