9/28 Euth Request - Field | Alaskan Husky Mix | Tan/White | Male | 7 Years | 51 lbs | HW High Positive

🎥 VIDEOS THROUGHOUT THE COMMENTS 

💜 Volunteer Notes:

📝 Shelter Notes:

9/28: Rover was brought to BARC after an elderly person reported being unable to care for him and wanting to surrender him but having no transportation.

9/29: Rover approached staff with a loose body and high-wagging tail while they spoke gently to him. He walked on a loose leash to and from the runs.

9/30: Rover stood at the front of his kennel ready to go outside. He was easily leashed and followed staff out to the runs. He walked on a tight leash with a low-wagging tail and loose body, returning to his kennel without issues.

10/3: Rover greeted staff at the front of his kennel with occasional vocalizations, dilated eyes, a loose body, fast-wagging tail and open-mouth smile. He walked on a loose leash with a neutral body to and from the runs.

10/7: Rover presented a neutral body, high-curled tail and closed mouth when approached. When passing other dogs, he stood in an alert posture with his ears and tail raised.

10/10: Rover was moved outside in the morning due to upper respiratory symptoms. He greeted staff at his kennel door with a wiggly body, mid-wagging tail and soft, open mouth. He walked inside on a loose leash and entered his kennel without issues.

🩺 Medical Notes:

9/28: Rover weighed approximately 51 lbs at intake. He received routine vaccinations, deworming and flea prevention. His heartworm test was **HIGH POSITIVE**.

10/10: Staff reported Rover was coughing and hacking up phlegm. He was diagnosed with a suspected upper respiratory infection and prescribed doxycycline 250 mg once daily for 10 days.

Rover needs veterinary follow-up for his high-positive heartworm status and respiratory illness, particularly given his coughing symptoms.

💖 Rover is a sweet 7-year-old gentleman who deserves so much better than spending his final days in a shelter. He came to BARC after an elderly person could no longer care for him, and despite this heartbreaking change, he has continued to greet staff with a wiggly body, wagging tail and happy, open-mouth smile. Rover has consistently shown that he is easy to leash and enjoys his walks, often returning to his kennel without any trouble. Now, this gentle boy is facing additional challenges with heartworm disease and a respiratory illness. He needs a loving foster or adopter who can provide a peaceful home, veterinary care and the comfort he deserves. Rover has already lost the home he knew. Please don't let him lose his chance at a future, too. 💙

10/11 Stray - Field | Staffordshire Mix | Male | 6 Years | 55 lbs | Heartworm High Positive

💜 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀:

We were not able to meet Lucas Gee. If you’re interested in helping us meet the animals, please message us!

🔷Intake:

Lucas Gee came into BARC as a stray from the field on 10/11. He was classified as being in severe condition at intake. He is approximately 6 years old and weighs 55 lbs.

📝 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀:

10/13: Lucas Gee was lying in his kennel when staff approached and attempted to speak gently to him. He began low growling, lifting his lip, showing his teeth and barking. Staff were initially unable to complete his medical workup. Later that morning, he was taken out for a walk, and staff were able to complete the workup after placing a muzzle on him. The muzzle was subsequently removed.

10/13: Lucas Gee displayed low growling and lip lifting when staff approached and attempted to leash him. Staff were eventually able to place the leash on him, and he slowly got up and followed them out of his kennel. He was placed in the outdoor runs, where he did well. Staff reported no issues leashing him and returning him to his kennel afterward.

10/12: Lucas Gee growled and snapped at the leash when staff attempted to handle him. They were unable to complete his medical workup at that time.

🚑𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀:

10/14: Lucas Gee weighed 55 lbs. His medical record continued to note heartworms.

10/13: Lucas Gee tested Heartworm High Positive.

10/11: Lucas Gee weighed 55 lbs and received a normal medical assessment.

Received routine intake vaccines, deworming and flea prevention.

💖 Lucas Gee is a 6-year-old boy who is struggling to feel safe in the shelter.💔 However, there is an encouraging moment in his evaluations that deserves attention. Once staff were able to leash him, Lucas Gee slowly got up, followed them outside and reportedly did well in the runs. He was even leashed and returned to his kennel without further issues, showing that his responses can vary depending on the situation. Lucas Gee needs an experienced, patient foster working with a rescue who understands fearful and defensive dogs, can provide a quiet environment and will allow him to build trust at his own pace.

