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!
