The GirlFriend Fund

The Road Home K9 Rescue has started an endowment fund to support the veterinary care of the Yolo County collies in perpetuity.  The new adoptive owners have taken them on despite many having serious health problems as a legacy of their neglect and abuse.  They will need help with the potentially large veterinary bills.  Many need your help now!  See their stories by clicking here.

Fanny 135

 

Fanny is also getting old and enjoying every minute of her life. She is a special needs dog, because she would not do well in an ordinary pet home. The Road Home is supporting her veterinary care, which has been minimal, but still she needs annual check ups.

  
 

The Road Home K9 Rescue continues to raise funds to support the Yolo County collies and their health care in perpetuity.

 The Winter 2006 newsletter features personal letters from Tracey and Cathy to those who supported the care and rehoming of the Yolo County Collies.

Ronald 92

 

Ronald, now called Rudy, continues to struggle with his immune system and intermittent outbreaks of demodectic mange.  His adopters love him anyway and work hard to keep him happy and healthy.

Guy 146

Guy, now called Kep, lives with Rudy.  Both share the patience of their loving adoptive home, where he struggles along with Rudy with demodectic mange outbreaks.  Luckily Kep is normal for the MDR1 mutation so he can be treated with ivermectin. The GirlFriend Fund contributes a little to the care of both Rudy and Kep.

Pictures of the collies in their forever homes!

Bee Gee (center) is blind but you can't tell. Here he is playing tug with Otis, with Bigman looking on, in their foster home. 

 

Otis and Dart were retired in a hospice foster home, as they both have developed lupus and probably don't have much time to live (Otis crossed the bridge on June 14, 2006). They were too "reactive", because of behavioral problems resulting from lack of socialization, years of confinement and abuse, to be adoptable.  The Road Home K9 Rescue will be supporting the unadoptable dogs in their foster homes.