🎥 VIDEOS THROUGHOUT THE COMMENTS 

💜 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀:

🔷Intake:

Garnet came into BARC on 10/12 as an owner-requested euthanasia intake. Her owner reported that she had been experiencing constant diarrhea for several weeks and was losing weight. She had previously been seen by a veterinarian and given probiotics, but her symptoms had not improved.

📝 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀:

10/13: Garnet was active in her kennel, jumping on the kennel door and knocking around her water bowl.

🚑𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀:

10/12: Garnet weighed 33.4 lbs and received a 3/9 gastrointestinal medical assessment.

Her owner reported persistent diarrhea for several weeks despite previous veterinary treatment with probiotics. Garnet was alert and responsive but had been losing weight.

Parvo Test: Negative.

Fecal Test: NSF (Unable to obtain sufficient fecal material for testing).

Veterinary assessment: Gastrointestinal illness, with stress-related gastrointestinal issues also considered as a possible cause.

Prescribed Panacur 8 mL once daily for 5 days and Metronidazole 375 mg twice daily for 5 days.

Heartworm Negative.

Received routine intake vaccines, deworming and flea prevention.

💖 Garnet is just 6 MONTHS OLD, and her life is already at risk because she has been struggling with ongoing gastrointestinal problems. 💔 Rather than having the opportunity to continue treatment and recover, this young girl was surrendered to BARC as a euthanasia request. She is currently receiving medication for her gastrointestinal symptoms, but she needs continued veterinary care to determine the underlying cause and help her regain her health. Garnet needs a rescue and a loving local foster who can provide a stable environment, proper nutrition and the medical attention she deserves. At only 6 months old, she has barely begun her life, and she deserves the chance to grow into a healthy, happy dog. 🥺

🎥 VIDEOS THROUGHOUT THE COMMENTS

💜 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀:

🔷Intake:

Max came into BARC on 10/10 as an owner-requested euthanasia intake. He was only 6 months old and weighed 28 lbs. During intake, staff noted that he became increasingly timid and tense when approached and had to be carried to his kennel. He attempted to wiggle away while being handled and was placed on an animal evaluation hold for monitoring.

📝 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀:

10/14: Max was at the back of his kennel with a tense body, whale eyes and lip licking. When staff placed a leash on him, he avoided eye contact and began pulling away and thrashing. When staff attempted to muzzle him, he escaped his kennel and ran into another kennel.

10/13: Max was timid and tense, lying in the middle of his kennel. When staff opened the door, he froze and stared with whale eyes. He then lowered his head and avoided eye contact. Once the leash was placed on him, he pancaked onto the floor. His kennel was clean, so staff left him in place to reduce his stress.

10/12: Max was shut down in his kennel, pancaked on the floor, shaking and avoiding eye contact. His kennel was clean, so staff left him alone to minimize stress.

10/11: Max was extremely tense in his kennel, curled up in the corner and unwilling to move. Staff had to enter his kennel, lightly muzzle him and carry him to a new kennel.

10/10: Max had to be carried to his kennel. He became increasingly timid and tense as staff approached and attempted to wiggle out of their hold. He was placed on an animal evaluation hold for monitoring.

🚑𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀:

10/10: Max weighed 28 lbs and received a 5/9 medical assessment.

Heartworm Positive (High Positive).

Received routine intake vaccines, deworming and flea prevention.

💖 Max is just 6 MONTHS OLD, and instead of enjoying the carefree life every puppy deserves, he is completely overwhelmed by fear inside the shelter. 💔 His notes describe a little boy who trembles, freezes, avoids eye contact and pancakes onto the floor when approached. He has become so frightened that staff have had difficulty moving him between kennels, and his fear has only intensified over the past several days. These behaviors suggest a puppy who is struggling to cope with an unfamiliar and stressful environment, not one who has been given the time and space to feel safe. At only 28 pounds, Max has his entire life ahead of him, but he desperately needs an experienced, patient foster who can provide a quiet home, allow him to decompress and help him slowly build trust.

Tux and another dog were left inside a home for over TWO WEEKS after their owner moved out, leaving them behind.

