Talia was hit by a car and taken to the shelter. We knew when we got the call that her vet bills could be high and we didn’t have much to spare but she was in so much pain when we got the call we could not say no.
he will be on bed rest for six weeks with acupuncture treatments for the nerve damage she has sustained. The estimate for her surgery and follow up care is about $4,000 but we couldn’t say no. She as sweet as they get and trusts that we will take care of her.
Lulu is completely blind at 2 years old from cataracts. We think she deserves to see for the rest of her life so we are going to make it happen. We are so grateful for your support that allows us to give Lulu this precious gift.
This year for every $25 donation towards Lulu’s cataract surgery we will enter you 15 times in our Spring Fundraiser drawing. We are giving away $500, $250 and $250 at each of our Annual Picnics. The first drawing will be at our Sacramento annual picnic on June 22 and the second will be at the Santa Barbara picnic on July 20th. Don’t forget to reserve your spot at the Picnic!
Annie was a back yard dog her whole life until she was put in the Stockton shelter for us to find. She came to us blind from juvenile cataracts at only 2-4 years old and mats as big as baseballs in her ears, but that sweet face melted our hearts and we decided that we were taking her home. Now all cleaned up she has found her forever family with the Lorfing’s but our work is not yet done, she deserves to see again. Annie is scheduled for cataract surgery March 9th. Her new family will give her the intensive after-care she will require but we are paying the bills.

… Hard to believe we are coming up on nine years this year come Mother’s Day! I can’t tell you how much Promise means to me. I thank God that you do what you do. Here is a current picture of Promise with her pack sibling, Boomer, adopted a couple of years ago. You can see the old picture of her in my original email(see below).
People still stop me on the street to pet her and they are amazed she is now going on 11 because she looks and acts like a puppy. Her coat is soft and glossy and she is a very good little girl for the most part. She has a love of life that is contagious; makes me want to get up in the morning and greet the day and I can’t help but smile when I watch her prance on our walks.
She has really helped with Boomer. He was so anxiety ridden when we got him that he was on sedation medication to help him deal with wind and rain and thunder and gun fire and almost you name it. He didn’t wag his tail for months and he was overweight and had stress alopecia and hot spots, so he was completely shaved down. He has lost 30 lbs and has been drug free for a year now. He now looks like a normal golden and even wags his tail when we go for walks. He defers to Promise in all things and I can see him watching her for clues on how to respond.
Thank you. Love to you and yours.

Mauled by dogs, stuffed in a crate, left behind an abandoned gas station, Pebbles was rescued by a homeless man who thought he could get a couple of dollars for the crate. Instead he found Pebbles dehydrated and bleeding. He brought her to the Santa Paula shelter for help. They gave her medical attention at their local emergency clinic, called us and even delivered her up to us. SPARC is a very special shelter, one of the truly no kill city shelters we work with and we are honored to support them.
We immediately took Pebbles to our vet for follow up care. She had been bitten repeatedly, her leg, thigh and stomach were swollen and distorted from the trauma. She was even still lactating. Heavens knows where her puppies are. Though she will always carry her scars,Pebbles, amazingly has healed up beautifully. Through it all her gentle spirit and sweet soul shine through.
William looks kind of sad with his one eye and soulful looks but really he is jumping up and down for joy. Just a few days ago he was sitting in the North Central LA shelter with all the other strays wondering how the heck he ended up there!
Thanks to everyone who donated towards his rescue he is safe, freshly groomed and ready for a foster home. What a handsome boy!! We can’t thank you enough!
A record 198 dogs rescued, 32 senior dogs in loving sanctuary homes, new teams of volunteers pulling dogs at even more shelters and all our bills paid off by end of the year. This has been a truly great year and none of it would have been possible without all of you!
Looking forward to this coming year, at SCCR we are looking for new ways to rescue more dogs than ever. Whether you are a once a year donor, Face Book fan, foster mom or monthly donor you are what makes the work we do possible. We thank you for being an important part of the Second Chance rescue team and helping us save lives, one Cocker Spaniel at a time.
Best Wishes for a Wonderful New Year,
