Dog in need

[Gina Heitz <brier@oregonsbest.com>]

Hi All,

This just came across another list I am on.  The warning about the
graphic pictures is real, but I personally can not just send this note to
the trash without sharing here with all of you who I know care deeply
about warm fuzzy bodies.  I am not participating in the raffle but
am sending a check directly to help Bailey to Hearts of Gold Rescue in
TX.  All rescues are worth while causes, as you all know Judy and I
try to do our small part here in Oregon when and where we can.  This
puppy though needs us, he needs us all...  If you don't want to go
look at Bailey and want to just trust my word here, here is his story in
short, below Mary' message and link to Hearts Of Gold.

>> Bailey is a young male puppy who was taken to the pound
for euthanasia by the emergency clinic because the owner declined to take
on the responsibility of his medical treatment. He was badly burned and
the medical fees will be considerable. A client of Josey Ranch Pet
Hospital saw Bailey and could not turn his back on the injured puppy so
he bailed him out of the pound and took him to the clinic. His wounds are
healing but the bill is already over $600. It is estimated that the final
bill, with a big discount, will be over $1500. The couple who saved him
want to keep him but need some help with the hospital bill. You can help
by sending a check directly to the clinic or if you would like your
donation to be tax deductible you may send a check to us. In both cases
please note on the check that the donation is for Bailey. <<

On yet a somber but a happier note, you all may recall Rosie who came to
stay with us June 1st as her human mother passed away.  Rosie was
fortunate in that she had a support system in place, her owner had made
sure that she had a home in the event that something happened to her,
something everyone needs to do...  One hitch was that her new home
is in New York, so Rosie came to stay here at Brier for 3 months until
transportation could be arranged for her to go to Teri.  Friday the
29th almost exactly 3 months after her arrival Rosie flew east with
friends of Teri' and is now in her new home very happy and adjusting
well!   Teri will be sending pictures when she finds the time
and I will share with all of you...  

Big hugs,

Gina
