Yodi originally came to TP from a rescue in Kentucky to train to be an emotional support dog. However, he came with unexpected problems. He is a fear biter and can be very possessive of his human. We are working with him, but even if he doesn't become an ESD, he will always have a home with us.

Chewy

Chewy is only 8 years old but has already experienced severe cruelty. in addition to being starved, he has a dislocated vertebrae most likely from being kicked. Since the injury is old, it cannot be repaired. Although he can walk, he can't jump or wag his tail. He also has difficulty controlling his bladder and bowels. He requires prescription food to prevent urinary problems but still gets blocked occasionally and has to have a catheter.

Kiwi came to us with her mom, Sonoma. They were living with a homeless woman who lived in a chicken coop and could not care for them any longer

Elsie

Elsie is deaf, asthmatic and has an enlarged heart. Because of her medical conditions, she has remained the size of a 6-8 month old kitten. The doctors believe that Elsie has a nasal cancer. The prednisolone she takes for her asthma is the treatment for the cancer. She has already out lived the lifespan predictions of her vets.

Not only did all the animals have respiratory problems but skin infections, allergies and hair loss. He has some behavioral problems as a result of his experience. He was recently diagnosed with canine cognitive dysfunction or dementia. He is on medication to help with that condition.

His skin sloughed off and left permenent scars.

She was recently treated for a severe upper respiratory infection that required confinement and medication.
