Dogs for Days: Takin' in Strays |
We at "Blue Moon Ranch" seem to attract various "stray" animals. Using the name "stray", we do not mean it in a negative way, it's just that most of the critters that show up here have had an obviously rough life. I'm mainly speaking of the dogs & cats that have found their way here. (Although we have managed to gathered a "stray" Pot Bellied Pig & four stray chickens.)
Anyway, most of the dogs and cats that have arrived here had a variety of problems, including heart worm, flea & tick infestation, mange, malnutrition, "wolf worms", not to mention the obvious physical abuse (many take months for them not to flinch when you just raise your arm to reach for something). So, here at Blue Moon Ranch, we try to show the animals a better way of living. Some of the more healthy dogs with "good attitudes" we can find homes for, but many are too fearful or aggressive to other people, so we keep them "fat & happy" here at the ranch. Along with the strays, we do have other animals, which by viewing the pictures below, you may see for yourselves. (Click on a picture to see it in a larger version). | |
