A portion of the proceeds of Rescue Bows sales went to help Lily, the most lovable Dachshund you could ever meet.
Two days after Buster was adopted I received an email about Lily, a 2 year old Dachshund who had tested heart worm positive. This little 10lbs bundle of love is impossible not to love! Unfortunately for Lily treating heartworms can be very expensive, and to make matters worse the company that produces the drug that treats this disease recently had to temporarily stop production of the drug.
I immediately started sending urgent requests to fellow rescuers about Lilys need and asked that anyone knowing of a clinic with the necessary drug inform me immediately. As luck would have it the clinic the SPCA uses frequently actually had some!
Lily started her treatment the next day, which is followed by 30 days of crate rest, another treatment and an additional 30 days of crate rest. Through it all Lily has remained as sweet and happy as the day she arrived. Her favorite activities are cuddling on the couch and doing a happy dance for a treat.

Lilys collar is a special order just for her! It is a black collar with ribbon that has little Dachshunds on it!

August 2011

A portion of the proceeds of Rescue Bows sales went to help Lucky, a very lucky but very sick Pit Bull.
In July a fellow animal rescuer found a gorgeous teenage male pit bull that looked emaciated, and was limping. After 2 xrays and 3 different opinions he was scheduled for surgery to have a suspected forgien body removed from his stomach. Only problem is that when he was opened up there was nothing there. Lucky was quite the mystery dog! After he was stitched back up he did seem to hold food down better. Now he just needed to put on weight so he could have his dislocated hip repaired. He also had a problem with his eye that needed to be repaired surgically.

Through all this Lucky is the happiest dog you could ever meet. He goes through life with a big smile and just wiggles his way into everyones heart! He is a typical goofy teenager who loves to play with his other canine friends, and give big slobbery kisses to everyone he meets! 

Lucky's Collar  has shamrocks because he is such a lucky boy!

July Rescue Bows Donation

July seemed to come and go very quickly! Busters leg has healed extremely well. Unfortunatley in the interim he developed Demodex, which often happens with puppies that have compromised immune systems. He is currently being treated and will be good as new soon. This little guy is over 30 lbs now! He is a total love and gets lots of attention everywhere he goes!

In honor of Buster I also have a new collar up for sale- a baseball collar!
