SPECIAL NEEDS BABIES
May
10/21/11 update: May was adopted and is in her forever home doing great, and is very much loved.
May is a 1½ year old 4 to 5 pound little Maltese girl who was abandoned by her owner in a church parking lot. Good Samaritans saw poor little May walking around her crate in the parking lot at about 10 p.m. one night. Once they got a good look at her, they knew she would need extensive medical care. Calls were made, and SCMR was finally contacted by Beth Brock, a vet tech at Riverview Animal Hospital,
asking if we would be willing to take this little girl into rescue.
Of course, SCMR agreed; and she was immediately checked by the vet. The poor little thing has a horrible case of Scabies which is going to take a while to heal since she has open sores and very little hair. Unfortunately, she is also having to be isolated in her foster home since Scabies is so contagious.
Many times rescue and/or individuals are scared of taking in an animal or adopting them when they are in May's condition. We at SCMR are always up for the challenge of caring for these little ones who are in such desperate need. We will keep you updated on May's condition and send updated pictures as we can. Everyone will then see what a little time and love can do for these little ones in need. She will be unrecognizable once she is available for adoption.
If you are interested in adopting May, please complete an application. Don't let her current looks deter you. Once she is healed and gorgeous (which we know she will be), everyone is going to want to adopt this little girl.
Clipper
9/23/2010: Clipper is the sweetest boy imaginable! He just wants to be close to his person all the time. He's 10 years old, around 11lb and needs someone with a big heart because he is a diabetic. All he needs is his special food and 2 little shots a day. His foster mom says he's so easy to take care of. If he gets his little bits of cheese, he doesn't care that he's getting a shot!
Because of Clipper's diabetes, he has to wear a belly band, but he does know to potty on a pee pad inside or go outside. And whenever he goes outside, he will potty...very good boy. Clipper also has advanced cataracts and just sees shadows, but he learns his way around very well. Clipper only wants to please, and he loves to snuggle. In fact, he wants to be your best friend! He's making friends in Chattanooga, TN until his very best friend finds him! Adoption Donation: $75.00
At just 20 weeks old and 3.5 lbs., Savannah was diagnosed with PDA (patient ductus arterious), a heart condition which is correctable with surgery. Thanks to your generous donations to pay for her surgery, our little girl is living large in her forever home.
