Update: Dog with broken jaw waited in Texas parking lot for help

/10 Comments/in , , , , , /by

In the middle of the night on Tuesday, a dog with a broken jaw hovered near a parked car in McAllen, Texas; his jaw stuck open and bleeding profusely. The pain was so excruciating, there seemed to have been no relief; that is until a kind couple spotted him and called out for help. Rescue Dogs Rock NYC immediately agreed, and the little dog whose life was saved outside of Little Caesars Pizza, was rushed to Pet Doctor 911 on Tuesday evening.

Caeser has since been transferred to the rescue organization’s San Antonio veterinarian at Callaghan Road AnimHospital.  Surgery is scheduled for Friday morning to repair his severely fractured mandible in three places. It is estimated the dog will need at least two surgeries to repair the damage.

“Caeser is lucky to be alive,” Rescue Dogs Rock NYC co-founder Stacey Silverstein stated on the dog’s update. “Caeser cannot eat or use his mouth even to drink water and is being fed through a feeding tube at this time.

According to the veterinarian evaluation, Caeser is only four months of age. It has been stated the puppy has been a victim of blunt force trauma with experienced medical professionals saying there can be no other explanation consistent with the injuries the dog has suffered.

Dog with broken jaw waited by parked car until a kind couple offered to help

In the middle of the night, a dog with a broken jaw hovered near a parked car in McAllen, Texas; his jaw stuck open and bleeding profusely. The pain was so excruciating, there seemed to have been no relief; that is until a kind couple spotted him and called out for help. Rescue Dogs Rock NYC immediately agreed, and the little dog whose life was saved outside of Little Caesars Pizza, was rushed to Pet Doctor 911 on Tuesday evening.

“Caeser has a broken jaw; he needs expensive surgery,” wrote Rescue Dogs Rock NYC co-founder, Stacey Silverstein. “It’s at least $1000 to walk into the emergency hospital.”

Video #1

And when Caeser arrived at the veterinary hospital and his condition could be fully evaluated, volunteers and advocates were heartbroken. He was covered in blood all over his chest and legs from his mouth. Even worse, veterinarians stated the dog’s bottom jaw had been severed and detached from his gums and mouth.

“Caeser is now on pain medication and resting comfortably. He cannot eat, he cannot move his mouth, he cannot open and close his mouth and he’s been in excruciating pain up until now,” Stacey continued on her latest update on the organization’s Facebook page.

Caeser will require multiple surgeries to repair his badly broken jaw. Updates to follow.

Missy just 8-months-old lived under a vacant house in agonizing pain, but now…

/5 Comments/in , , , , , , /by

Just eight-months-old, Missy lived under a vacant house in excruciating pain for an unknown length of time. Other puppies had slept and hid in the same crawlspace, and it had become a pitiful and sad home for abandoned dogs with no hope and nowhere else to go. When finally on Friday, Missy was captured by animal control in the rural Georgia area, her condition was so serious, the shelter would have had no other option than humane euthanasia. It was at the very moment Rescue Dogs Rock NYC had been called to help.

Missy’s legs were swollen and injured to almost twice their size. Her severe case of mange had destroyed her coat, and the stench of the bacterial infection pyoderma with its lesions and pustules made it nearly impossible for Missy to lie down and sleep comfortably.

Video #1

It is obvious to see Missy was in severe pain, but what could not be seen was the puppy’s intense fear. Once arriving at the emergency veterinarian hospital, Missy had to be sedated just to calm her.

“The above video was taken on her arrival. She has started treatment for her horrible mange, pyoderma and infection,” wrote Rescue Dogs Rock NYC co-founder, Jackie O’Sullivan. “She is still terrified, so they are letting her settle in a bit and feel more comfortable before attempting more photos to share… Missy has a long road back.”

Dying 8-month-old puppy survives the night after miracle rescue

/7 Comments/in , , , , , /by

A dying eight-month-old puppy was saved on Friday night from a Dallas, Texas shelter because of a miracle rescue coordinated by volunteers and animal advocates. First thoughts were that the weak and fragile pup had been a burn victim; no one knew what torturous life she had lived in such a brief time. Rescue Dogs Rock NYC stepped up with the miracle. No one knew if she would survive the night.

 

Video #1

The dog arrived at the emergency hospital in Dallas and was named Lola. At first, she was completely unresponsive and urgent medical care was her only hope. Between the heat of the night and her fragile compromised physical condition, Lola would not have survived much longer at the shelter.

“We were in constant touch with the ER medical team until late into the night and first thing this morning,”  stated Stacey Silverstein, co-founder of Rescue Dogs Rock NYC. “Lola has a lot going on. Demodex mange is confirmed along with pyoderma and a bad skin infection. Her skin is swollen, red, bloody and raw in places.”

