March Madness - Major Mississippi Rescue
"March Madness" has a whole new meaning for Rescue. Instead of watching basketball players run up and down the court, we have been watching eight Irish Setters running amuck in the woods of Mississippi. Around the middle of February their owner passed away. For some time, the family had been paying a guy to feed them every four days. Their enclosure was not secure at all, and they had been left to fend for themselves for a long time in a large rural, unfenced, area. We learned of this on March 2nd. Our Rescue team went into action. We were able to get three of the dogs right away. The others proved to be a little more of a challenge. We did capture three more, but the last two have been more difficult. The area is so wooded and overgrown that it is impossible to follow them, and they are not willing to come to us. We have been feeding them, and with the use of a trapping cage, we hope to be successful soon. April 18 update:  The last 2 Irish have been captured! Clancey and O'Malley are safe and are undergoing treatments for their fleas & ticks. And then will need additional treatments for heartworm, in addition to spay surgery. THANK YOU to everyone for your well-wishes, concerns and prayers - and your DONATIONS!  Without your help, rescue would not be possible. In the meantime, the six dogs that we have were full of fleas, ticks, and worms, and were suffering from anemia. They have all tested positive for heartworms. The first three are in their foster homes, with the next three moving in the next few days. Of course, there have been many helping hands in capturing and moving all these dogs. Melanie Fuelling, Carolyn Kerner, and Bonnie Foster have done the yeomen's job here. There are three things that we will need: 1. Funds - Heartworm treatment is not cheap. These dogs range in age from three to eight years. Along with the heartworm treatment, we, of course, need to get them spayed/neutered, current on vaccinations, and any other medical care that they may need to pull them through so they can begin their second-chance at life. 2. Foster Care - They will need to be in foster care for at least two months. 3. Forever Homes - Yes, once they are recovered they will need their own homes where they will continue to get the TLC that we are now providing them. From the messages we have received from some of the first foster homes, these dogs sure seem to enjoy being in a home where people love them. They are responding quite well. Tax-deductible contributions can be made to the ISCA Foundation, or Magnolia Setter Rescue. Other donations can be made to ISCA Rescue.
