Ivy looking for a forever home.

2011-12-12T06:58:00.000-06:00

Who can resist Ivy's BIG smile!

Ivy currently lives in Viroqua, but I am sure if someone is interested in Ivy, we could find a way to get her from there to a new home. If you have any questions or know of someone who can help Ivy, please reply to this email, or email Heather S. at hs_schrdr@hotmail.com You can also call Heather at home at (608) 326-0052. Please help her if you can or know of anyone who could possibly take her. If someone wanted to take Ivy but were concerned about her not being so good with other dogs, I would help that person socialize Ivy - no guarantees, but I would certainly try to help. It's been almost a year that we rescued Shadow the Hackney and this dog is probably almost as big as a small pony.

Golden Lab - Looking for foster home.

2011-10-13T06:14:00.000-05:00

Shown here as a puppy. The only thing different, is he's bigger.

There is a almost 2 year old male yellow lab in need of a foster home until next summer, he is being held at a local vet until Monday. The person who was caring for him while her son was in school out of town until next Spring/Summer can no longer physically care for him. I have until Monday to figure something out, if anyone knows of some place even temporarily I would greatly appreciate it, food and vet bills can be paid by for. Note from owner 10/4 " Had a couple calls but no one followed through on the meeting times. Currently still at local vet. Need to find a Foster homethrough at
last the winter by the end of the week or she will be surrendering Charlie to the vet I believe. Charlie is a good companion dog, likes to play Frisbee, good with kids.It is someone off the rivers and bluff site, I just need to figure out a way to transport Charlie to Prairie Du Chien area. I am wondering if you have any smaller companion dogs that you know of that need a home, that would be good for an older women? Charlie was just too big for her to care for but she is all alone and if you hear of anything that might be a good fit for her let me know please. I appreciate your site so very much! It was breaking my heart to have to decide if he should just be turned over to the vet to figure out a home and have the family lose him permanently.Thank you." ~~(608) 648-2461~~ Correction made at the request of Crawford Area Shelter for Animals(CASA)10/3/11 Please call Tia at (608) 606-0383.

Pu-r-r-r-r-r Wisconsin Kitty looking for a Home

2011-09-13T11:25:00.001-05:00

My first owner moved to Florida and couldn't take me with. I was so-o-o looking forward to living in a warmer climate.
I am looking for a new home here in Wisconsin. I am used to the Dairy State, having grown up here. I love siting on laps.
My first owner has taken good care of me: I have had all of my shots, have been dewormed and had a flea treatment. (I wasn't too happy about that!) I have been declawed as well.
The vet says I am in perfect health.
This cat needs a home, if interested please respond to this email and I will get you a phone number. The reason for this cat needing a home is the owner has moved to Florida and couldn't take the cat with her. For additional information: please contact riversandbluffs@gmail.com

Cocker Spaniel Looking for a Forever Home

2011-08-30T17:00:00.000-05:00

Success!
Gracie - Blonde Female Cocker
About 1 1/2 year old
Gracie, the blonde cocker, has a new forever home!! Her new owners came to meet her at 1:30 this afternoon, felll in love with her, and took her home!! Her new "dad" actually led her to their truck and opened the driver's door; Gracie readily jumped in, immediately took her position in the passenger seat and looked out over the dash through the front windshield as if to say "Let's go!" Needless to say, she will be riding with her dad as he makes his many business rounds!! She will also be living in the lap of luxury!! A great thanks to Heather and Dave Baker and their two children who have been taking such good care of Grace over the past few months. Because of them, Grace is good with small children and other dogs and healthy. Once again, RABAS ROCKS!! The "twilight bark" is alive and well in our organization!!

Kitten has a Happy Beginning.

