Lost 40lb lab mix - Dallas

Everyone - please share everywhere you can - please print out the flyer and post widely - Lucy recently had surgery for a prolapsed bladder and she has been without the medication that helps her pee since Friday. If she cnnot go obviously she is at a high risk of her bladder prolapsing again. Also, there is the fact that she could easily freeze to death tonight, so this is of critical urgency!!!

Lucy went missing at 6pm on 12/21 from the Fitzhugh/Travis Street area (in Dallas). We have had two search dogs/pet detectives come out to help us find her so we think she is heading SW, perhaps towards the location where we originally rescued her in W. Dallas near Singleton/Vilbig. She's about 40 lbs, is friendly but cautious and may still be wearing a red collar and dragging a red leash. Please do not approach her. If you see her, note the location and time and contact us right away: 443-366-0597, 214-707-7005 or info@duckteam6.org.

We have posted signs from Knox down South along Cole, McKinney, Travis, etc through the West Village and Uptown areas. We are thankful for all of the volunteers who have come out to help post signs and hand out flyers. We're hoping someone will spot her and call us so we have a better idea of where to continue our search. We're thinking she might continue

We're hoping someone will spot her and call us so we have a better idea of where to continue our search. We're thinking she might continue to track SW so could be traveling through the Arts District, the West End, etc.

Lucy escaped from her home at 6pm on Friday, 12/21/12

Last seen near 4134 Travis Street at Fitzhugh

40 lb black lab mix - may still be wearing a red collar and leash

Blind Puppy at Dallas Animal Services Needs a New Home

Can anyone help this little girl?  She was adopted yesterday but the owner’s changed their mind when they found out she was blind.  We did go ahead and spay her.  She is a super sweet puppy, and deserves a great home for the holidays.  She is about 8 weeks old and we have her listed as a lab mix.  Her A# is 759775.  

Please email DASrescue@dallascityhall.com orNicole.self@dallascityhall.com if you can help this precious little girl.

Justice's Case Update

Judge Larry Mitchell denied the defense attorneys’ motions to sever; therefore, all four defendants will stand trial together.  The defendants were in the courtroom, and were led back to jail after the hearing. The trial has already been reset for March 18, 2013.  This date, too, could change, but I’ll let you know as we get closer to it.

Five TV stations and The Dallas Morning News, along with other media, were in the courtroom to cover the hearing, and KRLD, WBAP and KERA also did stories.  We are successfully getting the word out about animal cruelty and the fact that it will be investigated and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

I’ll keep you posted, and check the Texas Humane Alliance Facebook page (www.Facebook.com/TexasHumaneAlliance) for updates on Justice’s case and other cases of animal cruelty.  

Thanks for caring,

Dallas Animal Services - Sweet Goober

DLF154 A758594

Dallas Animal Services has a little boy that is in need of your help.  His name is Goober!  He is a 2 year old, possible pit mix.  Goober has demodex mange, which makes it very hard to determine what breed he is.  He has spots like a dalmation and a lab-y head.  Goober weighs a whopping 65.8lbs! He is submissively sweet and loves people.  Goober is a little shy and is not used to walking on a leash.  With a little coaxing he will follow you anywhere!  We have begun treatment for the demodex as well as the secondary skin infection caused by the mites.  He also has entropion of the eyelids.  We believe this is due to the skin infections but it will be hard to tell until he is treated. 

I would like to take the time to point out that demodex is not contagious and is treatable.  Demodex is just a little mite that lives on dogs.  It does not even like people and is dog specific.  Goober’s mites only like Goober!  Don’t let Goober loose a second chance at life because he was nice enough to give these mites a home.  He didn’t know that they would be rude and take over his whole body! 

Please email us at DASrescue@dallascityhall.com to tag him.  Or if you have any questions, please ask!  If you would also like to contribute or help Goober get saved please let us know! 

Such a sweet boy should not have such a sad fate!

Thanks for all you do!

Meet Jayda!

Jayda

Jayda is just over 3 Years old. Her owner adopted her when she was 8 weeks old. At that time she had her first set of shots, dew claws removed and tail docked. She is half American Rotty and Half German Rotty, she is gorgeous with dark mahogany markings and jet black everywhere else with a smooth short coat. She is spayed, up to date on shots and heart worm medicine, she does not have any medical conditions, she is not allergic to anything and she weighs about 85 lbs.

Jayda is currently lives with another male Rotty who is about 10 years old, but she tends to be the dominant one. She has never been around cats, but has grown up living with her owner's 7 year old son since he was 5 and is very good with him. 

Jayda is house broken and crate trained, she knows basic commands like, sit, wait, lay down, and responds well to treat commands. Once hearing the word “crate,” Jayda will run in her crate and wait for a treat. She absolutely loves  to swim and would do great in a home with a pool and backyard to run and play! While Jayda is good with kids, she is a larger dog and can be very energetic. Adults will need to make sure she does not knock over smaller children.

A few times in the past Jayda has shown some resource guarding behaviors and she does need to wear a muzzle when at the vet. Given the behaviors she has shown in the past, her new owner should be confident and willing to invest time in Jayda's exercise and training. 

Unfortunately Jayda's her current owner is not in a position to work on her behavior. With regular exercise, consistent training and care, this sweet girl has the potential to be a wonderful long-term companion.

For more information about Jayda, please contact tavis@westbrookbrokerage.com.

Labs at Dallas Animal Services

Several Labrador Retrievers are available at Dallas Animal Services. Please email us at DASrescue@dallascityhall.com if you have any questions about these pups or would like to tag them.

Everyone meet Milo!  He is a very sweet 11 month old Labrador.  He has a very calm and sweet disposition.  He loves getting attention.  Milo also has issues with his hind legs.  His left hind leg he is “toe touching” lame.  He will put some weight on it but not very much.  We think it may be hip dysplasia but we are not sure.  He does not appear to be in pain when we examine the area.  Without x-rays we do not know for sure what is causing his lameness.  Even with all this, Milo is a happy loving puppy.  All he knows is that he loves being around people and wants a home that he can call his own!  Please help Milo to get his wish!    

This is Luther the Labrador!  He is a sweet boy who came to us after being hit by a car.  He is about 6 years old and is full of love!  He is doing very well, has not problems walking or anything.  He does have areas on his legs of hair loss that we believe were caused by the accident (road rash).  He is just a gentle giant and is hoping someone can help him!

This big boy is named Hampton!  He is about 1.5 years old.  He is a very smart boy and full of energy.  Hampton is currently available for adoption.  We are just sending him out to all of our transfer partners because he is a very special boy!  He is very smart and is a lab that will need someone who can work him.  He already knows how to sit and will easily learn where you hide your treats and help himself!  He is a wonderful dog but for some people, he may be too smart.  He is a perfect dog and needs a home that will appreciate his intelligence and drive! 

This boy is named Julius.  He is still currently under his stray hold but he will become available on 12/7/12.  He is a super sweet and loving lab that just needs some help finding a good home.  While in his kennel he is calm but will wag his tail as fast as he can!  All he wants is attention and a person to call his own!

Please let us know if you think you can help any of these labs.  Luther and Milo are both in need of rescue asap!  

Email DASrescue@dallascityhall.com to tag or if you have any questions about any of the dogs we have here.  We are here to help!
