Sitka
We see plenty of mange cases. When a dog is not a priority to a human and the level of care declines, the immune system is depleted and the mange mites take over. Mange can be easily treated. But when not treated you end up covered in secondary infections like poor Sitka. Her skin is raw, bleeding and terribly uncomfortable.
She is being treated on multiple levels for internal and external repair of her skin, immune system and overall health improvement due to the deplorable condition she came to BRLA
Please consider donating any amount to Sitka's Medical Lifeline to expedite her healing and returning to a beautiful boxer so she can find a home
Herbie
Yes this is how Herbie was found in a local kill shelter. This massive tumor started out as a little lump and could have been an easy fix. Sadly no treatment was provide to Herbie and the tumor grew and grew.
It needs to come of and we are hoping the removal will set Herbie on the path to a new home and a wonderful life.
Please consider donating any amount to Herbies' Medial Lifeline
Gracie
Gracie was dropped off at local kill shelter by her owner because he did not have the money to pay for her medical treatment. She is in overall poor health but the biggest concern is her left elbow is either dislocated or there is a proximal fracture close to the elbow joint. It is sadly a race against time to see if her leg can be saved.
We need to get Gracie the care her owners were not able to as she is only 2 years old and loves dogs and kids. She deserves a chance and with your help can get that.

Augie
Augie has been patiently waiting for the right person to see what a catch he is for way too long at BRLA. He is a little older, a little grumpy which are actually very endearing qualities. He just needs someone to recognize this about him. We discovered a large and now bleeding tumor on the back side of his rear foot. The mass cell has come to the surface and broke through.
It is in a very difficult area to get it all out and be able to close the skin. The vets have him on a two week round of high dose Prednisone to shrink the mass as much as possible so when removed the cleanest margins are possible and there is some skin left to close.
Augie didn't need one more thing that a potentail adopter would look at and pass on him. Please consider donating any amount to Augies Medical Lifeline so he can find that home he has been longing for.
Estimated cost: $650
Oscar
If this face looks happy, it is. Oscar is a big puppy getting bigger every day. He was adopted as a very young gangly pup. He was all legs and they seemed to go every which way. Like a cartoon Bugs Bunny. As he grew it became apparent there was something not quite right in his leg. He was put on limited exercise which for a bouncing boxer boy was about as frustrating as it gets.
Oscar needs to have his ACL repaired. He is doing really well with training at BRLA but cannot do more than walk, sit and stay due to the need of the surgery.
Please consider helping Oscar get sound again so he can start to run again and then all will come together with mind, body and spirit. Oscar will then be truly happy.
Estimated cost: $1500

Swift
This little girl started her stay at BRLA handicapped as she is likely part Pit. That DNA alone often makes it harder to find a home due to lack of breed education. But Swift found a home. Sadly she injured her leg in that home and instead of returning her to BRLA they left her at vet to be euthanized.
BRLA got her back and she does need ACL repair surgery. It is costly and requires lengthy recovery with cage rest. Whatever the cost and hardship during recovery Swift deserves the chance to become whole again so she can start over again. She is a wonderful Boxer mix that needs to be fixed first then join a family of her own. Please consider helping Swift.
ACL surgery estimated at $1500
Please donate any amount to Swifts Medical Lifeline fund
