Hurray for Cooper and Bear!!!

Two more deserving dogs left the beach yesterday with Christine Driscoll of Amigos de los Animales. Cooper, a super-sweet pointer mix, was hit by a car about a month ago and his back right hip was either broken or dislocated. It's of obvious discomfort for him as he doesn't put any weight on it at all. Also, Steve McGarva noticed a couple of his teeth were broken off as well, probably as a result of the collision with the car. Cars go racing through the beach area all the time and dogs are hit - some limp away, some don't - on a regular basis. But Mr. Cooper is going to the vet today to have his hip and choppers looked at and get some good care. Christine had said she will sponsor his medical rehabilitation and I'm going to find him a new home. I'll be targeting pointer breed rescue groups first since he has a lot of pointer in him.

Now take a look at Bear (aka "Chuck"). Poor little mess has such serious mange that he must be horribly miserable. Well, that will soon be over for him! Christine also took him and he'll be getting good care and get his coat back to the beautiful locks it surely once was. Again, I'll be contacting chow breed rescue groups for him.

Yippee for Cooper and Bear and HURRAY for Christine!
