Rally Collie & Spaniel Mix Plain City, OH

Rally has quite the "tail" to tell! He was rescued from a high-kill shelter in Licking County after one of our volunteers attended a protest rally there to end the use of the gas chamber. Sadly, many rural shelter still use this out-dated, cruel method to end an animal's life. Hence Rally's name. Rally was recently adopted by his forever family. Very shortly thereafter, Rally became VERY ill and was taken to MedVet for emergency surgery. It appears that before he came into rescue he had been severely neglected. His intestines became very infected due to parasites that went untreated for a long time and undiagnosed in rescue. This uncommon condition known as intussusception results in very expensive surgery to remove the bad portion of the intestines. His prognosis for survival before surgery was 50/50. We are happy to report that Rally made it through surgery and the first days of recovery. He was at MedVet in intensive care for several days. We are covering the cost of his surgery and recovery, which we anticipate will be in excess of $3000. Any finacial assistance to help Rally is greatly appreciated, even a small donation of $5 will help. You can donate through our PayPal account or mail a check to P.O. Box 369, Marysville, Ohio 43040. We recently received an update from Rally\'s new family. " . . . Fritz (Rally) is doing very well . . . He still tires easily and has started his regimine of B-12 injections, but can handle evening walks and playing with our other dogs . . . Fritz is a super dog. He is a HUGE cuddler and loves to be touching you at all times. He is showing his herding abilities with the entire family. He makes sure everyone has returned from the back yard before we shut the door and is known to return to the yard to hurry our slowpoke, Zeus. When we walk to the park, the sidewalk is too narrow for he and my husband to walk alongside my son and I with the stroller. Since this is the case, he walks behind us so he can keep everyone in view. If he walks in front, he continually turns to see us and runs into Joe. He is also very protective of Liam. Liam fell from a chair last week and started crying. Fritz got there before I did and licked him into giggles . . . Thank you, again, for bringing Fritz to our family and allowing us to enjoy his fabulous spirit!!!"
