Cinnamon
|
I am another new face here in Redding, and my name is Cinnamon thanks to all of your FB fans out there. I did come in with my companion, Dory, from a shelter in Oroville, CA. Not only do my eyes need surgery and I do need to be spayed, but I am also heartworm positive. If you are not familiar with heartworm disease, it is transmitted by mosquitos. Here in Northern CA we are at extreme high risk for the disease, but I have learned that a few dogs that came into this rescue from Southern CA were also positive. It is easy to prevent us from getting this disease with a once a month pill that you get from your vet. Once we are all tested for this disease then we are kept on the preventative year round at the rescue. The treatment for this condition is very costly, but more than that it is very hard on us who have to go through it. I have started my treatment and now have to wait two weeks for the second part of it. During the treatment I have to try and stay calm-that's not always easy for a two year old girl like myself. Once my treatment is completed, I will have my eyes fixed and be spayed. We must be treated first or there is a chance we will not make it through any surgeries. Anyway, I still have quite a long road ahead of me, but even with all this, I am a very loving and grateful girl for the care I am receiving. I know I may not look my best right now, but please know that I am a diamond in the rough, but a diamond never the less. I am a lilac horsecoat and according to my foster parents one of the sweetest and most loving dogs here.
If anyone out there is able to help with the cost of my heartworm treatment and/or surgeries, it would be much appreciated.

OK, Ok, I know this is a silly picture, but for some reason you humans find humor in these sorts of things. My name is Gus, and I think I will try and get my foster parents to send a more realistic photo of me along with this one. I'm really a handsome guy, but I can be silly too. I am a cream dilute horsecoat boy with a rather complicated story which somehow includes Mexico. I'm not sure if that means I am originally from there, passed through there or was rescued from there. I do know I am no longer there! I was rescued by a group who works primarily with dogs in Mexico, but my story also includes Riverside. We are not going to go there, because I know even less about my involvement there. Anyway, this group saved me but had very little knowledge about my breed and reached out to my foster parents for help. It was agreed that I would come to Redding, but before I left my first rescuers did get me much needed eye surgery, and I want to thank them for that. When I got to Redding, my skin was looking a little "rough", but I'm looking good now! More than anything, I just want someone to pay attention to me-in my previous life I didn't get much of that. I would love for you to meet me so you can see for yourself just how good looking I am. You know, I really don't care what country, state, or county I live in as long as someone can give me the love and care I so long for and deserve. I'll be waiting to hear from you.

Chyna

Let me introduce myself. My name is Chyna, and I am from a shelter in Southern CA. They kept me there for almost a month before I was taken into this rescue. That may not mean a lot to you, but you need to know that not every dog in any shelter is given that much time to find a place to go. It means they recognized that I am a very nice person-oops, I mean dog. I guess I hear my foster parents here in Redding telling me what a nice person I am, and now I believe it! I am only about two years old and I guess I was looking for love in all the wrong places previously. I know I'm in the right place now to find my forever home-could you be it? I love people and get along with other dogs. I'm playful and outgoing with a beautiful fawn brushcoat. Nothing to find fault with, right? I guess that shelter couldn't find anything either, and that's why I'm still alive today!

Clementine

OK, so maybe I am not 100% Shar Pei, but don't I deserve a forever home too? My name is Clementine, and I am from the shelter in Yuba City, CA, where I was certain to be put down had I not been accepted into this rescue. I have a big smooshy Shar Pei face, but I am not sure what my heritage really is. No matter, as you can see I am really cute, but I need to work on my manners. It seems nobody really cared about me or what I did and just left me to take care of myself in a yard. Now I have to start learning to be better behaved. My first owners gave me away to someone else who was not interested in getting me back from the shelter even though I am microchipped. Microchips are a great tool to be able to find us if we somehow get lost, but they only work if you care enough to come and get us when the shelter calls. I get along with people and other dogs, but I do have a lot of energy and I'm working on becoming a better listener. I think we could all benefit from being better listeners sometimes-just a thought...

Benny

Hello to all you Shar Pei fans out there! My name is Benny, and I came from Phoenix, AZ, along with my companion Joon. Although we came in together, we can go our separate ways. I am a young adult boy, and I have had entropion surgery and been neutered so I am good to go. I'm a friendly sort of guy and can get along nicely with others. It's not really that I am boring, but I just don't have much to say at this point. I guess if you want to get my opinion about something, you will just have to visit me here in Redding. By the way, if you are thinking of making the trip to Redding, there is lots to do here and lots of beautiful places to visit-after you have met and visited with us. Hope to see you soon!
