Gabbi
UPDATE 5/13/10: Gabbi had her final skin scrape today which came back negative! She is clear of mange and ready to be adopted!  
Gabbi is an 8 month old puppy who has had a very tough start in life. She was in a happy and loving home as a little pup, when her owner died. She ended up at a kill shelter where she started showing signs of Demodex Mange. The shelter did a scrape and said that it came up negative, so she sat in the shelter for a month without treatment while getting worse and worse.
The shelter knew that there was something wrong with her, but didn't have the funds to treat her. She then went on the "To be euthanized list". We received an email from a nice woman in West Virginia asking if we could take her in. Our rescue group said yes, so they drove her out here.

When we first saw her, we couldn't believe our eyes. Here was this extremely scared puppy, crying in pain. We were afraid to touch her because we didn't know if she was contagious or not. We didn't want to pet her because she had open bloody sores all over her body and we knew that it would be painful. Until she went to the vet the next day, we couldn't allow her near any other animals and had to put her in a crate by herself. As you can see in the photos, she has these sores from the top of her head to the tips of her feet. She couldn't stand the itching so she continued to scratch which would make her scabs even worse.
The next day we took her to the vet. We went to Banfield in the Petsmart in Orchard park so that Dr. Roberts could take a look at her. The vet tech along with Dr. Roberts, were at a loss for words! All they could say is "Poor baby"! I mean just look at her....Unfortunately, she had to scrape her skin in a couple of various areas so that they could look at it under the microscope. It was really hard to watch, because she was in such pain as it was and now she had to have the skin scraped which would cause more pain.
Dr. Roberts came back and told us that she had Demodex Mange which is caused by a microscopic mite that lives in the dogs skin. She said that she saw every stage of mite on her (Ovum, Larva, Protonymph, Nymph, & adult). She also said that she had a rather high temperature along with a secondary infection from not being treated. She gave us special shampoo, Ivermectin, along with some antibiotics.
Gabbi is now in a wonderful foster home, getting the care and love that she needs! Please help us cover Gabbi's medical care. As soon as she gets healthy, this sweet and loving puppy will be able to be put up for adoption and go to her new forever home. Thank you to Dr Roberts along with the team at Banfield along with Lisa and Aaron, her foster mom and dad!

Noodles is a 2-3 year old Beagle mix dog who came to us from a kill shelter in KY. She weighs around 35 pounds. She was supposed to be spayed prior to her arrival but she wasn't, so after having her for about a week we realized that she was pregnant. Noodles and her 6 babies are all up for adoption. This mom is very loving, sweet, and playful. She is quiet in the house and obeys. She is good with other dogs from what we can tell. She was grumpy towards other dogs when she was pregnant, but is currently in a foster home with a doggie friend. We are not sure how she is with cats because we haven't seen her around any. She is great with children but we have not seen her around any under the age of 8. Due to her sweet disposition we are confident that she would do well with young kids. She is good with her food, no issues there and has not shown any signs of aggression since we have had her. Noodles is crate trained although she prefers not being in one and potty trained. She will follow you around the house and just wants to be loved!!! She is up to date on her shots, dewormed, given a bordatella vaccination, tested negative for heart worms, and will either be spayed prior to adoption or come with a spay certificate. If you think that she might be the one for you please contact us at 716-208-7747. Our email address is pawsandclawsanimalshelter@yahoo.com.

Chalulu is an adorable 4 month old female English Springer Spaniel mix puppy who weighs around 20 pounds. She was given away free at the side of the road and told that individual who took her that she was hit by a car. This would explain why she was limping on her front leg. We took her to the Vet and they told us that this was an old injury and that she had two broken bones. They said that she is not in pain and that we should wait a month to see if it heals on it's own prior to making a decision on whether surgery is needed or not. Right now she does limp but gets around good. We are allowing her to go to a foster to adopt home. This is where the adopter puts down a deposit and takes her home. The puppy is technically the adopters puppy, but we will still be responsible to pay for her surgery in a month's time if it is needed. After we get the 2nd opinion from the Vet then the adoption can be finalized. Otherwise she can be adopted out right but then the adopter is responsible for any further medical treatment. Chalulu is an amazingly sweet and loving puppy. She is friendly, playful, and LOVES children. She perks up when she sees kids playing. She is EXCELLENT with all dogs that she meets and is good with cats also. This little girl has the softest fur and is aboslutely stunning! Chalulu is crate trained and potty trained. She is a quiet girl who enjoys being held, cuddled, and loved. Sheh is up to date on her shots, dewormed, and will come with a spay certificate. If you are interested in meeting her please call or text us at 716-208-7747. Our email address is pawsandclawsanimalshelter@yahoo.com.

Meet Tugger. He is a sweet, cuddly affectionate cat about 3 years old. He just wants to be loved, held and played with. Tugger is just waiting for someone to shower him with love and attention. He would do best in a home with female cats or a calm male. He is up to date on vaccinations, dewormed and neutered. He MUST be kept on a monthly flea preventative, if you have a dog, as he is highly prone to flea dermatitis if exposed to fleas. If interested in meeting him please call or text 716-308-0101 or email bpckitties@hotmail.com. To speed up the process fill out an adoption application.
