Poodle Rescue of Houston

Urgent Needs

Poodle Rescue of Houston desperately needs money to treat and care for some of our most severe poodles struggling to get better with each new day. We are currently treating heartworm infestations that are very expensive. Please help us help these poodles in distress by donating thru Pay Pal. Just click on the credit card picture above and give a charitable donation that will be greatly appreciated and needed.

Below are examples of past urgent needs Poodle Rescue has helped with medical care.

It takes about six to eight weeks to cure sarcoptic mange. This girl will look totally

different in just a few months. She was turned into a Montgomery County Shelter.

Her rehabilitation would not be possible without the support of people like you. Poodle

people that look at our web site. Firgie was taken into Poodle Rescue of Houston's

program on May 26th, 2010. Follow her progress as she heals and gets adopted.

Princess Ann was retrieved on May 26th by PRH after being turned intoHarris County Animal Control. She appears to have Chemical Burns on her back. She has began her rehabilitation under the care of our Veterinarian Dr. Cordon. We anticipate a full recovery within six weeks. She is currently for adoption, but she won't last long

STARVED AND CAUGHT IN A TRAP

I am too dishearted to go to the kennel and read the run card to tell you what the girls named this young female poodle that arrived at PRH today on July 30th. She was one of three neglected poodles from three different shelters and surrenders in one day. Let's ''Cut to the Chase" Not beat around the bush. We are all poodle lovers. That's why we are here. We need your support! We are one of if not the largest Poodle Rescue Organization in the world and we operate in the red. Never in our history has any officer or director of Poodle Rescue of Houston ever compensated themselves. 100% of donations and adoption fee's go back into rescue. I feel that we are one of the most productive and least compensated breed rescues in the states. We rescued 517 poodles just last year. That is more than one a day. Please donate what you are able to give so we can continue the fight to save these little ones.Guinnette, Director od Poodle rescue of Houston.

Kenan, Rescued From Puppy Mill

The rescue process for our recent 26 arrivals is now underway. This is an immense undertaking that will tax the resources of our organization. At times it can be discouraging and demoralizing, even heartbreaking. But we are confident that, in time, the challenge will be met and these dogs will go on to the happy life that has thus far eluded them. The dogs are now in various stages of the process but Guinnette thought it would be helpful to send out a set of photos that are representative of our system to illustrate what will be done for each and every dog. So, I have attached several photos of the miniature poodle "Kenan" who was in deplorable condition when he was rescued. By no means is Kenan well or ready for adoption... that is going to take weeks. But he's a lot better off now and well on the road to the life he deserves. On behalf of all these dogs I would like to thank everyone involved, especially the great people from Arkansas who work tirelessly with Paws and Claws, Stop Animal Cruelty of Hot Springs County and the Hot Springs County Humane Society. Best Regards,

P. S. For any of you wondering about the condition of the seven adorable puppies that were rescued in this group, Dr. Cordon found hookworms, round worms, coccidia and ear mites. They are being treated and it's my understanding that none of this is too serious. Dawn Zack took them to her pet resort and will foster them until they can be adopted.

Fluffy

"Fluffy" is a female miniature poodle who was rescued today by Poodle Rescue of Houston. As you can see from the photos, her coat was in deplorable condition and, under all that fur, she was extremely thin and probably starving. Within hours of her arrival she was groomed by Melanie and slowly but surely a beautiful white princess emerged from the tangled mess. Fluffy will receive medical attention, food, shelter and loving care until a permanent home can be found for her.

35 standard poodles rescued from Oklahoma Farm by Poodle Rescue of Houston

They filled a double decked van and a U-Haul trailer. They arrived last night Monday March 23rd.

35 Tennessee Poodles Found With Dead Women
Most of all we need good homes for these poodles plus the 11 Kilgore, Tx Puppy Mill poodles we found abused and without water.

These Tennessee poodles were being groomed and bathed by Bluebonnet poodle Club volunteers at Parkland Kennels in Richmond, Texas. Owner Dawn Zack generously donated available kennel space to help these pure bred poodles after they were rescued by Poodle Rescue of Houston from a deceased puppy mill breeder found dead in her unairconditioned trailer house following a heart attack. Her body was discovered several days to a week after her death. The condition of the house was deplorable and unsuitable for animals. Unidentified debris littered every inch of floor or surface. Crates were stacked head high like chicken coops for the many dogs she bred for profit. The larger standard poodles were kept outside in several fenced area's. They were filthy with dirt and infested with flea's. Their coats were matted and overall condition unkept. Animal control was forced to noose the unsocial frightened poodles with catch poles for their own safety. It was impossible to lure them with food. They had never been walked on a leash. The dogs were difficult to catch. The temperature was near 100 degrees. Time was of the essence. Animal control was efficient and professional. We were able to load all of the standards in less than an hour and a half. We went back into the house and searched again for small poodles and found five more in the debris.

Poodle Rescue spent $2,100.00 to fly two driver and rent two cargo vans for the transport back to Texas. Donations are needed to support the care of these dogs. Please help us help the poodles. Most of all we need good homes for these poodles. They are getting friendly and coming around, says rescue volunteer Dawn Zack. Most are young and will make good pets with a little patience.

If you have considered adopting a poodle or making an addition to your family we beg you to please consider adopting one of these poodles now.

Canyon was retrieved from Animal Control in Seagoville Texas after a long time attempt by neighbors to capture this illusive canine. Neighbors put food and water out for him over a month but he would run away each time he was coaxed toward a human. Finally he collapsed and was sent to Animal control. Canyon had hundreds of maggots in his open flesh wounds. The animal control officer stayed until midnight trying to remove the maggots from his wounds. A desperate plea was cross posted to animal rescues across Texas. Poodle Rescue Of Houston left early the next morning for the four hour drive to Seagoville. He was driven directly to the veterinarian hospital, anesthetized in the vehicle to reduce stress. He was shaved by the vet tech and rescue volunteer Guinnette Pebbles. Additional maggots were removed from the wound and from the anal canal. Maggots were flushed from the ear canal by the veterinarian. His body and wounds were scrubbed with chloroform antiseptic. Fluids were administered with antibiotics. Stool test confirmed hookworm infestation but his blood test was negative for heart worms. We named him Canyon for our records.

Canyon is well on his way to recovery at Poodle Rescue Of Houston's adoption facility on Schroeder Road. Donations on his behalf is appreciated. Canyon will be available for adoption once he has rehabilitated further and has been neutered.

A passer by observed this middle aged dog being dumped from a moving vehicle. Discarded like trash the dog was abandoned. A passer by saw the dog being dumped and they brought the dog to poodle rescue. Within the hour the dog was being seen by the vet. Although there were no apparent bodily injuries from the dog being dumped there was a physical story of long term neglect. We will keep you updated.
