This is Nixon. He was entered into the PBRSD program at 4 months old. His immune system didn't kick in when it was supposed to, and the people caring for him did not care for him adequately. They ended up dumping him in a shelter where he would have certainly been euthanized. He ended up with all this nasty little pustules all over his body. When the pustules broke, they left little craters in his skin which were sore and gross. Additionally, he had two broken wrists. No one is certain whether they broke because of poor nutrition or because someone broke them for him.
The costs for treating Nixon were extensive and pushed the limits of the PBRSD funds and personal bank accounts. Even though he had sponsors, the bills exceeded that which the generosity of his angels could cover. However the gals were determined that Nixon would get all the treatment necessary to make him a healthy and happy little boy. He will never be beautiful on the outside but the PBRSD medical and foster program helped show him to be stunning on the inside.
Nixon was adopted in 2006 and is living a life of spoiled luxury with his new mom. You'd better believe he's still milking the illnesses.
Sponsor a Rescue
This is a program to help make a difference for individual rescue dogs. Even if you cannot adopt a dog, you can still help save a life. By sponsoring a dog in need, you can help pay for his/her food, medical care and other things that help provide a great quality of life while they wait for their forever home, and enable us to save even more dogs in need...
If you look under the names of our 'Adoptable Dogs', you can see which ones need a sponsor. The dogs in RED are in desperate need of sponsorship. The ones in YELLOW are partially sponsored, and the ones in GREEN are fully sponsored.
Please click on your chosen sponsorship level below to sponsor a homeless dog, and don't forget to let us know which dog you would like to sponsor. Let us know your name and/or the name of your company so that we can add it below your sponsored dog. Note that only the minimum amount donated makes you eligible to have your name as a sponsor.
Godparent - minimum $35/month
You pledge to make a minimum $35 monthly donation until your sponsored dog is placed. This helps to cover basic veterinary care, food, and grooming. You will receive a 'signed' photograph of your sponsored dog, a personal Thank You card, and frequent updates on how he/she is doing.
Guardian Angel - minimum $200 one time donation
The Guardian Angel Program is open to those who want to sponsor the medical care of a rescue dog in need. Many times the unwanted dogs in the shelter are the ones that someone else neglected and threw away. Often they have resolvable but expensive medical issues to bring them back to the beautiful animal God meant for them to be. We enjoy saving these wonderful animals because somehow they know that you are giving them much more than a second chance. Often the costs for treatment run into the thousands. You will receive a 'signed' photograph of your sponsored dog, a personal Thank You card, a Certificate of Guardian Angelship, and frequent updates on how he/she is doing.
Good Samaritan - minimum $100 one time donation
PBRSD could use a paw with the bailing cost of the dogs we take from the shelter. This will cover spay/neuter, pull fee, microchip, license and vaccinations. You will receive a 'signed' photograph of your sponsored dogs and frequent updates on how he/she is doing.
