Fire At Bundocks

The house owned by Sharon Curry (of Bundocks) was destroyed by a fire Thanksgiving night. Sharon and her dogs are fine, but she lost her birds and all of her personal possessions. The kenneled dogs are fine as her house is set a distance away from the kennels. Running a busy kennel remains her first priority but she and her staff are toughing it out as they are running on generators and are without appliances. An emergency Sharon Curry Fire Fund has been established at the Sebastopol branch of Exchange Bank: 720 Gravenstein Hwy N, Sebastopol, CA 95472-2808 (707) 823-3800. A blog has also been set up so that friends and supporters can keep tabs on the latest Bundocks information and needs: http://bundockskennels.blogspot.com/.   Sharon's heart is the size of Texas. She's a true animal lover who will never think twice about rescuing any animal in need. She's been known to pick up stray dogs and house them at her kennel until their owners are located. Without her help, we wouldn't be able to save the number of Bull Terriers that we do. It's no wonder that a caring community has banded together to help her get back on her feet. A reserve of doggie linens and bedding is always needed so I'll be starting a towel and blanket drive on Craigslist soon.

Happy Halloween!

Any Bullysitters Available?

Harvietta (Harvi) is a delightfully bouncy and affectionate 28lb girl who needs to be babysat this week so that I can bring her to Silverwood Friday to meet her hopeful new family. She's very submissive to other dogs and had a blast playing with Chihuahuas and a Shih Tzu when I took her in for her vaccinations yesterday. Harvi gets along fine with my crew but the ancient ones are getting upset that their daylong slumber parties are being interrupted. Harvi is 2 years old, spayed and UTD on her rabies and bordatella vaccinations. She gave a playbow to a huge cat that was crated but I don't know how she fares with the kitties in general. This silly girl enticed Busefalo to play but ran off when the big guy got excited. A cuteness item: her nose and ears get really pink when she's all warm while cuddling with you.

Since she's been an outside dog 24/7 her only challenge might be some housebreaking issues but she's been fine so far with frequent walks (she walks nicely on a leash). She's reportedly an escape artist but she hasn't shown much interest in being outdoors ever since enjoying the Great Inside World.

Let me know if you can help!

Silverwood Schtuff - Rainbow Bridge Table

From Janice Frostick:

Mary Ann Martin has graciously consented to take care of the Rainbow Bridge Table at Silverwood this year.

Please bring your framed, approximately 5X7 photo(s) of your beloved deceased bull terrier to the Rainbow Bridge Table when you attend Silverwood. Remember to bring it back with you before Saturday night. A donation of $10 is suggested to give to the AKC Canine Health Foundation Research. The BTCA's Donor Advised Fund supports health studies and research for Bull Terriers. Please make your check payable to BTCA Donor Advised Fund. $300 is usually collected for this cause each year.

If you are 'sending' your picture, you must find a friend who is going to Silverwood, who would be so kind to take your photo for you. It is traditional to write a few words about your bully...name, dates, personality, activities, etc. to accompany the photo.

For your convenience, checks may be given to Mary Ann or mailed to:

Janice Frostick
1 Maple Street
Farmingdale, NJ 07727

There'll be plenty of Kleenex at the table.

Zoey

10/2: Happy Update - Zoey has been claimed by her owner! Thanks, Jennifer & Dorey - for offering partial transport! And, the Upland girl has been rescued by our Southern CA group!


Our Southern California rescue folks are absolutely overwhelmed and some of shelters there have been bursting at the seams due to pets displaced by the wildfires. Since we have great homes waiting for the right dogs, two Southern California girls are being considered. Information is pending on the 5yo white female in Upland but here's a picture of a sweet and scared 7yo girl named Zoey.

Zoey is in San Diego. Would anyone be able to help with interim fostering/partial transport for her if she evaluates well? If she has major health issues, she may be a candidate for our hospice or compassion program.

Quick Updates!

• Izzy's safe and going for a test drive today
• Holly's been on a test drive for a week and is doing wonderfully!
• Mochi from Hayward is extremely sweet; she's charming the socks off of our kennel staff
• Nicky from Mendocino is a TOTAL goofball...he may be renamed Squeaky because he doesn't bark, he squeaks!

Bedridden Since Tuesday (9/22)...

