Kahlua is a 2 year old Toy Chihuahua weighing in at 2.5 pounds. When the call came from the animal shelter that she needed rescue or would be put to sleep, there was no hesitation to get her to safety. She has 2 broken rear legs and will be undergoing the placement of plates in both legs. This will be a difficult surgery due to her legs being so tiny but the vet seems to think it will be a successful one. However, amputation of one of the legs is a possibility, due to the severity of the break.
UPDATE: Kahlua has had her first surgery and is doing well. A pin was drilled through the center of her left femur holding her bones in place. Monday the 19th, Kahlua will undergo her second surgery. Pins will be installed in her right leg in order to hold her bones together in place. She will then be on cage rest for the next several weeks. 
Please help us help her; she is under the care of Furry Pals Rescue and will no doubt be given the attention that she deserves. Anything that you can give to help will be greatly appreciated. A $5 donation will go a long, long way!
Kodiak was rescued from Barc, the Houston city shelter on July 8th. He weighs 69 lbs so imagine what he will end up weighing when he's fully fattened up! He is extremely loving despite the fact that Kodiak has clearly been the victim of neglect abuse. He likes both men and women and likes kids. Kodiak will undergo surgery for his neck where an embedded collar was found and removed. As you see, the embedded collar has left quite a nasty mess on Kodiak's neck. If interested in fostering or adopting Kodiak, please contact at furrypals@live.com

Meet Candy, a female Min Poodle. She suffered from a broken ankle. Candy has already had her surgery where pins where placed in her leg to hold the fractured bones in place. Now, Candy has been ordered cage rest and we are waiting to see if this procedure will work. Should it not work due to the break being too severe, Candy will have to have her leg amputated.
Why we do what we do. Meet Momma and her two babies, Gin and Juice. All three were scheduled to be put to sleep due to their condition. How pathetic is that. Momma (later re-named Nadide) was thankfully rescued by Anatolian Rescue and Furry Pals took in her two babies where they were immediately placed in isolation for a few weeks. They were treated for mange and now live very happy lives with their new families. Juice was adopted by the mother of the lady who adopted Gin! The girls will now grow up to actually know one another. By far, one of our happiest stories. Thank you J Malik for your hard work and dedication to making sure that these beautiful angels were transported safely to rescue. This is a happy story made possible by you. Best of luck Gin and Juice, we will miss you both!
BEFORE (on the day of rescue): 
Meet Coconut. We found Coconut on the floor of one of the kennel runs at BARC (the local Houston shelter). Coconut was very pale, grey gums and very lathergic. He was in tremendous pain. We rushed him over to BCAC Dr Lejeune where she immediately placed him on fluids. He was shaved down so that we could identify the extent of his injuries. Clearly, Coconut had been attacked by another animal. He underwent immediate surgery and tubes have been stratigically placed to drain infection from his body. He is now in the process of recovering and not a happy camper. Who would be! Please consider helping with his medical expenses!! Coconut will need a foster home once released from the vet's care.
*** UPDATE: Coconut is healing beautifully!!! He allows me to pet him and he loves chicken and cheeseburgers! Coconut will soon be coming home where he will begin the process of being trained. We are so proud of you Coconut and THANK YOU Dr. Lejeune for ANOTHER incredible save. You and your team are priceless and SO precious to us. Here are updated pictures of Coconut!

Meet Pumkin. Pumkin was found on the side of the road almost dead. Dr Lejeune immediately went to work on this angel baby and he is slowly pulling through. He is not out of the woods yet! Maggets were found on his body as he had been left for dead. It will take time and lots of TLC but we're rooting for Pumkin to pull through with flying colors. Please consider donating towards his vetting bills. Needless to say, it will be high.
*** UPDATE: Sadly, Pumkin passed away and lost his battle. Rest in peace Pumkin and thank you Dr. Lejeune for trying so hard to save him. Furry Pals LOVES you!

Zoey now!
Meet sweet Zoey! Zoey was found running the streets with a horribly injured eye. When questioning people from the area, it was discovered that some jerk had made it a game to try to run over the stray dog on a daily basis!!! Zoey has now undergone a third eyelid temporary surgery and will remain in this condition for the following two weeks. After two weeks, Dr. Lejeune will remove the stitches and device to see if this will do the trick. If not, Zoey's eye will need to be removed completely. Zoey suffered from a blunt trauma to the head such as hit by a car. So, we believe that Zoey was most likely hit by a car. As of right now, Zoey does not have a foster home. If interested in adopting or fostering this angel, please contact us. *** ADOPTED!

What an adorable Min Schnauzer boy!!! Buddy was rescued from a local kill shelter and right away we noticed the horrible condition he was in. SO matted that he had to be completely shaved down. Emaciated and yelped when picked up. Upon examination, it was noted that Buddy yelped when his back was touched. Obviously, Buddy had been kicked and perhaps hit on his back leaving bruising that cannot be seen with the naked eye. We gave him pain meds and much needed bed rest until he felt better. Sadly, Buddy also tested positive for heartworms. We're not surprised considering the conditions at time of rescue. We will be putting him through heartworm treatment and need to raise about $175 to cover this expense. Buddy is a spectacular lover boy and will make a wonderful companion!

