Pet Rescue Stories : Harley to the Rescue - Two little Chihuahuas (Harley and Teddy) hitting the road to rescue dogs from puppy mills.

Harley and Teddy, "caped crusaders" raising awareness about puppy mills.

April 24, 2014
Those of us in the animal world are well aware of the atrocities of puppy mills.
The filthy conditions, lack of clean water, food, and veterinary care, the loneliness and neglect the animals suffer. Which is why it's wonderful to hear of puppy mill dogs who are rescued and get to spend the rest of their lives in a loving home.
Two such survivors, Harley, 13, and Teddy, 8, are doing more than enjoying their freedom, however. On April 26, they're leaving for a trip (not their first) with National Mill Dog Rescue (NMDR) to save other puppy mill dogs. This Midwest mission, dubbed 'Harley to the Rescue,' has a goal of saving more than 50 dogs.
'Harley to the Rescue' started as a campaign to raise $2,500 to fund one rescue of 25-30 dogs. As of today, these brave Chihuhuas have raised over $150,000 and have rescued 265 dogs from mills. Watch video (Here).

Urgent help needed for abused chihuahua with no teeth

At first glance, rescuers thought they were dealing with an aged chihuahua who had lost his teeth because of neglect. Tragically, the pooch has been rushed to the veterinarian on Saturday evening; his rescuers state this dog is less than two-years-old.
Rescuers believed tiny little Nemo has been badly abused and his teeth have been knocked out.
"Only a monster would knock the teeth out of a helpless little chihuahua," stated Kathleen Godwin of Ithaca, New York. "It's beyond horrible to think of what this poor little one must have suffered and the pain he must be in now."

Injured senior in need of emergency care

According to San Antonio Pets Alive (SAPA), a senior Chihuahua is in dire need of emergency care at an animal control agency in Texas.
The non-profit organization shared the following information about the 9-year-old dog in need on Saturday:
This sweet ol’ guy just came in to ACS and he needs a hospice foster. He is a medical emergency. He will need to have his eye enucleated and SAPA will provide his medical care for a foster or adopter.
He is a sweet and gentle 9 yr old Chihuahua and he has been through hell and back and is very emaciated and has a painful Upper respiratory infection (like havinga bad cold). He is contagious to other pets for the next 7 to 10 days but he is so tiny and east to keep separated.
Chewy needs a warm space away from the others until he is feeling better. He weighs approx 8 lbs. This sweet little man just needs to be comfortable and loved for the short time he has left. Please email if you can help him.