And as if that wasn’t enough for any puppy so young to suffer with, Lola is nearly hairless and dangerously anemic; her white blood cell count remains high and she has a heavy concentration of hookworms. Veterinarians have diagnosed her with bilateral corneal ulcers, and it is hoped her eyesight can be spared.

Lola was given a blood transfusion when brought in last night as well as intravenous fluids and antibiotics.

“We were terrified we’d get a message over night that Lola was gone and that we were too late. Luckily that did not happen and Lola is still with us. We are so grateful she survived the night,” Stacey added on Saturday morning. “She is far from out of the woods, but we will take it. She will remain at the 24/7 emergency vet hospital for the foreseeable future.”

Neglected shepherd entangled in her chain chewed her degloved leg to escape

/8 Comments/in , , , , , /by

A one-year-old German shepherd mix, who had nearly chewed her back leg off, was brought into a Texas kill shelter on Thursday morning by animal control. The young dog had been picked up as a stray limping and in obvious pain; her back leg had been completely degloved, infected and necrotic. When the shelter contacted Rescue Dogs Rock NYC for help, the organization’s co-founder, Stacey Silverstein stepped up. No other rescues had volunteered, and the only alternative would have been humane euthanasia.

“We took one look at her severe leg injury and immediately knew we had to save her and could not turn our backs on her,” Stacey wrote on the organization’s Facebook page as she posted the photos of the dog named Cherry (also known as Lucky.

Once Cherry was transferred to the organization’s Texas veterinary hospital partner, details of the dog’s past were soon to be known. She had been an outside dog chained all day and all night. Her neglectful owner had not noticed or cared her dog’s leg had become tightly entangled in her chain. For over a week Cherry tried to free her leg; in agonizing pain she literally ate, chewed and licked her degloved leg while still chained outside.

Video #1

“And we did speak to her owner,” Stacey wrote, “and she was upset that we would not return Cherry to her. We requested the shelter press charges against Cherry’s owner, and we were ignored once again. Shameful that these people are not prosecuted for the crimes they commit against our companion animals.”

Cherry is scheduled for surgery to have her leg amputated; there is no chance that her mangled limb can be saved. The main concern at this time is that the infection has not seeped into her body causing sepsis which is fatal. Only time will tell.

Owners brought in neglected Sylvia to shelter to euthanize her

/12 Comments/in , , , /by
For years, Sylvia, a senior Yorkshire terrier, has been neglected, and when they decided she was no longer cute or worth the trouble, they brought her to a rural Texas shelter and ordered the staff to euthanize her. Instead, compassionate volunteers and personnel reached out to Rescue Dogs Rock NYC for help. How could they refuse?
“They said this senior has a lot of life to give under all the dirt, fleas and matting,” wrote Stacey Silverstein, co-founder of the non profit animal rescue organization. “Can you imagine the discomfort this poor senior is in? And as we know senior dogs rock… and are so dear to us.”
Sylvia is receiving emergency medical intervention and has been placed on intravenous drip for dehydration. In addition full blood work, her eyes cleaned and will need to be shaved under sedation.
Sadly, there has been no information about any impending investigations relative to animal neglect and cruelty. Until animal protection laws are enforced, tragedies just like this will continue. Fortunately, organizations like Rescue Dogs Rock NYC step up to help the most serious cases.

Is this really a dog? Years of neglect and abuse and thrown into a shelter

/11 Comments/in , , , , /by

Is this really a dog? Sadly, this is nine-year-old Dustin who survived a lifetime of neglect and abuse. And when his owner no longer wanted to be bothered just feeding his dog, Dustin was surrendered to a high kill shelter in rural Texas – left alone on a cold, dirty floor with no one to care and soon to die.

 

And here is Dustin’s video introduction. Just check out his condition; he is matted, his skin is infected and he is filthy. Tragically, the dog is blind now because no one bothered to treat his dry eyes with a simple, inexpensive prescription.

Before it was too late for this tiny senior, Rescue Dogs Rock NYC stepped forward to save him on Monday.

Video#1

Early Tuesday morning, Dustin arrived at the rescue’s partner veterinarian; his condition was even worse than expected.

“We are absolutely horrified at Dustin’s condition which is even worse than we thought,” Stacey Silverstein, co-founder of the Rescue Dogs Rock NYC, posted on Facebook to update followers and animal advocates.  “Dustin is covered in fleas and ticks, bites, mats; his eyes are closed shut and completely infected. He’s sadly blind now from neglect and failure to treat his dry eye.”

