Tulsa SPCA received a call today and agreed to take in 6 of these dogs, otherwise they would have been euthanized due to their poor health and age. These guys range from 6 to 10 years old. They are in great spirits and we will be posting pictures of them tomorrow. One of the Yorkies is blind but has a healthy appetite. We also have a Chihuahua that has infections in both eyes, but is being treated by our vet and clinic staff. Another Yorkie is not eating, so we are starting him on less nutritious dog food and slowly switching him over to a healthy diet. Many of these dogs have been fed the cheapest dog food available and have not gotten the proper nutrients, which causes the poor skin conditions and hair loss. Once we get them to eat we will slowly switch them over to healthy food; then we will see a change in their skin and behavior.
Without the generous donations of our wonderful supporters, Tulsa SPCA would not have been able to bring in these other six dogs. We had already received 25 rescues last week from a breeder closing their doors and were at our limit. Our clinic staff did some re-arranging in the clinic to make room for these six sickly guys and gals, so these dogs could have a second chance at a wonderful life.
Below is a video from NewsOn6. Some of the puppies shown on this video came to Tulsa SPCA for care and will soon find their new family.