For anyone who's emailed or called me, my apologies for not responding. I've been bedridden with a horrible flu and hope to be recovering soon. ~Suz

Mochi - A TLC Case

According to the shelter staff, Mochi (pronounced "mo chee") lives up to her name! This super sweet little girl was surrendered to the shelter as her skin issues could not be resolved. She'll be evaluated at the shelter tomorrow and likely to be sprung. If anyone's up for fostering a very affectionate girl that will likely need a special diet, please contact me. More information on her will be posted tomorrow.

Meet Nicky

Nicky is the dude from Mendocino County who's a major goofball. We think he's no older than a year as he's still full of puppy curiosity and exuberance. So far, he has not been reactive to the dogs walking around his kennel at his interim lodging. Nicky will arrive at our kennel on 9/20; stay tuned for more information on this very happy boy!

Modesto Girl Saved!

Thanks to Alissa & Micah, this little girl will be pulled tomorrow and evaluated for our program. Thanks also to Lianne for helping me stay sane after receiving the shelter's rescue request this morning.

Please stay tuned for more news on this little one!

Good Night, Dear Hayley

It is with great sadness that I write of my Hayley's passing. This gentle little flower was surrendered to the shelter at the age of 9 because her owner couldn't deal with the accidents caused by Lasix (a diuretic used to treat her heart condition).

What an angel Hayley turned out to be! My late Hazel welcomed her with open paws and Hayley subsequently did the same for each Bullyhaven newcomer. She was especially adept in calming the hospice dogs and making them feel immediately at home. The picture below shows her hanging out with late hospice girl, Ursula.

Although Hayley's been in heart failure for the past 1.5 years, it was cancer that finally took her away from us. Her buddy Chico (a min pin x chihuahua) underwent hip surgery yesterday and had a chance to say goodbye to her at the same hospital. He was there to help her peacefully slip away.

Sleep tight, sweet girl. I miss you so much and keep thinking that if I leave your meds on the counter and freshen up your bed, I'd see you walking in from your beloved garden spot. Thank you for almost 3 years of constant sunshine and love.

Spider's Web Plea - Sad Update

6/26: Little Spider is running happily in the big dogpark in the sky. Recent X-rays revealed that the spinal swelling had worsened and had damaged the nerves which impact the breathing, digestive and bladder/bowel functions. As his vet determined that his condition was irreversible, Spider's owner made the painful decision to put him to sleep.

Sweet dreams, little CrazyLegs.

Heartfelt thanks go to Tina W., Alissa & Micah, Jennifer W., Dorey C. & Michael, and Lupe for your offers to foster/transport this sweet little boy. The kindness within the bully community is astounding.

With sadness and gratitude,
Suz


Sometimes a dog (or two, or three, or...) just takes hold of your heartstrings and won't go. Spider is a 16-week puppy that is in San Diego. He won't do well at our kennel so we'll need to secure a foster home before we can put out a call for transport help.

Spider was a 7-week pup when his doggy mother stepped on his back. A series of X-rays determined that a bruised spine was the cause of his paralysis of his rear legs. With the help of steroids, Spider is slowly using his rear legs again. Spider got his name due to the way he initially tried to walk after his accident. He is now 16 weeks and can wobble for about 5 feet. As his condition is improving, the vets are hopeful that will some guidance and exercises, Spider will be able to walk and run again. There is no corrective surgery for this condition; just treatment with steroids to help the bruising and swelling in his spine. His owner will be going back to work and with extended hours so she won't be able to give Spider the care he needs.

This little guy is quite the sweetheart. He still tries to run and play with the children, cats and other dogs in his family. His front legs are strong so he'd be an excellent candidate for a doggie cart, if need be. For now, he needs a nurturing foster that can help strengthen the muscles in his rear legs, and put him on feeding and potty schedule so that we can help with his housebreaking. At 16 weeks, he is just beginning to have control over his bowel and bladder.



He's a mellow pup who has a certain routine. He loves lounging around in his doggie bed, have his meals, then retire for the evening in the tent that he feels secure in. He's reportedly all of only 12lbs and will max out at 30-35lbs when fully grown. The muscle tone in his face and body, and any urinary accidents should improve once he's off the steroids.

Please contact Suz if you can give this little trooper a temporary/permanent spot in your heart and home.

Adorable Commercial!

It's been hectic at work and rescue so the blog's been a bit neglected. I was chilling with my dogs when this commercial came on the screen. Always had a thing for JRTs...maybe because my Shay kinda looks like she might have some JRT in her family tree.

