Dog of the Month

Mickey

Hi, I'm Mickey and I'm a cool cat! I love being outside and I do all my business there too, if you know what I mean. I move real slow and some folks mistake me for a sloth - even though I don't live in a tree. I just love my squeaky toys and don't mind if the other dogs play with them either, as long as I have a few to toss around myself.

Since coming to the rescue, I'm on a bit of a diet. I don't like to admit it, but I am a little bit round through the middle. But no worries... I'm still a fun guy! I also get a special bath once a week to clear up some skin issues, and I have some special eye drops. Since I have beautiful bug-like eyes, they don't tear as well as those cry baby Poodles - so I need some special tears. They aren't too much trouble though, and I'm feeling good and ready for my forever home. So come on now. Pick me! Pick me! I'll love you forever if you promise to do the same!!

Mickey's adoption fee is $200.00.

Ol' Blue Eyes Needs to Put on Weight

Mr. Sinatra (Blue)

Hello fellow Maltese lovers (and of course other breed lovers) my name is Mr. Sinatra. Yes, you read that correct... Mr. Sinatra!

I am a gentle older gentleman that has not had a good life in the past, but lucky for me I am being well taken care of by Lil' Paws Maltese Rescue and my fabulous foster mom. As soon as they brought me here to this huge city of Austin I have been to two wonderful Veterinarians (Dr. Teliha at River Ranch Veterinary Hospital and Dr. Lewis with ATA).

I have a pretty long list of ailments but we are working on two of my major problems first. First and foremost I was starved - severely emaciated. When I was found I weighed in at 3 lbs. Now I am up to 4.7 lbs - yes they are feeding me well. My doctors feel that I should normally weigh around 6 lbs. I am slowly but surely getting to my ideal weight.

My second problem is that my thyroid level was extremely low. I have already started on my new medication to help me with this problem. I am already feeling much better even though it has only been a few days.

I do have some eye problems but once these kind folks help me by feeding me such good food and I get my handsome figure back - my eyes are next on the list to take care of. I currently have to have drops in my eyes to help, which do make them feel better! It seems that I heard the Vet's telling that I have bad dry eyes. I know that my right eye is pretty damaged from them being so dry that I am pretty much blind in that eye. But, that is OK... I can still see some things.

I do have terrible teeth as well – but what do you expect after having to eat what I could find to eat? I am also taking antibiotics for the infection in my mouth. After I gain more weight and I am more stable with my health, I have been told that I am going to have a dental. How wonderful that is going to feel! I am pretty excited about getting this done.

My other problems stem from my being so emaciated, so I am well on my way of curing those ailments too!

So, now that you know more about me and see that I have a lot of medication along with some future procedures that will have to be done – I am asking you for some help! Remember – every little bit helps! If you feel that you can donate please do so to help Lil’ Paws cover my current and future medical expenses.
