Meet Ginger and Luke…
Two, four-legged survivors of the heat, rain, and ravages of abandonment in Texas.
Ginger and Grey ares from East Texas that started early in life as an elderly couple's "fur kid, companion”.
But life dealt the elderly folks a cruel hand and left them unable to care for themselves as well as Ginger & Grey. Abandoned,
outside of the dwelling, and on the street. The dogs only lifeline was a helpful woman who could show up periodically to
make sure the faithful tail waggers had some food and water. It didn’t take long before the elements of the East Texas summers
took their toll on the two pups. With no preventatives for flea, tick and heartworms
survival has been harsh at best. The duo are about four years old and fairly docile even though the going’s been tough for them.
Lifesavers: Skylyr’s Passion Rescue, has begun to bring these amazing survivors back to life. They’ve been
given proper nourishment to get back to a normal weight and vetted with current vaccines. HOWEVER, they are both HIGH heartworm positive and
both Ginger & Grey have the deadly heartworm positive attacking their systems.
And now the Third…Luke.
Luke was spotted in Lufkin, Texas. He was wearing a collar with no tags, he had no chip, and was dragging a short leash
(yes, someone abandoned him wearing a leash). It’s unknown where Luke came from, no claim has been made for him.
A local couple found Luke, dog tired and wandering the scorching streets of late summer. They decidedly took him to foster
and keep him from the heat and traffic. Actually, Luke is a pretty amazing pup, about three years estimated age, he’s housebroken,
He follows commands, he's smart, and is beyond lovable (yep, he’s a ‘lover-boy’). Currently, Luke has been tagged
(he has his shots for now) but UNFORTUNATELY, He is in dire need of heartworm treatment as well.
Hopefully, if you’ve come this far, you are asking yourself, “What can I do to help?”
The solution, though very simple, is also costly (in the $1220 range for Ginger and Luke and Grey is now hw negative. Ginger’s trmts start today and Luke will start trmt in a couple of weeks). We know that there are good homes
waiting for each of these happy survivors, but without the treatment they will not be able to get to that next level. We’re asking
for donations, which are tax dedcutible, to help get the medical treatment they so desperately need and keep these brave little souls in the world.
Caring is a gift. With your help, we can get there.