2011-07-27T06:31:00.001-05:00

Thanks to the hard work of Jill and Linda B, who would not give up on the cute little orange and white kitten, it is now in its new home in Galena, IL. Linda placed an ad in the newspaper to try to find homes for kittens that she has had for quite some time. She thought as long as she had the ad in the paper, she would mention the orange and white kitten if anyone called. As luck would have it, a man from Galena called her, and told her his daughter wanted an orange and white kitten. The rest is history. Jill met the man from Galena in Millville today and hopefully it will be happy ever after for the kitten. After meeting the new owner, Jill feels that the kitten will have a good home. Thanks to Jill and Linda for going the extra mile. For Jill, this is the 3rd kitten this month that she has found homes for. Linda has found new homes for countless numbers of cats.
If anyone is in need of a kitten, Sue R has a kitten that somehow ended up on her doorstep on Turtle Lane and John H found a young, helpless kitten at the Wisconsin River Bridge over the weekend. He is also looking for a home for this kitten.

I hope to see many of you at Yappy Hour on Thursday.

Kittens need help asap

2011-05-30T18:50:00.002-05:00

Update: All the kittens and mom will have a home. Thanks Linda B.
===============
I have been contacted by the local police that there are six kittens in need of safety. Right now they are with their wild mother in a dog house with a friendly dog; the mother just showed up and took residency there. However, there is another mean German shepard on the property that will kill them if they get near him. The kittens are beginning to move around and will soon be mobile enough to venture out in the yard. They are you basic garden variety kittens of various colors. Their future is growing up wild and getting killed by the German shepard or going off into the woods with their mother. The owners of the property are demolishing their present home and building a new home on the site. They would think about keeping the kittens, but they know that they would not be safe. I am not sure that we can get ahold of the mother.

Please send this out on our hotline and maybe someone has a safe place for them. I have a contact phone as the people's present phone is being disconnected due to the rebuilding. These kittens are located in Marquette.

2011-05-14T07:40:00.000-05:00

Thanks to the staff at Southwest Veterinary Services. 37460 US Highway 18, Prairie du Chien, WI 53821, and the friends of friends from Rivers and Bluffs Animal Shelter in Prairie du Chien, WI, a yellow lab has found a new home.

"The story with the dog is that is was found wandering by a motel in McGregor or Marquette, IA, so the police dept brought her to Southwest Veterinary Services. We have NEVER received that many calls and other contacts about an animal before. I think it also could, in certain cases, reunite an animal with an owner that didn't know WHERE to look!" said Dr. Sarah Holler, of Southwest Veterinary Services.

The staff at Southwest Veterinary Services and the 'friend network" of Rivers and Bluffs will continue to work together.

Older Chows need temp. assistance

2011-04-11T17:06:00.001-05:00

A PdC woman's two older (9 and 11) dogs are temporarily homeless. She herself is staying with her son because she's otherwise homeless, too, but the dogs aren't allowed there. She doesn't want to euthanize them but needs a temporary (maybe a week two) place for them to go. She said they mostly just lay around and aren't at all aggressive; if anything they're the opposite. Do you have anyone who can think of in the PdC area who'd allow these older Chow dogs at their homes for a short time? Please let us know if you can assist.

Last Chance - Follow up!