"That's why they call him Thumper!!". "THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!" is all I hear when Thumper runs or walks through the house these days! Thumper was rescued from MCAS with a cast on his rear left leg. According to our vet, this cast had been on there for at least 6 or 7 months! This meant, loss of muscle mass. Upon further x-rays, we found out that Thumper had been shot several times which explained why he wobbled on two legs only! He had been shot in the hind leg and twice in the front right paw!!! So, off came the cast on the left rear leg and on came the cast on the right from leg! Poor, poor Thumper! To boot, Thumper came down with horrible pneumonia and had to undergo breathing treatments. Now, he is fully recovered and loves life! Thumper is getting his second cast place on April 6th and then it will be removed permanently in a couple of weeks after this. If interested in adopting Thumper, please click on the adoption tab. Thumper is a happy and healthy 1 yr old pure Schnauzer with natural ears and a cropped tail. LOVES to play, play, play! Amazing what forgiving souls our Furry Pals have!

This loving and sweet puppy was in ICU for several days. His little belly was in so much pain. He was treated symptomatically but it was not working. An exploratory surgery was done to see what the problem was and Dr. LeJeune found it to be Intussuception which is a part of the intestine had folded into another section of intestine. An emergency surgery was done and 24 inches of his smaller intestines were removed. Sadly, a few inches of the intestines had already entered his colon. Sadly, Fluffy passed a couple of days after the surgery. It was too late for this little fellow. He will be missed. We love you Fluffy, rest peacefully.

This little angel was brought into Barker Cypress Animal Clinic as he did not look too good one morning. He was treated and placed on an IV. Sadly, Constantino was unable to recover and passed while sleeping. He was in ICU for a few days and we need help with the medical bills for this little man. Several tests were ran and our wonderful vet worked non stop to save him. Thank you Dr. LeJeune and team for your constant support of our furry pals. We are grateful. Kisses to our precious Constantino, may you rest in peace my friend.
On January 8, 2010, Furry Pals took in over 20 animals from a busted puppy mill from Henderson, Texas. Sadly, they were not in the best condition as to be expected. Two of them were laid to rest as we feel that their conditions were too far past a normal recovery.The Yorkshire Terriers suffered a tremendous amount of hair loss as a result of flea infestation, however, it is important to remember that the hair will grow back. They all received dental work and were all fully vetted. Furry Pals incured a huge vetting bill for these precious animals and we need your financial support. We still have quite a few of these animals but slowly, they are being adopted into wonderful loving homes. Here are a few pictures of them:

This is Chief. Chief was rescued from a local kill shelter and found to be very high heartworm positive. All of his vetting was done and Chief was placed in a foster to adopt home where he happily worked on gaining back some weight. Now that several weeks have passed, we need help getting this big boy heartworm treated. His treatment will cost approximately $300 and it needs to get done. Won't you consider helping this handsome gentle giant?

Bentley is a very handsome Labradoodle which is a mix of a labrador retriever and a standard poodle! What a dream combination! Bentley weighs about 55 lbs and is now fully grown. We anticipate him to be about 9 to 10 months old. Sadly, Bentley's previous turned him over to us because she was unable to financial afford an FHO (Femoral Head Osteotomy) surgery that Bentley needed. The procedure exposes the head section of the femur bone (the ball of the ball and socket joint), and then the head is removed. Unlike most other hip surgeries, the head of the femur is not replaced, but is allowed to heal and develop its own fibrous scar tissue so that the joint is no longer bone−to-bone, a pseudoarthrosis (also called a "false joint"). Bentley's surgery was perfomed on November 17th and NO funds have been raised yet so we are in the hole!
Bentley is now toe touching the ground is getting along just fine. He has been confined to a crate for the next few weeks and once in a while, is allowed to hang with us in the living room on a leash so that he does not "wonder off" and damage his hip. Bentley loves to be with other dogs but can over power the smaller dogs with his size. He is crate trained and so far appears to be housebroken.

PC was rescued from a local kill shelter and it was discovered upon an examination that he suffered from a gross deformity with his back left leg as seen in the above picture. It didn't look so bad until we began to watch him. PC was not able to use his leg at all as he everytime he touched the ground with it, he would whimper in pain. We played with the leg and PC became "snappy", it hurt him to have touched. Sadly, not much could be done except for an amputation. Sugery was performed at Barker Cypress Animal Clinic on November 17th. NO funds have been raised yet to pay for this surgery so we are in the hole on this one too!
PC is recovering quite nicely and seems to appreciate his new lifestyle. He moves around freely and is showing no problems with getting along. He enjoys being with other dogs but shies away from the small kids. He is learning to trust his foster humans and gladly accepts all of the loving provided to him. PC is a party poodle/Cocker Spaniel mix (we think!). He is about 1.5 yrs old and weighs about 15 lbs.

Toto is an adorable Yorkie / Terrier mix. He is about 10 months old and was rescued from a local kill shelter, MCAS. Sadly, we found Toto stuck in a kennel run being stepped on by the other dogs that were much bigger. We immediately noticed that something was wrong with him and rushed him over to the vet's office. We were shocked to find out that Toto's leg was completely shattered and had to be removed as soon as possible in order to prevent further damage and pain. His leg is scheduled to be amputated Thursday October 22nd. Toto is about 8 lbs and fully grown. Such a sweet baby who will shower you with kisses. We are very grateful to have found him and are pleased to offer him the help he so rightfully deserves. PLEASE consider donating towards his medical expenses. We are in SERIOUS need of help.

Candy is a 12 lb Pug mix female that was brought into our vet's clinic on or about October 15th. The person dropping her off said that he saw her getting hit by a car and didn't have the money to pay for her. Of course, being the wonderful person that she is, Dr. LeJeune took in this sweet little girl and began working on her right away. After x-rays, it was determined that Candy suffered from a broken pelvis and is now in the recovery stage. She will need cage rest for the following several weeks and then a nice loving home to provide the loving that she so rightfully deserves. She is heartworm negative, fully vaccinated, de-wormed, de-flea'd and spayed.