Just look at the poor pup’s back and tail. He is hairless and his skin is red and infected. No nine-year-old senior dog should ever have been so neglected.

Today Dustin begins a new chapter of his life – he will be bathed, shaved and examined. His medical needs are the first priority. Welcome to your new life Dustin.

Update on pup found with TWO severely embedded collars

/6 Comments/in , , , , , /by

A stray dog found wandering near a rural church in Georgia has shattered the hearts of everyone at an emergency veterinarian hospital on Sunday. In one of the most egregious cases of pure neglect, the dog wore TWO severely embedded collars around his neck. In the middle of the embedded collars, a huge mass exists.

Rescue Dogs Rock NYC responded to the 911 call and made arrangements to help the young dog they have named Isiah and agreed to assume all financial responsibilities for the dog’s care.

“Our hearts are shattered and at the same time, our blood is boiling,” stated the rescue organization’s co-founder Jackie O’Sullivan. “Can you imagine his pain, suffering, feelings of complete desperation and helplessness?”

On Monday morning, Isiah was transferred from the veterinarian who administered the dog’s emergency care to the organization’s partner veterinary hospital. The following video shows the next chapter beginning in Isiah’s new life:

“We have learned it took 2 weeks to finally catch him at that GA church. Poor baby is so scared. The embedded collars have been removed but the wounds need to be closed & that mass addressed,” co-founder of Rescue Dogs Rock NYC, Jackie O’Sullivan posted on Facebook early Monday afternoon.

Isiah has comfortably settled in to his temporary shelter as he will be prepared for surgery once all of his testing has been completed. In the mean time, this sweet dog already planted a kiss on his veterinarian’s face. Yes, Isiah knows he is being helped, and there really are kind people in the world.

Stray dog found at Georgia church with TWO severely embedded collars

/7 Comments/in , , , , , /by

A stray dog found wandering near a rural church in Georgia has shattered the hearts of everyone at an emergency veterinarian hospital on Sunday. In one of the most egregious cases of pure neglect, the dog wore TWO severely embedded collars around his neck. In the middle of the embedded collars, a huge mass exists.

Rescue Dogs Rock NYC responded to the 911 call and made arrangements to help the young dog they have named Isiah.

“Our hearts are shattered and at the same time, our blood is boiling,” stated the rescue organization’s co-founder Jackie O’Sullivan. “Can you imagine his pain, suffering, feelings of complete desperation and helplessness?”

The first video speaks for itself. WARNING: Extremely graphic and disturbing video showing the dog’s injuries as veterinarian staff clean up the dog’s wounds)

Isiah knew he had finally met someone who would help him. When he was cornered at the church, he was terrified, but knowing this was his last hope, he allowed his rescuer to capture him.

There is a huge mass between the two embedded and constricted collars. It is not known if the collars caused the mass or if there is another physical issue. Isiah has been sedated; the videos shown as the veterinarian staff clean out his wounds, are being done after the dog is comfortably anesthetized.

On Monday, Isiah will be transferred to the rescue’s partner veterinarian for additional comprehensive testing and care.

“This is as bad as it gets folks,” Jackie added. “The worst embedded collar our medical team has ever seen. We hope we are in time.”

Video is extremely graphic showing veterinarian staff cleaning Isiah’s wounds and making sure all of the maggots have been killed. Isiah is sedated in the video.

Six-month-old puppy attacked by several dogs while her owner watched

/26 Comments/in , , , , , /by

A six-month-old puppy, named Bailey, was attacked by several dogs while her owner watched. For two days, the puppy’s owner did nothing to help as her wounds became infected and her strength gradually declined. On Saturday morning, Bailey was dropped off at a Texas shelter. Rescue Dogs Rock NYC were immediately notified and asked to help. She was rushed to the Emergency Veterinarian Hospital in McAllen, Texas.

“We have learned that the attack happened days ago and she sat bleeding, with no treatment as her wounds began to become infected,” co-founder of Rescue Dogs Rock NYC, Stacey Silverstein posted on the organization’s Facebook page. “By the time they brought her to the shelter yesterday, she was close to septic shock from lack of treatment and severely anemic from loss of blood.”

Tragically, Bailey is paying the price for her owner’s negligence. The puppy continues to fight for her life and is too weak at this time to undergo surgery needed to repair and close up the deepest bites and abrasions. Bailey has already been administered two blood transfusions.

The bottom video shows  Bailey sitting on the bench in the reception area at the shelter in shock, bleeding out, critically injured and in pain, while her owners stood by, surrendered her and walked away. There are no animal cruelty charges pending.
