Dodgers Dream

Dodgers Dream

Update Feb. 18, 2012: Dodger is now walking most of the time. He is still on limited exercise (today a wonderful family arrived and he took a short walk with them on a leash!) His next vet visit is in about a week.  With winds, rain and snow this last week we were all very concerned he would loose some ground on his stability, but he held up! He's doing GREAT!!

Update: January 31, 2012:  Dodger is walking a small amount, very wobbly but is back up on his legs.  Cart running he excells at and can spend up to 3 hours before I chase him down and make him rest!!  He's such a sweet and happy boy - it's hard to believe anyone would give up on him!!  Come on Dodger - we KNOW you will make it!!

 Jan 21, 2012 at 4 a.m.  Our hardworking shelter coordinator was unable to sleep and signed on to check shelter updates.  She found a shelter plea about a basset at Downey shelter, his owner had brought him in due to rear end paralysis and incontinence. The shelter was requesting rescue immediately or they would have to put him to sleep.  

That's how we met Dodger.

Linda Miller immediately rose to the occaision and provided a lift for Dodger, and here he is upon intake. 8 years old and not quite sure what his crime was to be dumped at a shelter.

Dodger has some rear leg movement and deep tissue response. We are in the middle of a storm, which can absolutely cause temporary paralysis.  Thru some hard working detective work, we found his vet and have discovered this is a new situation that was not seen by a vet prior to shelter dump.  That's all now in his past.

Dodger will need lots of therapy, possible surgery, nutritional rehab and a warm cozy place to make his dream come true.  Dodger would like to walk.  Barni at Daphneyland is going to help him do just that!
