Saint Nick
By Nicole Wertz 15 Dec, 2023
Nick is a young boy around 6 months old, possibly has some shep and a bunch of other things floating around in that DNA. He has Demodex mange. He is emaciated and has lots of weight to gain. His back legs have a habit of crossing when he walks. That may improve with the right nutrition as he heals.

aysa and her mom
By Abby's Angels Animal Haven 10 Jul, 2023
Aysa joined us on Sept 16 2022 through the combined efforts of CAnine REscue - CARE Inc., Joey's PAW , Code3 Animal Rescue Aviation Team, and Pilots N Paws . Aysa was found in April of that year, in the state of Indiana, with a catastrophic spinal injury. She was found with her deceased mother, both suspected hit by cars. Aysa was taken to a vet clinic…. And there she lived in one of their kennels. At the end of august, Joeys Paw had been contacted by CARE , to see if they knew anyone who could help. Aysa is completely paralyzed from the bottom of her ribcage down, and If no one could be found, Aysa would be euthanized, as living in a kennel at a vet clinic is not a life she should be experiencing. Joeys Paw asked us, we said yes. Mark took up the task of planning her freedom flight and his team at Code 3 worked together with Pilots and Paws to get Aysa from Indiana to PA. Every pilot fell in love with her and we can’t thank them enough for getting her to us. When Aysa arrived that Friday evening, she went home with the director to be assessed, evaluated and to await her foster being ready for her. Upon arrival we noticed she had a very infected sore on her hip. It was cleaned, treated. But it was concerning. Over the weekend, we learned she loved baths. She needed her bladder expressed, but she could defecate on her own. She Wasn’t fond of other dogs, wasn’t real happy with new people in her space she didn’t know….. but her resilience and strength shone through every moment. The next week, she met her new foster mom, and she really didn’t care for her at first, but I told her that Aysa would be fine, have faith. And she was. She went to the vet where we learned how catastrophic her injuries were. And that they could not be fixed with surgery, with any treatment. At that point in time, her leg was ravaged with infection. We honestly didn’t know if her prognosis was good at all. And then Aysa said, hold my ball. Her leg healed, other cuts and infections creeped in, but those healed too. She got a scooter that she hated, a drag bag she’s not fond of, a set of wheels she only tolerates for short burst of time (the way her back is broken, she can not sit straight in a chair), a stroller she loved taking rides in, and an insane amount of toys, treats, and love. She bonded with her foster mom, they settled into a routine, they became two halves of a whole. Aysa got stronger. She learned she likes to walk on her front legs. And while a lot of people are horrified at that—we don’t make her do it. We have given her EVERY tool for assistance getting around and she gives us a middle toe. She wants to do it on her own. She’s determined. She’s full of fire. She’s courageous and she’s a survivor. We’ve been posting her for ten months—not one inquiry. So we sat down and had a very long and very serious talk about Aysa’s future. And here is what has been decided. Aysa will be staying with her foster mom… no longer a foster, but as a forever. She’s been home since the week after she arrived. They have their routine down. She is safe, loved, cherished, extremely well taken care of, and she is most importantly….. happy. We do not know what Aysa’s future holds in regard to how long she’ll continue being the firecracker she is, but we do know she won’t know even one second without love and kindness. Aysa will remain under Abby’s Angels for her vetting for life because we do not know what time will bring. So we may still ask for things for her from time to time. We hope you’ll help if needed. And in the meantime—thank you to her foster, now forever mom. For loving her, for saying yes, for caring for her, for being the savior she needed and always will. We appreciate you and are so grateful and extremely happy for you both. To Joeys Paw, Code 3 Animal Rescue …. Thank you for your continued assistance with everything this girl has needed. We couldn’t have been what she needed otherwise. The first three photos are her now with her forever mom. The rest are the first we ever got of her, and her journey the first week until she went home… we just didn’t know it yet.
