Emery loves Lilly and his family

Emery arrived at Red Lake Rosie's Rescue with a serious injury. All Dog Rescue took him in and recently received a note and photos from his family about the adorable little guy.

UPDATE FROM NEW HOME:
We just wanted to give an update on Emery whom we adopted August 7, 2010. He's doing great and we love him!

He loves the backyard except for when Lilly and he get a little loud at times - we're working on it. Lilly accepted Emery almost immediately and they play together very well now, as well as take care of each other.

We all couldn't be happier and Emery feels like he's been with us for years.

Thanks for saving this awesome dog and for the important work you do!

Brave little Emery is healing

UPDATE FROM FOSTER HOME:
Emery is doing pretty good. His foster mom adores him - he is the first dog she has EVER fostered who arrived housetrained -- and she's had a ton of fosters. He's incredibly sweet and social and such a gem. His wound is healing, but he has some other medical issues from prior injuries. We just posted him to our website. He's really a lucky dog to be alive. I'm sure we'll find a perfect home for him. He's a sweetheart who deserves nothing less.

This little guy is Emery, and as you can see from the photos, he was in pretty rough shape when he came to All Dog Rescue. Emery came from the Red Lake reservation where he was found with a terrible, deep, L-shaped gash in his abdomen. It seemed amazing that he survived such a horrible wound, and even more amazing given our vet's best guess as to what caused it was a claw from a wild animal such as a bear or a wildcat of some type. Considering he is such a little guy - around 15 pounds, and about 2-3 years old - he is lucky to be alive after that kind of attack.

Emery has been quickly regaining his health in his foster home, and he has finally healed enough (all of the tubes you see in the photos are long gone) that he is ready to find his forever home. He is such a nice boy that he is sure to be a great companion! He is housebroken, crate trained, walks nicely on a leash, and is super-affectionate - his foster mom says he is a "velcro boy" and loves to be close to her. He is also very playful and gets along nicely with the other young dog in his foster home. He can be a bit barky if he's unhappy so will not be the best fit for an apartment or other shared walls.

Emery is marked as special needs for a couple of reasons. First, while he has come a long way in his recovery, he still does have some healing to do so he needs a family that is willing and able to make sure he gets any follow-up care he might need and is patient while he regains his full health (because of this, he would do best in an adult-only home). Second, he does limp on one of his front legs. X-rays showed that he has some spurs on his ankle that appear to be from an older injury, and he also seems to have a sore shoulder that is likely due to the recent trauma. He is likely to have some arthritis in this leg as he ages, and his new home will need to be prepared to provide pain medication and supplements like glucosamine for Emery as needed. This sweet boy is certainly worth it!

Dogs transported after the June clinic

We have had a few dog transports since the Animal Ark / Akin Hills clinic.

We had a call on Sunday May 30th that Emery, a smaller breed dog was injured the previous night, cause unknown. The owner thought it may be a bear attack, as little Emery was known to fend off bears. The owner did not have the money to take Emery to the vet so he was surrendered.

His side was gashed open so Clearwater Vet sewed him up and he remained at the shelter until June 5th. Dr. Bartsch of Akin Hills was thankfully here during the clinic to redo the surgery and insert a drain tube.

Carol provided "round the clock" care for him at the warehouse and lots of tlc. We are so thankful that All Dog took Emery on Sunday and we are very hopeful for a full recovery. Thank you all for helping Emery move on from a very dire situation to one of hope.

MUTT & JEFFMutt and Jeff also went to All Dog Rescue.

BENNYJeanette transported Benny to MARS.
