Tears for George and hope for me.
Yesterday, I got wind of a young english bulldog puppy who has been to hell and back and he's not even 2 years of age.
George was surrendered to a shelter by a 'human' who said that he found him in the streets. The shelter staff did not believe that this was really what had happened but they could not prove anything.
George was placed in a crate and he just sat there with both his eyes sealed shut with infection.
I got a call about this sweet soul and after seeing his pictures and hearing his story, we decided to change his life and call him 'George.'
George has demodex mange all over his body. So much, that one cannot even see that he is a beautiful brindle and white bulldog. He also requires entropion surgery in both of his eyes which should have been done a long time ago.
After a few hours of frantically making calls and getting a plan in place, George visited by Bernice who is a wonderful associate helping CNWB do what we do. Bernice could not believe how gentle and loving George was when she first got him ready to get on with his new life. She gently took him out of his cage and got him into a crate to go immediately to the vet for treatment and surgery.
The shelter staff as well as everyone who has seen the pictures of George is horrified. How could anyone do this to a young pup who only asked to be loved? George is estimated at 14-18 months of age. The staff helped George get out of the shelter and get to the vet and I would like to extend a huge thank you to Anna who helped George get on with the next chapter of his life.
George is now at a vet hospital in LA where he will be getting the surgery necessary to fix both of his eyes. He will also receive treatment for his demodex and his infections and before you know it, George will be on the road to recovery and to a brand-new life.
In the last 24 hours, we have received over 300 emails about George. Some wanted to adopt him although most were just interested in how he was doing and wanted to follow up on his progress as he enters Chapter 2 of his brand new life.
George will be released from the hospital in 4-5 days and then will be going into foster-care to mend and get over the abuses of his past. At this point, George will be available for adoption.
The abuses that some people do to these dogs is incredibly heart-breaking. We slam others and find ways to get back at them for their supposed 'ills' that they have done to us.
We all would be better served following the path that George took. He has forgiven us for what he endured and he comes back with only caring, kindness and hope for the future.
The world is an ugly place filled with evil people hell bent on ruining the lives of others. If only we would step down off of our high horses and look into the eyes of this dog and see that although they are inferior to humans, they have way more compassion and love than I have ever seen in anyone.
Welcome to your new life, George.

Have you ever wondered what its like to run a dog rescue?
This page will highlight items of interest to people involved in our rescue and families that are looking for a new family pet.
Here you will find stories that sum up the life and times of being involved in a "dog rescue". Some of them might not be "purdy" but they are honest. It takes a certain kind of people to do what all rescues do. They should ALL be commended for their own piece in the task of saving dogs one at a time.
