REST IN PEACE SWEET TY… 11-23-11 – Ty’s wonderful foster mom Linda said it best…”Sometimes love and the best medical care in the world isn’t enough. This is one of these times. Ty, my very special foster boy went to heaven. As I held him in my arms during his last moments I told him about all of the people who loved him and cared so much about him, people most of which hadn’t even met him but were touched by his story and wanted so much for him to get well. I cried because he almost had it all, a home a family, people who would love him and keep him safe forever. I realized though, that he did have a family, he had ALL of us. Every person who contributed to his care, sent positive thoughts or prayed for him was part of his family. We didnâ??t have him for long but I know in my heart that he knew we loved him, and that he was home. So good bye for now little Ty- thank you for reminding us that rescue is not always easy; we don’t always get the happy ending we want for every animal but we have to keep trying and celebrate every time a dog gets a family, not only for that dog but for all the dogs out there who need us to care and try our best to help them.

RIP sweet boy, run free at the bridge without any pain, strong and happy. Thank you for being part of our lives, if only for a little while.”

While the special pup didn’t get the happy ending we all hoped for, he was well loved and cared for and that is all any dog can ask for. RDV needs our help in paying off Ty’s expenses so they can continue their good works in his memory. Please consider making a memorial donation for Ty this holiday season and be thankful for groups like Rescue Dog Village Guardian, Inc. who are so very committed to dogs in their program.

Our “very good boy” Ty is very sick….

Rescue Dog Village Guardian, Inc. saw a picture online of a sad little Golden Retriever mix in a Louisiana pound in early August and wanted to help. Despite being in CT, they had formed a great relationship with PAWS of NE LA and the 2 groups had vbeen working together to help dogs at the crowded Ouachita Parish Shelter. PAWS of NE LA bailed Ty out of the pound on August 8th and took him straight to the vet where he was neutered and examined. Ty had an upper respiratory infection and tested positive for heartworm and intestinal worms. Rescue Dog Village Guardian, Inc. never waivered in their committment to the little dog. His Louisiana foster mom Samantha deemed him “a very good boy” and everyone who has met him agrees! Ty was treated for heartworm down in Louisiana and headed up north a happy and healthy boy on October 28th.

He had several great adopters waiting to meet him but first he was to be loved and spoiled by his foster mom Linda up in Maine to give him time to settle in and relax. A few days after transport he came down with a cough and upper respiratory infection. We weren’t extremely worried as Ty left Louisiana with temperatures in the 80s and arrived north in a snowstorm. Linda took Ty straight to the vet and he began treatment for his issues. Even though he was on antibiotics and under the care of a wonderful vet, Ty became even more sick. His temperature spiked, he had difficulty breathing and his eye were nearly swolen shut. Back to the vet he went and this time they referred Ty to a nearby round the clock vet hospital where he was put in an oxygen chamber and could get constant care.

Ty was released from 24 hour care late last week but is still a very sick boy. His medical bills are in the thousands of dollars and he is still not out of the woods. Everyone at Rescue Dog Village Guardian, Inc. is doing all they can to help Ty through because at the end of this suffering and sickness is a loving home waiting with open arms and lots of kisses. Ty deserves this happy ending and we are going to do our very best to make sure he gets it!

PLEASE PLEASE HELP – Our beloved Ty is very very sick and we have already spent almost ,000 for his care. We did not think he was going to make it but they released him today, however, he is still going to need a lot of medical treatment to take him the rest of the way.

More details about his condition will be available soon so please check back. You can leave your thoughts and well wishes on Ty’s blog below. His foster has been through 2 weeks of sleepless nights, time off of work and trips to the vet. Your support will mean a lot to  her.

Ty expenses are still growing and he is still a very sick boy. Everyone who meets him just adores him. The emergency care office doctors and techs made us promise that we would let them know how he is doing. There is just something very special about him. All donors will be kept updated on his progress however if you ever have any questions, please just email: rescuedogvillage@yahoo.com and we will make sure all your questions are updated.

Ty is a 1 year old male and when we asked his foster mom about him, her very first words were that he is a good boy. She describes him as very gentle and quiet; gets along with everyone dogs, people, cats, farm animals and has been a pleasure to foster. He is a little on the shy side and ‘spooks’ easily, but he warms up to people quickly and is gaining confidence every day.
