MICKEY NEEDS NEEDS YOUR HELP!!!
Mickey was dumped outside of the shelter and a Good Samaritan picked him up to try and get him some help. The poor baby had a bulging injured eye and obviously needed help right away. The shelter informed her that they did not accept strays and that the dog would be taken to another shelter if left there, or put down. This was an unacceptable answer to the Good Samaritan. She contacted us and it was no question that we would help sweet little Mickey.
Mickey is visiting the vet as we speak (3:30 Friday, 5/9/08) and his eye as well as general health will be assessed - heartworm tested, teeth checked, etc. We know that there is going to be eye surgery in Mickey's future, we just don't know the extent. He will likely need a specialist for this delicate work and here is where you come in!!! PLEASE consider a donation to sweet Mickey's future! No amount is too small! He is a gem of a little dog, great personality, not the typical shaky scared nippy Chi, but a sweet gentle loving soul.

Thanks so much!! Little Mickey thanks you too!
UPDATE 7:36 PM, 5/9/08 - The vet said Micky's eye had been like that for more than a couple of days. Can you imagine the suffering he has endured? Poor little thing. His eye cannot be saved and will have to be removed. The good news is that he is heartworm negative and a young dog, estimated to be only about a year old. He will have his surgery on Monday and will also get his neuter then and some disiduous baby teeth pulled. He is on antibiotics, pain meds and is in pretty good spirits. Please keep him in your thoughs and prayers!
Mickey truly HATED his e-collar when we first tried it on him, but he has tried to scratch his eye so after some much getting used to, he will leave it on. He is eating normally and being the sweet little guy he has been from the beginning. Once healed he will be available for adoption to his loving FOREVER home. He is a very special guy and we aim to find just as special people to care for and love him.
Thank you to all who have donated to Mickey's surgery thus far. We appreciate it more than words can say! If you are still interested in donating, please click the button above. Your name will be added to our CLABR Angels page (unless you prefer us not to). Please continue to keep little Mickey in your thoughs and prayers!
UPDATE 5/12/08 - Mickey had his surgery and all went well. He also got his neuter and his extra baby teeth removed. He is a very sore fellow, but still wags his tail and loves all people. What a wonderful spirit!!!
