8-07-09 It is with a heavy heart that we announce Miss Maggie has gone to the Rainbow Bridge. She was loved on by a wonderful volunteer in St. Cloud, Minnesota for the last 5 months who was with her in the end. Thanks to those who donated funds for her care.
UPDATE 03-01-09: After being in her adopted home for 3 years, Maggie needs to find a new place to retire. Upon arrival we were shocked to see the condition she was in after receiving her from her previous owner. Maggie was treated for heartworm disease in 2006 and we thought was being cared for properly. Sadly- Maggie's health is not great and much of her geriatric care has been neglected. Also instead of being around 11 years old- we estimate Maggie to be closer to 14.
Upon arrival we took her immediately to the vet to run some much needed blood work, a fecal to check for intestinal parasites and also some chest X-rays to see the condition of her heart and lungs. As she is overweight and stiff- we also wanted to check if she has severe arthritis.
This poor old girl- she has had a rough life. Maggie is not adoptable at this point. We do need sponsors for her long term care and to off set the cost of her recent vetting expenses. If you have ever had a wonderful old dog be a part of your life, please help us give Maggie the quality care she deserves with a donation.
8 Ways You Can Save A Life
Shop for custom calendars, mugs and T-shirts at our Café Press fundraising website and choose merchandise featuring Pointers, Setters, Hunting Dogs or Friendly Mutts. All of our calendar stars are rescued dogs that would have been euthanized in shelters across the Mid-West had IBR not stepped in to save them. Your support does make a difference!!
Check out our new Ebay Store with fundraising shirts featuring several birddog breeds like Pointers, Setters, GSP's, Vizslas, and Labradors. All purchases will help off set our high vetting expenses and may also help pay for food for some of our long term senior and special needs foster dogs in rescue. Please click on the Ebay icon for more info.
Become an IBR foster home and help give a rescued dog or puppy a second chance at a new happy life. The work and dedication of the current IBR foster families can be seen by clicking HERE! You are not just fostering a dog, you are joining a birddog family! If you would like to become a foster home and join our enthusiastic group of birddog lovers, please fill out an online foster home application.
Make a donation or sponsor a homeless dog. Illinois Birddog Rescue has always prided itself in not turning away any sick and injured dogs; animals that most shelters would have euthanized. We have saved many dogs with heartworm, tick borne illnesses, broken legs, missing legs, blind dogs, a new deaf puppy, dogs suffering from Parvo and especially senior dogs that may need expensive health care to help them get ready for adoption. In February of 2006, in one weekend, we brought in 20+ dogs from the Boat Mountain Tragedy, and that depleted our emergency funds. Please help us continue to help those birddogs that have suffered terrible abuse and suffering by making an online donation here:
Your donation will not go unnoticed. In addition to helping save lives, when you donate your name will be added to the Illinois Birddog Rescue Donations and Rescue Sponsor List.
