Saving Pokey and Princess...how rescue works

Princess

Reunion Rescue pulled Princess from high kill Moreno Valley shelter. She was 7 and blind. The

Pokey

minute she was safely out of the shelter and placed into boarding, Princess, like so many valley dogs, came down with distemper.

The boarding facility was forced to quarantine her and she has needed three months of very expensive medication to treat the illness. Reunion Rescue was already stressed financially, but Princess's illness has really put Reunion in the red.

Yesterday, we were contacted by a long time adopter who's 4 year old son found a stray pit bull. They had hoped the puppy would be adopted, but once at the shelter, he contracted a severe case of kennel cough. We managed to save him in the nick of time and get him into foster care. His name is Pokey.

Pokey has a vet appointment today and we're hoping it's just that, a bad case of kennel cough and not a severe illness like Princess's distemper.

Reunion is filled to the brim with Texas and Cali dogs right now at the refuge and can't handle another
huge expense.

We've created Pokey a chip in fund to raise money for his vet and spay/neuter expenses.

Reunion Rescue...you don't have to feel bad dog days

Every day is a holiday at Reunion Rescue. Even though these dogs came from terrible backgrounds, each of them is learning how to enjoy life for the first time in their lives.

All Reunion Rescue dogs are fed a raw diet and treated homeopathically. Reunion Rescue's Health Page is full of healthy tips with our wonderful dogs as evidence that these simple ideas work and work well. Emphasis on well.

We are currently building our volunteer program with dogged young people and their families. Phil is spending his summer vacation helping Reunion dogs strut in the sunshine.

Even if someone doesn't live nearby, Reunion can use help with social media and getting the word out. Imagine others finding out how to cure heartworms with our herbal program? How many dogs dying in shelters and their rescuers could benefit from the easy healthful way to combat heartworm, kennel cough and a whole slew of other nasty, but treatable issues that dogs are needlessly dying for.

Reunion Rescue can't save every dog, but we want to show others how they can have happy, healthy dogs just like we do.