San Diego Area BT Needs Ride - HAPPY UPDATE

5/31 UPDATE: Thanks to a most awesome bully community, we have Plans A, B & most of C in place to bring this sweet guy up north. I am deeply touched by the ongoing support...thank you, everyone, for helping us help these very deserving eggheads. ~Suz

6/15: Busafelo is doing wonderfully in his foster home! This sweet boy enjoys co-owning a few sofas and beds with a bevy of bull terrier and pit bull girls.

...................................................................................

A lovable and larger than life Bull Terrier in La Mesa is losing his home due to foreclosure. Can anyone help with getting him to Northern/Central California? If we can get him as far as Fresno, Bakersfield or Santa Maria/San Luis Obispo he'll have rides the rest of the way. We have about 30 days to work with this hopeful hitchhiker.

Busafelo (named after Alexander the Great's horse, Bucephalus) is intact but has lived peacefully with an intact Pit Bull male and 3 Brussels Griffons. He's 4 years old, black and white, and is reportedly a big teddy bear who's also great with children and adults but not with kitties.

Please contact me at suz@bullyhaven.org or 415/672-7391 if you can help with any legs of his trip.

His potential homes up here and I thank you!!!

Sweet Dreams, Miss Pearl

It is with much sadness that I announce the passing of Miss Pearl on May 22, 2009 at the age of 12. This beautiful and active girl entered our program in 2007 when her loving family lost their home and had to move to an apartment. Although any dog could fit into Hank's home, he chose Pearl as he knew she'd overlooked due to her age. Hank saw to it that Pearl was pampered and added Mortie (formerly Blue) to his family in 2008. Pearl and Mortie adored each other right away and remained inseparable until her last day. Mortie was the son that nurturing Pearl doted on, and Pearl was the anchor that Mortie needed at that time. When Pearl's health started deteriorating earlier this month due to an inoperable nasal tumor, Mortie was always by her side and ensured that she was comfortable. If Pearl moved and wasn't covered by her blanket, Mortie would grumble to let Hank know. The normally playful Mortie became a couch potato to stay by Pearl's side for an entire month. The bond that forms is truly amazing.

Thank you, Hank, for giving this lovely old girl a wonderful home. We are all sharing your and Mortie's grief. Night night, dear Pearl.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all who love and nurture our furry, feathered and scaly gems:

Stanislaus County Boy - HAPPY UPDATE!

5/1 Update: Words cannot express my gratitude for all the transport offers for this old guy! The shelter reports that this sweet old geezer is going to be fostered at the shelter level; and that the family intends to make him a permanent family member! It's so awesome that an older dog will be given a second chance at happiness.

Thank you all...what an honor it is to be part of such a caring community!!!


I don't know much about this 8yo guy, only that he's in an overcrowded and understaffed shelter in the Stockton area. His available date is this Saturday (5/2). Can anyone help with pulling him and/or transporting him partially to our kennel near Santa Rosa? His picture is so pathetic; he's worth a save and may be a candidate for our Compassion Program.

Please call me at 415/672-7391 or email me at suz@bullyhaven.org if you can help. Thanks in advance for any consideration, and for any good thoughts you can send his way.

Sweet Dreams, Ziva

I am deeply saddened to announce the passing of this sweet little momma. She was hit by a car last night after bolting from her foster home. She passed away immediately upon impact.

Heartfelt thanks go to her foster mom, Cairo, who made huge adjustments in her life in order to foster this little fireball. We know Ziva was truly happy and pampered during the past few months. I'd like share a picture of Ziva starting to fall asleep after her beloved tummy rubs.

Cairo called her Biga (Bee-ga). A biga is a starter used in Italian bread baking. A biga is made the night before bread is to be baked and the extra long fermentation develops a great flavor. It looks like a big, puffy white ball; just like a sleeping Bully.

Night, night little princess. You're in great company at the Rainbow Bridge.

Willy's On KOFY TV!

Some SF locals will remember that KOFY (Channel 20) used to feature short clips of viewers' dogs between shows. Sadly, the clips faded from the airwaves and eventually KOFY did too.

Well, KOFY is back after a 10-year absence and so are the dogs! Former rescue guy, Willy, gets to be one of the dogs showcased this month.

Go, Willy! Thank you for being such a great ambassador for the breed

Getting Taser'd Can Be A Good Thing...

Taser is a young (approximately 1.5yo) guy who stole my heart when I saw his pictures. He's the kid you imagine to be the class clown who's forever thinking of new pranks. He's neutered, plays well with a pug (although a bit too big and rough for the little guy), gave a Bullmastiff male thousands of play bows and has been ignoring cats so far. I just had to help our Southern California folks when his finder stood outside a Wal-Mart store with a "Free Bull Terrier" sign. Taser fell into her hands when her daughter rescued him from a shelter before leaving for school.