2010-10-30T10:36:00.003-05:00

The dog from Ma's Bakery has a forever home, thanks to the efforts of
RABAS, in particular the loving hearts of Lyn and Denny Moris. The
young male dog was found tied to a bench in front of Ma's Bakery with a
package of rotten meat on Tuesday or Wednesday of last week. Grant Co.
Sherrif's Dept. was called and the dog was picked up and taken to
Lancaster Vet. Lyn notified Bev of the situation who then put it out on
the RABAS Hotline. No response was received. A camper at Wyalusing
State Park told Bev that possibly his brother would take the dog as he
had 6 rescued dogs and 2 rescued cats already. He drove to Lancaster to
look at the dog. The dog was very shy and afraid and the couple could
not even get the dog to come to them from the far corner of the kennel.
They told the Lancaster Vet that they would think about it. This week
they decided not to take the dog, but I was not too worried as Lyn had
told me that if dogs aren't adopted through Lancaster Vet, they are
taken to a no kill shelter. Lyn had also told Lancaster Vet to call her
if the dog did not get adopted. On Thursday afternoon, Lyn was
notified that the dog would be euthanized as they had no more room to
keep him with boarding dogs coming in for the weekend. The dog would
have been killed on Thursday, but the person in charge of euthanizations
was out sick that day. Lynn thought she had a home for the dog, but
the people did not want to pay the adoption fee of $135. This story
went out on the RABAS Hotline. Almost immediately two RABAS members
emailed me - one saying she would pay the entire $135 if it meant the
dog would have a home and all that was stopping them was the adoption
fee. The other member said she would contribute funds to help with the
adoption fee. I contacted Lynn and told her and she said that the dog
may have already been put down, but she would contact the vet as well as
the people who were possibly interested in the dog. The dog was still
alive but the people we were hoping would take the dog were no longer
interested. This was about 11 a.m. yesterday and the dog was to be
killed before noon. Time was running out quickly and I had all but
given up. But then Lyn called me and said that she and her husband
would take the dog, at least until a home could be found for it. The
vet had told her that the dog had done a complete turn around from the
time it was brought it. The dog had gone from a shy, cowering dog to a
friendly one in the time it was at Lancaster Vet. Lyn and Denny picked
the dog up yesterday afternoon. She called me last night and says the
dog now has a forever home. Lyn says the dog is beautiful - vet thinks
it is part German Shepherd Dog (big ears that stand up straight) and
blue heeler. Lyn said the first time she saw the dog when it was tied
to the bench, the dogs ears were not up and she did not even realize how
big his ears were. The dog sits while it is leashed and also walks
very nice on a leash according to Lyn. As of last night, the dog does
not yet have a name, but they are thinking possibly of Benchley - from
the fact that it was tied to a bench. Greta - Moris' other dog may not
have accepted this dog yet, but Lyn is sure they will be fine one the
two have adjusted to each other and pecking order has been established.
She also thinks it will be fine with their cats.

So once again, a happy ending to a not so happy beginning.

Thanks, Lyn and Denny for caring and making this huge commitment.

Last Chance!!!!

Is there anyone out there who can help this dog - the one tied to a
bench in Bloomington with a package of rotting meat. The dog would need
some TLC as it is very shy from what I understand. We are his last
chance.

Blossom - 1 year old Lab!

2010-10-12T19:14:00.003-05:00

Hello everyone! I am sure many of you remember Blossom, the wonderful 1 year old dog. It didn't work out where she went because the dad just isn't home enough, so we need to find a home for her again. Please let me know if you are interested or if you have any questions. Blossom has been described as very kind, mellow, docile, and great with kids. She is a one-year-old golden lab mix and used to being inside. I am pretty sure she is spayed, but I will let you know when I get a confirmation. Thanks! Contact Rivers and Bluffs.

Lab Puppy Finds a loving home!

2010-10-08T08:23:00.002-05:00

Well, finally when Angie decided to go ahead and take the puppy I found out that he had already found a home. I think Angie is a little relieved and the puppy has a home - whew! I was looking forward to going and getting him, but it's probably better I didn't get to see him! Once again, thank you for everything! It is so nice you love animals too! Thank goodness for our network! Have a good night and I will drop those cookies off in McGregor Saturday morning! Should I put them in a ziploc or saran wrap? When are you going to be down there this weekend? I am sure Keegan would like to see you! Have a good night!

Black Lab Missing near Campion Blvd Prairie du Chien, WI

2010-04-30T17:54:00.001-05:00

Our female
black lab (2 yr old) took off last night. She got off her leash, and we
are unable to find her. She didn't have a collar on, because she had
slipped out of it. She goes by the name Lilly, and she is very
friendly. I think she would go to anyone if they called her.

She really doesn't have any markings, but she is
medium build (not too skinny, and not fat).

I have contacted the Prairie Police Dept. and the
vet clinics in town. We live on Campion Blvd. If you could contact
anyone, any help is appreciated!

Puppies in need of a home

2010-04-19T11:55:00.001-05:00

All of the puppies, below, have a home. Thank you to all inquiries. If you are interested in puppies or cats, please visit your local shelter.

