THE PORCUPINE DOGS!




The journey has begun. Today Jake and Mando left on the long drive to Texas to pick up these poor dogs. A few weeks ago I received an email from a nice woman who had been feeding a couple of shy stray dogs for a long long time. Then one day they showed up with hundreds of quills from a porcupine, pertruding from their heads, mouth, neck, etc. She called everyone she could think of but no one would help. Because the dogs were so shy no one could get near them. She watched in horror as days passed by and the dogs' injuries became more infected. Villalobos stepped up to the plate to take them in but because of the distance there was no way for us to get out there in time to trap these dogs. That's when the Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Center became our heroes. Because of their experience with handling wild and exotic animals, capturing a couple of Pit mixes was a piece of cake. Not only did they catch them within one day, but they then rushed them to their on site vet who spents hours and actually days, removing the porcupine's "daggers". Now on the road to recovery, we are in the road to rescue them and bring them back here. We are asking that anyone who wants to help with these dogs to please make a donation to the Wildlife Rescue Center at: http://www.wildlife-rescue.org/ Without these people, these dogs would've died!
