Matted, flea infested, pitiful Shih Tzu’s dumped at Mobile SPCA gate!

August 29, 2024 By MSPCA Staff Leave a Comment

UPDATE: They went to the beauty parlor today!

Many thanks to Rebecca Dixon, owner of Apollo’s Paws Grooming on Grelot! Rebecca and her team gave them a shave down and wash up and a mani/pedi and they look marvelous! Now all they need is a good dinner, a warm blanket and a soft bed so they can rest up after their long day of pampering! They will see our vet Tuesday and be on the road to new homes.

So this happened. Someone dumped a pile of Shih Tzus outside our gate this morning. One of our staff found them wandering around in the street at the crack of dawn and they followed her in, begging for help. Then a couple of hours later, a volunteer showed up and found another puppy outside, all alone. They were wet, covered in fleas, dirty, frightened, horribly matted and desperate for  help. They will need immediate grooming and lots of medical care. We suspect they are cover in sores under all that hair! We’ve included a link below to a Givebutter campaign to raise funds for their medical treatment and care. We’d really appreciate it if you are able to donate, or if not, just sharing this post will be a big help so that others might. THANK YOU!!

As a side note: OPEN MESSAGE TO THE PERSON WHO DUMPED THE SHIH TZU’s by the Mobile SPCA this morning: Please contact us anonymously to let us know how many puppies you left . . . we only want to make sure we have them all and there are none we couldn’t find who still need help. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GIVE YOUR NAME AND WE ARE NOT COMING AFTER YOU. We only want to know all the dogs are safely in our care.

Meet Luna, a lively and friendly adult cat who calls the shelter her temporary home. Luna's energy is infectious; she loves to play and explore, making every day an adventure. Despite her vivacious spirit, Luna prefers the company of humans over other animals. She enjoys the quiet moments as much as the playful ones, appreciating a good petting session or a calm evening by your side. Luna's independent streak makes her a unique companion. She's a cat who knows her mind, and isn't afraid to show it. Luna's friendly and energetic nature, combined with her love for human companionship, makes her the perfect addition to any home ready to embrace her vibrant personality. Adopt Luna and experience the joy of her companionship.
If you are interested in adopting a Luna or another a great Mobile SPCA cat or dog, call the Mobile SPCA at (251) 633-3531 or click here.  You will need to fill out an online application, so get started!
