Success Story: Bambi

Bambi’s wonderful happy ending rescue story is one of our favorites. We just received her update picture and the transformation is so amazing we knew you’d all want to see. Bambi was saved because of rescuers and foster homes. A special think you to Kyrstin for being her foster home and foster failure adopter. It was your time and effort that made all the difference to this beautiful dog.

RIP Captain

Original Post (Jan 14): Captain just came into TBAR last week and after a week at the vet and a teeth floating he went to his foster home. As you can see he’s in good spirits and eating his alfalfa cube mash but he went down this morning and hasn’t been able to get up. He wants to get up but doesn’t have the strength because he’s so malnourished. Please pray for Captain to get up. We’ve done it before so let’s do it again! The power of prayer and healing is powerful!

Update January 15: We got him up, got him loaded and on the way to the vet. Yes, it’s sad that he was starved and abandoned but thanks to a lot of amazing rescuers this horse is up and on the way to the vet. There are a lot of great people in the world!

Update January 17: Melanie and Lauren spent all day with Captain today! We started feeding him a One n Only mash and going into the evening he started gaining some strength. He was up standing and walking around. He even gave Melanie a One n Only bath. He is not out of the woods yet so prayers are still needed!

Keep praying, Captain has refeeding syndrome http://www.starvinghorses.com/Refeedingsyndrome.html
This syndrome can be fatal but we all know that the power of prayer and the action of rescuers can beat the odds. If you can visit Captain at Brazos Valley Equine Hospital at 6999 Hwy 6 in Navasota, please do. Help feed him some One and Only mash (we left a bag of it there for him) and help him get up on his chest to eat (or find someone to help) They are busy there and might not be able to give him all the individual attention he needs so it’s up to us to make sure he’s getting food regularly and being pushed up on his chest and lifted to stand. The more we go the better his chances are. I’m going after work too. Comment here with a picture if you go see him

Updated January 17: Just got here to sit with Captain. He is resting. Vet said he does this after he eats to rest and digest, and then perks up. Amy and I will sit with him for a few hours. He is not out of the woods yet, but his fighting heart is still beating!! PRAY!!!!!! -Teresa

Updated January 17: Captain lost his battle the morning of January 18, 2017. He died knowing how much we all loved and cared about him. Thank you all for going to see him and for praying for him. The only thing wrong with him was that he had been starved. I pray that together we can end needless suffering like this for all animals and humans too. — at Brazos Valley Equine Hospital.

 

 

19 Puppies Rescued, homes needed!

Puppies, puppies and MORE puppies. This is 6 of 19 puppies that were dumped on the side of the road in a cardboard box. A kind hearted couple took them home and is feeding them but can’t manage for long. 8 are cleaned up and in foster homes but there are still 11 that need help. If you can temporarily foster a few puppies email [email protected] and let us know. Once they’re cleaned up and vaccinated we’ll find them homes. If they don’t find homes in Texas we’ll find them placements out of state. They’re adorable so they’ll go fast!
All vet care, including spay / neuter when they’re old enough will be paid for by True Blue Animal Rescue. Please donate to this fund on our facebook page or website.

Safe for Christmas

Merry Christmas from True Blue Animal Rescue. You can see the smile on Cookie’s face as she sits near her babies knowing they are safe and warm for the holiday. It wasn’t long ago that she was abandoned in the woods and left to fend for herself. Her babies will be ready to go to their new homes in another week and then she’ll go up for adoption too. Donations to help us care for dogs like Cookie and her babies can be made from our facebook page, our web site or mailed to True Blue Animal Rescue, PO Box 1107, Brenham, TX 77834.
