Zip Tie Puppy and Mom Recovering at Operation Kindness

 
Twyla Fae when she arrived
Two puppies and one mother dog who were the victims of cruelty in East Dallas are now safely recovering at Operation Kindness. Someone had place zip ties around the necks of the puppies and as they grew larger they were suffocating while their wounds were becoming infected. Unfortunately Twyla Fae, seen left when she first arrived at Operation Kindness, was very swollen and the zip tie had to be removed by our veterinarian after Twyla received a heavy dose of pain medicine. The tie had actually grown into her skin.

Sweet mother Charlotte
Dallas Animal Control made several attempts to recover all of the dogs and after many days each was removed and taken to Operation Kindness. No owners have been identified for animal cruelty charges. Unfortunately one of the puppies passed away from the injuries, but Twyla Fae, her sister Chelsie, and mom Charlotte are at Operation Kindness. Charlotte, the mother dog, has many scars on her neck and face- evidence of a life hard lived. She is incredibly sweet, though, and will give you kisses the second you sit and talk to her. Maybe she understands that she is now in safe hands.



Chelsie
Sister Chelsie did not have wounds from zip ties, however we have discovered she may have a heart murmer and we are currently running tests. She also has a very bad cold we are treating with antibiotics. From the current photo of Twyla Fae below you can see she is recovering well in our animal hospital. We hope to have her available for adoption in late February. To watch a video from CBS News click here.

Update! Twyla Fae was adopted into her forever home on Saturday, February 18th, 2012!!! A comment from her new family, "Twyla Fae, (now Mae Joon), is thriving and getting along well in our home. She loves to play, eat, and sleep! She comes with me to work at The Velvet Snout and is making lots of friends! Her wound is almost completely healed and she is growing so fast! Still leery of strangers tho, and rather be chased then come to you, but we're working on that. Thank you Operation Kindness for your care and abilities that have made it possible for our family welcome Joon home. She is loved and cherished, even more so because of her sad story. You guys are awesome and I just can't thank you enough!" Mama Charlotte was adopted in late September, and this entire family now has homes!


Twyla Fae hoping for a home soon!

    Seriously some people need help, such needless abuse. So glad they are in good hands now.

    I would like to correct that NONE of my neighbors had an issue with the puppies being rescued. The only person that had an issue was the owner of the property, who does not live there. My neighbors searched, checked traps, bribed with food and cheered the capture of all the pups and mom. My neighbors are awesome!! Two employees at DAS worked hard to capture Mom and tried to catch the babies. Twyla Fae was captured by an individual rescuer who spent 3 hours plus crawling through mounds of garbage and literally tunneled through garbage to get her. DAS also placed the no kill trap and removed Chelsie once she was caught. DAS worked hand in hand with independent rescuers and my neighbors every inch of the way. YaY for DAS , YaY for my neighbors AND YAY for independent rescuers!! A huge amount of thanks (OH.. and give Donations) goes to Operation Kindness for taking these two pups and Momma Charlotte. Another round of thanks (Think Donations again) goes to Take Me Home Rescue for stepping up and taking our beautiful Hannah, the other sister of this group.
