About a week ago..... this little guy was spotted off Dodson near the Sak N Save in the Corridor of Cruelty. Our feeding station volunteer snapped photos and told us that she thought he was dying. He was snarly and not easy to approach. Others tried to find him later in the week but couldn't. On Saturday, a volunteer did find him on the same pile oftrash and asked me what to do. I figured it would only be a mercy mission, but go ahead and bring him to our clinic. I simply couldn't take on another dog...... and this little guy surely couldn't be salvaged. NOT TRUE!!! After learning of his tail wagging, and the sweet look in his eye, I decided that I would consider carefully what my vet had to say after examining him. I thought maybe some miracle would allow me to give him a chance. So far, one miraculous fact is that little Charlie is heartworm negative. However, the rest of the story is not so good - he has a broken leg, serious eye infections, and a bad case of demodectic mange. Everything manageable enough except for the mounting bills at the clinic and this making 8 dogs I have in boarding. If anyone would like to contribute to his care and the others that Corridor Rescue is currently nursing back to health thru heartworm treatment (2), mange (2), eye disease (2), broken bones (4), and other assorted maladies, please phone or mail a payment to our clinic at:

On the Tom's of Maine website, I vote for Corridor of Cruelty daily, and send reminders to my friends to do so. If you win the $20,000 as one of the five top vote-getters (which you deserve), I trust that sum will help pay for the many and mounting bills.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, I am prayerfully upholding the innocence, integrity, intelligence, and, indeed, perfection of these precious creatures of God -- and of you, their finders/rescuers/caretakers! You are serving your "brothers and sisters" in the way we're all called to do. Bless you!
Just saw the coverage of your efforts on CNN and googled to find you. I am in tears and love you for what you are doing! I am currently doing temporary work but will start working FT in Sept. Hopefully I can help you some financially once I'm working FT again. In-the-meantime, if there's any administrative work or anything else I could help you with, please let me know. Thanks again SO MUCH for helping these precious fur babies!!! xoxo! Janelle in Dallas, TX
ReplyDeleteGOD BLESS YOU for your efforts. I am an animal lover myself, and have 7 of my own. I would take in more if I had the property and means to do so. It tears out my heart to hear of such stories of animal neglect and cruelty. I struggle every day wanting to do more to help God's most precious creatures...I do the best I can with donations to various animal orgnanizations. Again, God Bless you. There is a very special place in Heaven for people like you!

I also saw you profiled on CNN's HEROES this morning and praise the work you do. I am an animal lover also and seeing and hearing of such cruelty to these innocent beings is disgusting. Thank you for all your work. I am also getting out my checkbook to pen a check to you - hopefully it can help a little.

I just saw you on CNN Heroes. Wow, you are an amazing person. I am sick over these ignorant people who harm poor helpless animals who can not defend themselves. You should be very proud, you are doing an excellent job. Keep it up. I just called and made a donation and hope it helps with your vet bills. Julie Boston, Mass
ReplyDeleteWe have rescued 10 dogs oer the last seventeen years and kept them. All of our rescues are loving ad protective of us. When I see what you are doing, I wanted to thank you and I will contribute as soon as I pay off my last vet bill. Thank you Deorah Hoffman, you are a beautiful person.
ReplyDeleteI am so HAPPY to see that someone is doing something about this appalling situation. I am from Washington State, but stayed a month in Houston to get on with Halliburton to go to Iraq. I have volunteered at animal shelters for years -I couldn't believe what I was seeing in Houston. It broke my heart and I am so very grateful that finally people are doing something about it. Thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteAnimals, dogs, etc, need a Law to Protect them from abusers and cruelty, here in Houston cruel, evil people leave little dogs out in the yard in steamy 90's degress weather tided to a leash, totally neglected
