Pet Rescue 6121

[Dion Worles]

Asthey have done in the past, the U.S. Marshalls called Stray Rescue on March 27th to alert us of a felony arrest which also involved a chained dog owned by the felon criminal. They also told us about another injured dog nearby. That injured soul was Pazzo. What he had to endure for such a lengthy time brought tears to our eyes and determination in our hearts to get him to safety and help him at Stray Rescue.

Pazzo is a 2 year old Border Collie mix. He was purposely knotted at the back of the waist and genitals with a rope that he was forced to endure. He was suffering excruciating pain and severe infection which would have eventually caused a slow and very painful death. The rope was placed and tied so tightly that it was embedded deeply into his waist. Even us seasoned rescuers were in shock at what we saw.

This crime took place in North St. Louis in the Baden neighborhood near Christian Avenue. Anyone with information is asked to call Stray Rescue at 314-771-6121 ext. 255 to help us find the abuser. A reward will be offered.

I visited with Pazzo yesterday, and we went for a walk. He is such a sweet, gentle, forgiving dog soul. I feel that the nicer the dog, sometimes the easier they fall prey to be victimized. He is so trusting, even after all he has endured and continues to go through on his road to recovery.

My plea to you is to help us find the abuser and help us afford his medical treatment which will be very expensive. Funds are running alarmingly and dangerously low, and we definitely need your help and support right now.

Please donate TODAY to the Sidney Strum Animal Abuse Fund to help us stop this senseless cruelty and to help us continue making a difference in the community for our four-legged friends and those who love them.

After serving a search warrant, they discovered several deceased animals, along with 10 dogs, who needed emergency medical care. More than 30 birds were also discovered on the property and OHS helped facilitate their transfer to specialized rescue groups. The dogs were transferred to a veterinary clinic by Jackson County Animal Services where they received urgent care and evidence could be collected.

The plan to transfer the 10 dogs to OHS after they were stabilized was put into motion. Second Chance team member Perla Ceh-Cocom drove the OHS transport vehicle to the area and worked with the team at Jackson County Animal Services to carefully load the dogs. They were emaciated, suffering from a painful skin disease, and had other medical conditions.

The dogs rescued in Jackson County in October required individualized care to treat their medical conditions, which ranged from mange to dental decay to gastrointestinal issues. After receiving care from the medical team at OHS they were sent to stay with a foster families during their recovery period until they became healthy enough for adoption. On January 17, after nearly three months in a foster home, a 3 year-old hound-retriever mix named Mookie was the last to find her new loving family.

Once JCSO responded, a search warrant was sought and granted for the property on the 6600 block of East Evans Creek Road in Rural Rogue River. Upon entry into the house, JCSO deputies and Animal Control officers discovered 10 dogs suffering from the same highly contagious condition, likely two different types of mange. The dogs were diseased, malnourished, and close to death. Living inside the residence were also 10 exotic birds in cages, and at least six cats. Outside of the residence investigators discovered a dead cat and another cage with six pigeons inside. JCSO deputies, Animal Control officers, Search and Rescue (SAR) volunteers, a Community Services Deputy, and a local veterinarian employee rescued a total of 32 animals from the property.

All of the animals were surrendered by the owner on scene. The exotic birds were initially collected and housed overnight at the Jackson County Animal Shelter and then were transferred to several local bird rescues. The dogs were all examined at Southern Oregon Veterinary Specialty Center and a treatment plan was initiated for each of them. All of the living dogs will be transferred to the Oregon Humane Society in Portland where they will receive extensive medical care and rehabilitation. The cats that were removed from the home will be rehabilitated and evaluated for adoption once they are in better condition.

Background: The outcome of severely injured or ill patients can be time dependent. Short activation and approach times for emergency medical service (EMS) units are widely recognized to be important quality indicators. The use of a helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS) can significantly shorten rescue missions especially in mountainous areas. We aimed to analyze the HEMS characteristics that influence the activation and approach times.

Results: We found large differences in mean activation and approach times among HEMS bases. The shortest mean activation time was 2.9 minutes; the longest 17.0 minutes. The shortest mean approach time was 10.4 minutes; the longest 45.0 minutes.
