Critical Care Unit
SmallDog Rescue is one of the few local rescue groups that takes in very ill and senior dogs. We believe these dogs, too, have a right to be rescued. Our hope is to make them as healthy as possible, then help them find their forever homes. Each individual dogs’ needs and costs are estimated based on quotes from the vets. If any procedure ends up costing less, then the monies raised go directly toward the next dog in need. All CCU donations are used to care for dogs listed on this page. You can also make a general donation to the CCU for future dogs in need, please see the bottom of the page.
On Feb. 27 Dawn was found at an Atlanta Wal-Mart only 24 lbs and with a temperature of 92 (very low). She was infested with mange, yeast, heartworms, and intestinal parasites; a true face of neglect and abuse. We were not sure she would live through the night. Since then she has been receiving vitamin supplements, antibiotics, probiotics, high quality food, lots of love and in 13 days is up to 36 lbs! She has warmed up to people and learned what it is like to love and be loved. She is under veterinary care to monitor her anemia, weight gain, and overall health. She will begin treatment for mange and heartworms when she is back to normal health. To follow Dawn’s progress please follow her page: Fighting for Dawn.