We're trying to line up transport for him this weekend or else he's back on the streets with his sign; he has a ride from Canyon Lake to Bakersfield so far. If anyone can help with any legs of his trip to SF/Santa Rosa (or close), we and Taser will be forever in your debt! He's been on a 6ft cable for at least 3-4 months, so be prepared to be tasered with affection when you meet him! Taser loves his crate but may need a teeny refresher in house training.

4/5 Update: Big thanks to Amy of Bullmastiff Rescue for evaluating this big boy, picking him up and bringing him to Bakersfield, and to Janice, Eric, Barbara and Dorey (for being on standby) for making it possible for this big, happy boy to get safely to our interim boarding kennel! Stay tuned for this big galoot's progress!

Puppypalooza!

Three puppies have just entered our program:

Chief: 12-week deaf male who is sweet as candy on a stick. He's curious, outgoing, playful and an extremely good puppy (crate and almost potty trained). He's recovering from a bad case of kennel cough so we'll see if he gets more rambunctious when he's feeling better. He enjoys playing with a 5yo female Lab and hanging out with a 6yo little girl in his foster home.

Zuma: 11-week gray brindle girl who has glaucoma in her left eye, could be due to an injury but most likely congenital. Original estimate for the surgery to remove the eye was $1400 - $1500; UCD Teaching Hospital has given an estimate of $500-600 so she's on the waiting list and will have the surgery there early April. In the interim, Zuma gets eyedrops to maintain the pressure in her eye while we raise the funds for her surgery. Zuma has already adapted to the vision loss in that eye so there won't be a transition period after her recovery. This little girl is full of puppy curiosity and loves to play with other dogs; and she is great with cats.

Remy: 8-month guy who is truly a happy-go-lucky fellow! He's all about play and counts a Pug among one of his best buddies. He tries to play with the family cat but gets beat up by him every time. Remy is about 44 pounds and is still full of puppy exuberance and clumsiness. He's very social with people and other animals and can play fetch for hours. He knows he's in trouble if you call him "Remington".

A Village Needed For Sweet Bubba - GOAL MET!!!

Some of you may know Bubba by his former name, Dutch. This honeysweet little guy has gone through so much! Bubba was abandoned in the streets and had a broken left rear leg that was left untreated for months. We raised $710 last year for his neuter and to insert a pin in his leg. The pin was adjusted as it was pressing against his sciatic nerve and eventually had to be removed ahead of schedule due to the pain. Although his bone has healed, he has suffered damage to his sciatic nerve; and he has chewed his toes nearly down to the bone. The best option now to save him from his pain and discomfort would be an amputation of the leg. Bubba's young (a year or so old), very agile and has a great disposition so he's an excellent candidate for an amputation. Plus, he's already not using the leg so his compensation for the loss is already in progress.

The estimate for the surgery is $1500-$1800 which includes a courtesy extraction of a canine tooth with exposed pulp. We don't know how he's been so sweet and affectionate despite all his pain!

I know times are rough but we just had to give Bubba a well-deserved chance and fundraise for this final surgery to resolve all of this little pumpkin's pain. Once he's recovered, this compact 42lb tripod will be available for adoption. He is good with other dogs (wants to play with the resident female BT), great with children but is not cat-safe. He is very sweet and extremely affectionate.

Bubba has a recovery spot lined up but a home where he'll be fostered with the possibility of adoption would be ideal!

Please donate if you can - no amount is too small. We thank you for any support! Your donation will be returned if our goal is not met.

Barb & Pete F., Dorey & Willy, Judy N. & Kobi, John & Alex, and Anna S., $1845 has been pledged/raised - we have met our goal! Words cannot express the depth of my gratitude for the emotional and financial support received for this wiggly boy. Rest assured that I will hug the stuffing out of each one of you when we meet!!!

I've been in touch with a down-to-earth vet acupuncturist who has suggested some self-diagnostics before acupuncture and amputation should be considered. We'll run through some exercises and are keeping our paws crossed for the best! Please stay tuned for updates. I'm truly honored to be a part of such a caring and wonderful bully community!

Dog Bedding Needed!

Thank You For Your Ongoing Patience!

Just wanted to shout a quick "Thanks!" for everyone's patience and understanding. It's been rough year so far with hectic work schedules, a record number of incoming bull terriers, and the declining health of my personal dogs.

