Alec is coming to BALTIMORE!

So Alec passed his final bill of health finally allowing him to come up to Dogs XL Rescue.   If you aren't familiar with how all of these transports work, just know that rescues can not typically save a dog and transport them across state lines in there is a skin or possibly other health issue.   That was the case with Alec.   Luckily for him, with a lot of love and care, and especially hypoallergenic food, he looks wonderful now.   His ears are still a little aggitated and a few improving bare spots, but a million times better!   We can't wait to have this guy in our arms.   Thank you to everyone that donated for his health care and extended stay keeping him alive at this shelter.   Alec couldn't be more thankful.

Now....   he needs a loving fur-ever home, or a foster.   Please let us know if you are interested in continuing to assist Dogs XL Rescue in helping this special boy.

How handsome is he now!!!

Yep! More comfortable, more hair, MORE HANDSOME!

Alec is recovering with some tlc and is a happy boy!

Thank you to everyone that donated and had special thoughts for our Alec!

Dogs XL thanks you!

Prayers needed for Brody

Brody, our wonder dog, has had some set backs.   He made progress after his surgery and things were looking up.   He has a wonderful new dad of less than a week taking great care of him.  
Unfortunately, Brody's intestinal surgery site has become perforated and late last night he underwent a second surgery.   The prognosis is very guarded right now.   Please keep him in your prayers today.
Dogs xl is financially supporting these procedures.   The first surgery was over $ 800.   We do not have a total for this more extensive surgery at this point.

3/10:  update:   brody is hanging in after his second surgery.  Slowly up and moving around and in some pain, he is in a critical stage of recovery.   We continue to keep our paws crossed!

Meet Jersey!

We couldn't leave this sweet one behind!   Out of the kill shelter, to the arms of Dogs XL, and now whisked away for ear surgery.
We will post more updates as the vet sends them.   Our fund is being seriously challenged.  We need your help to care for these wonderful dogs. 

3/8/12 update:   great news!   The abcess was successfully removed.  His new family is ecstatic, feeding him hypoallergenic food which will help keep him healthy.  Thank you to everyone who helped out in his care!!!

Brody Update

So Brody is up and moving around.  He had a little to eat.  So now we are carefully optimistic.   Food needs to  stay put and his poor intestine has to heal and avoid infection.
Every day in the hospital is adding up.  Please help defray some of these costs.   Donate today!

BRODY HAD EMERGENCY LIFE SAVING SURGERY

Brody's dream had just all come true!  He found his forever home with a loving owner.   It was not expected that he would quickly not feel well.   Not sure of what was wrong, he was taking to the vet and without warning, wound up in emergency surgery for an intestinal blockage.   Apparantly, kitchen towels and toys are a delicacy!   Well, if Brody had not had the surgery, he would not be with us today.  

Right now we are praying and hoping for the best.   The next 48 hours are critical and now, we sit and wait.   He has our support, a new home waiting to love him.... now he just needs time. 

  The sudden urgency of this procedure has us thankful for our vetting partners and the care they give our dogs when they are in need.     Dogs XL needs your help to help cover the costs of this surgery for Brody.   Please consider donating to our care fund today.   All funds today and tomorrow will go directly to the cost of Brody's surgery.