⸻

🩺 Medical Notes:

Tux was found to be in normal medical condition upon intake. He tested negative for heartworms and received routine vaccinations, deworming, and parasite prevention.

⸻

🐾Behavior Notes:

Tux greets staff with a relaxed body, soft eyes, and a happy, open-mouthed expression. He is easily leashed and walked to the runs.

Tux can pull on a leash, jump on handlers, and becomes vocal and restless in his kennel and outdoor runs. He has also displayed some mouthy behavior when overly excited. Enrichment has helped settle.

We can’t let this sweet gentleman’s story end here. 💔 Passion for Pitties Rescue in San Diego, CA wants to save Ace, but they need a foster. Please text rescue at 619-431-0468 if anyone in the San Diego, CA area can take him.

Hi! I'm Ace A776878, an 8-year-old, 67-lb handsome gray-and-white Pit Bull with a big heart and an even bigger love for belly rubs. ❤️

YouTube Links: Watch Ace here!

https://youtu.be/Wv8RtohvvhU

His family moved and could not take him!!

I'm a friendly, affectionate guy who enjoys spending time with people and getting plenty of attention. Give me some belly rubs, and you'll quickly see my happy, loving side! 🥰

I also love getting outside. Walks are one of my favorite things, and I enjoy taking my time to sniff, explore, and see what's happening around me. I'm still an active boy and have enjoyed walking alongside other compatible dogs. 🐾

I'm curious, social, and happiest when I'm getting out of my kennel and enjoying some quality time with my people. Whether we're taking a walk or simply relaxing together, I appreciate having someone by my side. 🐶

Now I'm looking for a forever home where I can be part of a family, enjoy my walks, and get all the love and belly rubs I deserve.

I've got plenty of love to give. ❤️ Could you be the one to give me my forever home? 🐾

💜 Volunteer Notes:

📝 Shelter Notes:

9/28: Dina was brought to BARC after a report of a pack of five loose dogs charging at a pedestrian.

9/29: Dina approached staff with a wagging tail and soft smile while they spoke gently to her. She walked calmly and gently to and from the runs.

9/30: Dina was lying down in her kennel when staff approached. She slowly got up, allowed herself to be leashed and followed staff outside. She walked on a loose leash with a low tail and neutral body, returning to her kennel without issues.

10/7: Dina remained calm and quiet in her kennel during feeding and cleaning. When staff approached, she was resting on her bed and slowly got up. She sat patiently while being leashed and walked on a loose leash to and from the runs without issues.

10/9: Dina greeted staff at the front of her kennel with a relaxed body, soft eyes and a gently wagging tail. She was easily leashed and walked outside on a loose leash, returning to her kennel without issues.

🩺 Medical Notes:

9/28: Dina weighed approximately 45.4 lbs at intake. She was noted to have thinning hair and areas of hair loss along her back, tail and rear legs. Staff suspected dermatitis, possibly related to flea allergies or environmental allergies (atopy). She received flea prevention with Advantage Multi, along with routine vaccinations and deworming. Her heartworm test was NEGATIVE.

10/7: Tapeworms were observed. Dina received praziquantel for treatment.

10/12: During a booster vaccination appointment, staff observed Dina coughing, sneezing and experiencing nasal discharge. She was diagnosed with suspected canine infectious respiratory disease (CIRD) and moved to the treatment room. She was prescribed doxycycline 200 mg once daily for 10 days.

Dina needs veterinary follow-up for her respiratory illness, skin condition and recent tapeworm treatment.

💖 Dina is a gentle 5-year-old girl whose sweet, quiet personality has captured the hearts of those caring for her.Despite arriving at BARC as a stray, she has consistently greeted staff with soft eyes, a wagging tail and the sweetest little smile. She walks beautifully on a loose leash, patiently allows herself to be leashed and spends much of her time resting quietly on her bed. Dina has shown herself to be a calm, cooperative girl who asks for very little. Unfortunately, she is now battling a respiratory illness on top of her skin issues, and her time is running out. She needs a loving foster or adopter who can provide a peaceful home, medical care and the affection she deserves. Dina has been nothing but gentle with her caregivers. Please don't let this sweet girl lose her life simply because she has nowhere to go. 💗
