Kringle and Cricket Adopted

Kringle and Cricket were adopted together today! Thanks so much for choosing to adopt from DAS and making room for us to rescue more dogs in need.  We desperately need to get more dogs adopted but we do have criteria that we strictly adhere to in order to ensure our rescues get to live their best lives.
We have so many adult and senior dogs that would love to get their own family, Please consider adding just one more dog to your fur family!
Message our Inbox if you can give one more dog a home.

Larry

Larry was adopted by our lovely long-term supporters Steve and Mae, who first reported him to us.  After being treated for Pancreatitis, Mange, and severe malnutrition, they decided to take him in to their sizeable rescue pack of 15 dogs!  We couldn't be happier for little Larry, who now never needs to worry about a warm, dry place to sleep and plenty of food!  Thanks Steve and Mae!

You can read all about Larry on his profile page here.

Khaleesi

Khaleesi

It was with tremendous sadness that we made the decision today to let Khaleesi go.  Her cancers were only getting worse, and different treatments were having no effect.

Khaleesi

We rescued her just a month ago as she was reported with terrible wounds all over her body. When we brought her to the Sanctuary and had her assessed by the vet we found out that she had multiple mast cell tumors. Unlike TVT tumors, mast cell is extremely difficult to treat. It responds best to a chemo called vinblastin - which luckily we had in stock. After two sessions there was no improvement and there were new tumors popping up.

We switched to another type of chemo and that also had no effect.  Her cancer was particularly aggressive and there was no way to treat it so we made the decision to end her suffering.  Its always such a hard decision but definitely the right one for poor Khaleesi - its just always difficult to make.
We gave her a lovely service and told her how much she was loved.  Run free Khaleesi.