I'm running at least a month behind on applications and at a week behind on inquiries but please know that I WILL eventually be returning your call! In the interim, please feel free to call me at 415/672-7391. I don't mind Nag-A-Grams! Really!

Special Foster Home Needed For Sergeant

Sarge is a delightful 2yo boy who is getting into fights with the resident intact lab male. He is great with his family's 2yo daughter and 7yo son. He peacefully co-exists with his family's indoor cats but has dispatched a feral one that jumped into his outdoor pen. Sarge is very affectionate and is a world-class cuddler!

Sarge needs a foster home by March 3rd. We are seeking a bull breed savvy (or one familiar with dog-aggression) permanent/foster home that could help nurse him through his neuter and foster him until a suitable home is found. Since he doesn't play well with most dogs, we would not be able to house him at our boarding kennel. Sarge is about 45 pounds; he is house and crate trained.

If you can help us help Sarge, please contact Suz at suz@bullyhaven.org or at 415/672-7391
















3/1: Sarge passed his evaluation with flying colors yesterday. We found a very charming, people-oriented and curious guy who's very amenable to corrections once he knows you're in charge - basically a normal BT with testosterone issues. He tried to stir up a little trouble with an intact Bull Terrier male but was distracted both times and moved on to exploring the room instead. He acknowleged a spayed female pit bull mix by wagging his tail at her. Sarge apparently still plays well with a neutered chocolate Lab so we really think his incidents are testosterone related. He'll be neutered and will do a few weeks' quasi-bootcamp time (thanks, Melinda!!!). Sarge will need obedience and leash training; and he'll thrive in a structured environment.

Introducing Our Compassion Program

Sometimes a terminally ill or severely dog aggressive bull terrier lands at the shelter through no fault of its own. Do you have the emotional armor to volunteer a bit of time to ensure that such a dog enjoys his/her last hours or days before leaving this planet in loving arms? If so, please contact me for more details.

Modeled after BAD RAP's program, my catalyst and inspiration is a sweet little old and almost hairless unnamed boy who was picked up off the streets by a local Police Department and brought to the Animal Shelter. His eyes were in bad shape; one was badly ulcerated and needed to be removed but due to his severe mange, he likely wouldn't have survived the surgery. Despite his obvious pain and discomfort, he gave the kennel staff big wags and kisses when he was bathed. He wanted to be with people instead of being kenneled alone while waiting for the drugs that would release him permanently from his pain.

I felt compelled to help future bull terriers in this old boy's situation. Many times these dogs have been neglected/abused in their former homes. They are most deserving to be finally loved, albeit a very short time, before they leave this world. Please contact me if you can help make a difference for the dogs selected for this program. Donations to help fund this program would also be appreciated.

Lost Bull Terrier in Martinez! FOUND!!!

1/31 UPDATE: A kind family was housing Queenie until her owner could be found; this little muffin was happily reunited with her family this afternoon. Thanks for all the kind thoughts, everyone!

Former rescue girl, Queenie, bolted from her home in Martinez around 4:15pm yesterday and disappeared around the corner. Her family is heartsick and continuing with their search and canvassing of the neighborhood. If you can help with these efforts, please contact me at 415/672-7391.

Please join us in sending positive energy for her safe return!

Happy New Year!

A caring community made our Home for the Holidays program a success! Ollie, Chico, Jimmie, Shasta and Stevie went home for the holidays and pushy Shasta's the only egghead that isn't on a test drive with a holiday home.

Dutch had emergency surgery to have his pin removed and is doing very well. Now that he's feeling better, he's a playful and mouthy young boy! He adores children and will need to learn a lot of manners. Dutch was to have been adopted by his foster mom, but her health has started to decline so we're looking for a new foster/permanent spot for this chipper boy.

We do have interest in Sherman and Zeus so hopefully they'll be off to their new homes soon. We're trying to get preliminary information on sweet little Lori's condition.

Dozer Jack went on a test drive Saturday with her hopeful family; however, she's returning as she turned out to be quite the little Termite. Great with children; not so good with wood. Twinkle Toes (T.T.) will be spayed next Wednesday and will be off to her test drive next Saturday. Gina/Madison is now Peanut and is having a blast in her new home. Tommy is very sweet, and very bouncy!

I've been slammed with work so many thanks to everyone who has been patient with my increasing backlog - - I will eventually return all calls! Please expect responses after 8pm PST on weekdays; all bets are off on weekends. :o) Feel free to email me at suz@bullyhaven.org.
