Meet Scruffles

Scruffles was pulled from a nearby shelter after he was found matted and wandering on his own. Scruffles is a neutered male poodle mix who is about six years old. Scruffles loves being held and loves being with people and has a little bit of anxiety when he?s apart. His anxiety consists of whining. Scruffles would do better with a family where someone is home much of that time. Scruffles will need regular grooming.

Last week we were asked to take a senior lab from one of our partner shelters. We had met Fern during a shelter visit a few weeks ago so when we were called, we said yes with no hesitation. But taking in Fern hasn’t been without concerns or expense. You see Fern, being an elderly lady, has lost most of her hearing. She also has two masses on her, which will be checked later this week to see if we are dealing with cancer or lipomas. Or if it’s one of each. And Fern is heartworm positive, which complicates everything. We are not even sure what to deal with first. This is what we do know. Fern is a sweet old lady who despite having masses and heartworms, also has a heart full of love to give. She can’t hear you speak loving words to her but she knows what you’re saying by the wag of her tail. Fern’s treatment will be expensive. But even more important than her treatment is her comfort. We will be working with the vets to determine how to best treat Fern and make the time she has left as comfortable as possible. If anyone would like to open his/her home to this sweet girl, please email us at info@sparkyrescue.com. We are also collecting donations to help with her medical care. Thanks in advance for giving and sharing.
