Paws In Need: Chicken and Grampy

Sometimes senior pets need special health care to keep them in tip-top shape. Chicken and Grampy are both senior strays that need extensive dental work. Having teeth in bad condition sounds like it could just be a small thing, just an aesthetic problem, but it can easily become life threatening. Help us save these two loveable dogs by making a safe, online donation towards their vet care by clicking on the Paypal button.








Chicken



Chicken was saved from animal control with only a few days left to live. He had been brought in as a stray and his time was up. We saved him with hopes of getting him adopted, as he has the kindest eyes and is a sweet boy. After a visit to the vet, we found out this cute little boy is 10 years old with a severe need for dental work. This is always an expensive venture but this dog deserves to life a long, healthy, happy existence. He was left unclaimed at animal control...skinny and unwanted in a previous life, Chicken has become a favorite at the humane society among staff and
visitors. Won't you help him to get the life he deserves?



Grampy



Brought to MHS by a concerned resident on a rainy day in September, Grampy immediately touched our hearts. The man who brought him to us said he'd seen the dog nearly get hit by a car several times that afternoon. The man said Grampy had been wandering for at least five days, looking for somewhere to be safe.



At 12 years old, this dog has lots of love to give, as he loves walks, cookies and being around people and other dogs. He rides well in the car and is a lot of fun to be around. He is spunky & energetic despite his age, in fact a lot of people who visit have no idea he is twelve!



However, after several trip to the vets, we have learned that Grampy has an extensive list of medical needs (dental work, thyroid tests) that will take a bit of time, and a lot of money, so he can get completely healthy and live out the rest of his days without discomfort. We need help as our budget is small, but we feel this dog has so much to offer to a perspective owner. This 8 1/2 pounds of love is a joy to have around and is still as smart as whip. He is as loving as he is goofy. He was brought to MHS for his second chance. Won't you help him find it?
