Summer is here!

What a busy time it has been here at DRBC! Adoption season is in full swing, and our event schedule has picked up also. We have been working on quite a few medical cases, and continue to see turn ins at an all time high.

We have a few announcements this week. There are a few days left on the shoe drive...if you still have any shoes laying around you would like to donate, we can still accept them for a couple more days. Here is that link: http://doxierescue.com/DRBC_Shoe_Drive.html

Also DRBC is forming a new type of foster team, the DRBC IVDD Rapid Response Team. Do you have experience working with doxies on a medical level? Would you like to help a doxie that has gone down return to a walking state? Well have we got a job for you. Please complete an application and make a difference today; there is nothing quite like it! Here is that link: http://doxierescue.com/Foster_Application.html

We would like to give a big welcome to several new members of the DRBC family! Here they are:




There is a new boy on the block here at DRBC! SAFE from NY's worst shelter is little Jasper! What a mess. He has bad oral disease and is so thin you can count his ribs. Worst of all, we have been asked to hold off on treatment as he is listed as 'found', had a chip and the shelter is looking for his owner. No worries. We have had him checked and will not deny care.







These two little girls have just come to DRBC. Meet Winnie and Aria. Just 3 yrs old, they have so much life ahead of them. Please say hi and know that as they are a bonded pair we will not separate them ever. 









There is a new pupper here at DRBC. It is little Pippa. She lost her home after seven years, but is safe now with us. She is terrified, but her loving foster home is working to gain her confidence. 





Want to send our new pups a starter gift? Maybe a new harness or leash? Just follow the link and help welcome them to the DRBC family. Thanks Gang! Click here to donate!






This one's for the Winnie lovers. Winnie asked us to give an update on her life and share some great news. One of Winnie's fans made her a prayer blanket and even sent a medal to bring her strength. She is so appreciative and is already using it! Winnie is not improving, but this little girl owns our hearts and so we are not giving up. Winnie will travel to Red Bank Veterinary Hospital on Monday to see Dr Eric Glass, renowned neurosurgeon to try and get a handle on what is going on with her. We know this means an MRI at the very least and potential surgery downstream, so please put aside a few pennies for Winnie and watch for her fundraiser next week.

As always we will keep you posted on her progress and hope that soon this little one is zooming around in her cart again. Please send love to Winnie as she is very sad these days and could sure use it. Thanks Gang!



We have an exciting update on Andree. He is up running, yes, not just walking, is rolling in the grass and is gaining weight!  Best of all the continued treatments on his rump have reduced the mass size by about half. Everyone here is shocked and oh so happy. Please continue to support Andree with some more positive vibes, prayers and shout outs!



We have news on Anastasia. Her blood work is back and she is still battling her IMHA [Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia]. The good news is that her weight is coming down and her mouth is no longer as sore. A step at a time. She needs your support!




Great news on Scooby! He continues to improve and has fared the best of the NY3! He still has come a long way and still has a ways to go including a dental reconstruction, but his spirits are high. Please keep a good though, send a prayer and positive vibe and join the NY3 effort if you have not already. Yeah Scooby!!


               


We have exciting news on the adoption front for our puppers, starting with Hank and Holly! They have found their forever home and could not be more excited! Olivia has also found her forever home. She has a new brother to teach her the ropes at home and will be loved to bits forever and ever! Way to got Oliva!!

We've had quite a few check - ins this week from our alumni and their furever families.



This just in from Pop...life is good! Pop just got some exciting news too. His Mom and Dad love, love, love him but wondered just what kind of doxie mix Pop really is. They got the results following a DNA test and pop is 50% Chihuahua, 25% Shorthair Dachshund and 25% Herding/Terrier Breed Mix (undetermined exact breed). We knew there was a doxie in there!! Thanks for sharing Pop! Please join us in celebrating Pop's Doxie heritage! Way to go Pop!






Look who is checking in....it's is Devi! This little guy came to us with a case of kennel cough so severe we ended up at NorthStar VETS. He was thin and frightened too. Now check him out. Happy, healthy and sleeping doxie style with his brother! Way to go Devi!






Here's Joey & Jessie. These two guys waited for over 2 years to find their forever home and now they are living the life!! We are thrilled for them. Way to go guys!




Look who popped in to say hi...it is Kaylyn! She has a new name now; it's Ruby! She is loving her new life and had to stop by for the one year anniversary of her gotcha day. We are sooooo happy for her! Please put your hands and paws together in celebration for this little girl and give her a big round of love too! Yeah Ruby!! We still love ya!


Cutie of the Week

Lastly, we have sad news to share. Two members of the DRBC family have crossed the Rainbow Bridge in the last few weeks. We honor their memory here, and leave you with this. Until next week, gang.


It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of the passing of George from Dachsologie. DRBC has long been a fan of this beautiful boy and we are honored to give him a rainbow paw as he makes his journey across the bridge. Over the years we have shared many of George's insights and pictures with all of you and so it seems right that we share the news of his passing with you today. 


The tears abound here at DRBC as we share the news of Stevie/Lindo's passing. This was the youngest of the three doxies pulled from NY.  He stopped urinating and was rushed to the vet, but the level of blockage caused by long term neglect and lack of veterinary care forced us to let him cross the Bridge. 

We are very sad and are comforted only in the fact that this little guy knew love before he passed. Our foster team made sure he had food, treats, warm blankets and soooo much love. He passed from his pain being held by loving arms.
