Hunter needs some food.
As you can see, he had been neglected. He is now in my home where he is being well-fed and loved. I didn’t expect this visitor. In fact, I have already exhausted my meager monthly income and have no means whereby I may continue to feed him.
Please see my wish list for items that Hunter needs or you can help via my Paypal account MrHolise@gmail.com
Highlights include:
-expert opinions from veterinarians and animal nutritionist enthusiasts on plant-based diets
-health survey on dogs fed a vegan diet versus commercial based
-comprehensive lists of “people” foods that are beneficial to dogs and those that are harmful
-recipes for biscuits and treats as well as more substantial fare
“This is Misty! She was pulled from Rhea county as a biter. She is now with us, and this is her third hair cut. Finally looks like a poodle! She is meeting her potential adopter tomorrow, she will be the only dog in the home, living with a single lady on 15 acres and two horses!! Keep your fingers crossed that Linda loves her as much as we do!!” ~ Monika Turner, Hunde House Rescue

A Marine and a disabled MWD (military war dog) are in the fight of their lives: trying to spend their lives together as friends after fighting side by side in Iraq. Now Megan Leavey and Rex have some power in their corner.

Influential New York State Senator Chuck Schumer has already written a letter to the secretary of the Air Force, which is responsible for all training and adoptions of MWDs at Lackland Air Force Base. We hope to do our part by creating more awareness of Megan’s efforts to give Rex, her battle buddy and savior, the life he deserves in a loving home.
Both suffered serious injuries following the explosion of an IED (improvised explosive device) in Iraq, and spent almost a year recovering from their respective injuries. Since separating from service in 2007 with a Purple Heart, Megan has been trying to adopt Rex. Until recently, he was considered too valuable as a working dog and her requests were denied. However, Rex was diagnosed recently with a type of nerve paralysis that has left him – Camp Pendleton’s oldest active service dog – unable to serve.
We don’t know if sharing this story can do more than a letter from a well-known senator. After all, we’re not famous or connected. But at Pets for Patriots, we believe the power of people can inspire great things. Several months ago a simple blog post saved Rocky, another disabled, retired MWD who faced a very bleak future; as a result of our post, Rocky was saved.
Although we have no information that Megan will not ultimately be allowed to adopt Rex, we hope he can serve the rest of his days in the loving companionship of his best friend Megan.
How can you help? Just share this story; good goes around!