Below are picture and descriptions of 8 pups that need a home. Here is their story: This past January, a pregnant female was dropped off at my friend Mark's home. Mark is on disability and in and out of the hospital. He is struggling and doesn't have the money or the resources to take care of all these babies. He doesn't have running water or heat in his home. Mark took the female in, gave her a home, and she had pups about a month after he got her. They were born on Groundhog Day, February 2nd. Mark doesn't have running water or heat in his home and doesn't have the resources to care for them much longer. There is no fencing at his place and he cannot afford to put fencing up. The lack of fencing makes their physical safety situation very precarious: Their mother was hit by a car and killed when they were 8 weeks old. The pictures below were taken 2 weeks ago, a couple of days after their mother was killed. They were about 10 pounds at the time. They are about 10 weeks old right now. They look to have mostly black lab in them, and the 2 long-haired males look like they might have some Newfoundland in them.
>
> These pups all have really nice personalities and get along well with other dogs. They are happy little guys. Mark has done an amazing job with them considering his situation, but they need to find permanent, safe homes. If you know of anybody who would give them a nice home and is looking to adopt a dog, or if you know of any rescue that could assist Mark with these puppies, please let me know. Even if you know of a rescue that would take one or two pups, that would be
> fantastic!! Please feel free to forward this e-mail as you see fit.
> If you have any questions, please let me know.

Beautiful Part Persian Male Cat

2010-03-22T15:26:00.001-05:00

A red/white bicolor part Persian male cat that I would like to
give a way. He is sweet, friendly, and needs a forever home. He is
currently living outside, but is litter trained and likes to be in the
house. He is not neuter, but other than that , he is a great cat. He is
outside because my dogs do not think he should be in the house.

Absynian Cat looking for a home

2010-03-02T07:00:00.001-06:00

Our friend said you may be able to help me find a home for my cat. She is an Abyssinian, about 7 years old, spayed but still has her claws. She isn’t mean but she digs her claws in when you pick her up. I have 2 pit bulls that will not let her leave the bedroom and I just don’t think that’s any way for an animal to live.From: eric1@mwt.net

Kittens and Mom

2010-02-07T06:35:00.002-06:00

Note from Rivers and Bluffs Animal Shelter member: I have a rather odd thing to ask. I talked with Carol from Carol's Critters this morning and she had someone bring in kittens yesterday to her store to sell and

they also dropped off an adult cat. They sold all of the kittens except one and the adult

cat. The problem is the person that dropped them off didn't bother to come back at the end

of the day and pick up any remaining kittens that didn't sell. They are unable to

contact this person. Carol believes that the adult cat is about to have kittens. She is not

set up at the store to take care of a mother cat and kittens. Is there anyone out there that

would be willing to take on this responsibility? If so, please respond to this email and I

will get you in touch with Carol. I'm sure that once the kittens were old enough, Carol would

allow them to be sold at her store. The adult cat is black, white and gray. The kitten

I'm not sure what color it is or what sex it is. She said the adult cat is very friendly so you

know its been a house cat as it's clean and doesn't smell like a barn. Appreciate any help

with this situation.

Missing Beagle

2010-01-24T05:35:00.003-06:00

Missing a 7 year old, spayed female beagle named Tory. It is a lemon colored beagle which I believe is a light tan. Tory's was on a walk with her "grandpa" by the bike trail near Villa Louis. "Grandpa" started talking to someone and Tory wandered off. She has been gone since yesterday afternoon. If you have time tomorrow, could you just go down there and take a look. All it takes is being in the right place at the right time. If you can, please take some food and a leash along. Tory is wearing a Badgers collar. If you find her, please call Angela at 608-306-1123. Further Information.

A Vet Check:

-she is not pregnant
- does not have fleas
-does not have feline leukemia
-does not have worms but did get a dose of meds just in case
-does have a couple of teeth missing
-did get ears cleaned and a dose of ear mite medicine
-does have a bit of nasal congestion
-most likely has secondary bacterial infection but was given 0.36cc Convenia SQ

We have plans to take her to Dubuque Humane Society.

Kittens

2010-01-01T14:20:00.001-06:00

Kim also has 3 kittens that need a home. Tender Care has a young beautiful kitten that someone found in a snowbank and took to Tender Care. When it arrived they could barely get a pulse and the kitten was almost froze to death. It is a uniquely colored kitten - tan with lots of colors mixed in. Very friendly. Tender Care also has 2 older kittens that someone found along the highway in a plastic tub. There were 3 of them at the time. All 3 were wild and sick - they could not even get close to them. Dr. Jami assigned one wild kitten to each of the vet techs. Actually 2 vet techs shared a kitten. Jami gave them thetask of tamingthekittens so they would be adoptable. As an incentive, she told the vet techs that whoever tamed their kitten first, theywould get an extra 4 hours of vacation. I am not sure who won the contest, but the kittens are now tame and healthy. They are current on all shots, have been tested for feline leukemia and have been spayed or neutered. So if anyone can help with a home for any of the kittens or the pom, please contact Jami at 306-0052 or Kim at the number listed.

2 year old Pomeranian needs a home

2010-01-01T14:18:00.001-06:00

Kim Pinkham rescued a 2 year old pomeranian yesterday afternoon. She had been keeping an eye on this dog as she was told it was only outside when the lady was picking up the kids from school. Kim noticed it outside yesterday - in a kennel with a dog house. She questioned the lady who lives in the house only to find that someone had left the dog with her and was going to pick it up in three weeks. They never came back with it. The pom. chased the cats in the house, so the dog was banished to the kennel outside. As you all know, the forecast for last night and the next few nights is in the below zero temps. Kim got the dog which was matted and shaking. It is now at Vicki Moore's house on Irish Ridge. She helps CASA with fosters. If anyone can give this dog a home, please contact Kim Pinkham at 608-412-0163.

Found Dog - FOUND A HOME!

2009-12-08T20:39:00.000-06:00

Found dog 12/08/09 30
Found Nov. 24 on Clayton County Iowa County Road X56, south of McGregor at "T" intersection near Clayton Heights Campground.
Neutered Male; 12-18 mo. old; 33 lbs.; tan & white, looks like a Jack Russell/Beagle mix?; has a cute bobtail; no collar or chip. Friendly except for some food aggression. (he was hungry!!)Doesn't bother our cats, very friendly and loving. If he gets out of his collar, he will lead you on a chase! MUST find a home for him within a week...please pass the word!
Call Susan at Tender Care Animal Hosp. at 608-326-7101

First, I can't begin to thank you for the way the word has spread far & wide about 'Lil Dude...amazing!I received a phone call this afternoon from a gentleman in southern Minnesota who saw Dude on Iowa Petfinder and is interested enough to drive to Prairie Mon. or Tues. to meet him at Tender Care. I was honest about Dude's "areas of improvement" as well as telling him all the good stuff. So...I will let you know if a match is made...in the meantime, everyone think a good thought/say a little prayer for Dude and his new family. What a wonderful Christmas gift for all.
Susan

The folks that I mentioned yesterday from Minnesota drove to PdC today from Albert Lea, MN to met the Dude. And you know how crummy the weather was this morning! Martin called at 8:45 to tell us they were just leaving home, and they got to the animal hospital around 3 PM. I think it was love at first sight for men & dog both. (Martin had his teenage son with him.) They gave me their veterinarian's card and spoke quite knowledgeably about Heartgard, annual wellness exams and the like. I really think that Dude has hit the jackpot! Martin promised to send me photos and updates...and also if for some reason it all didn't work out, he promised to get him back to me. (I sweetened that deal by offering to meet him in LaCrosse!) But, I just have a good gut feeling that Dude has found his forever home. (Those poor guys are probably almost home by now!)
Martin offered to help pay for some of the care Dude has received thus far, but I told him that, thanks to the fact that Dr. Jami very generously allowed me to use my employee discount for Dude, that Joe & I would pay his care to this point. I suggested that he make a donation to one of the local rescue/humane organizations to help pups that haven't been as lucky as Dude. So I hope he follows through on that.
Dude is really a Christmas miracle...and I thank you, one and all, for the parts you have played in making this a very happy ending!
God bless you all,susan & joe van metre
