Did you check to see if you can find him on the internet maybe do searches on his name and age, You can pm me and I can try to do a search for him maybe he has found someone to stay with by now. And at least this way you at least know he is okay and maybe can contact him on the internet and let him know he is missed and is welcome with you.

Took this dog back to another vet who did more by taking blood sample and sample of his hair as he is losing some hair and he was put on antibiotics for two weeks and vet was hesitant to give vaccinantions at this time but did it anyways. Turner the coon hound is still have some issues with losing fur and getting diahrrea at times but other wise is gaining weight and getting much stronger, vet thinks he could have something called cushings disease or something that is causing his kidneys to not function right, he could even have a hormonal problem that is causing some of his problems. He has been dewormed for everything except heart worm, thinking that is going to be the next step and then see where we go from there, right now neuter is out of the question until we know more of what is going on. He does seem to have problems with his breathing such as at night sometimes sounds like he is panting but he isn't and sometimes sounds like he is whinning but yet it does not look like he is, and he drinks a lot of water which he drinks from two gallons to three gallons a day but is starting to show a little decrease with some days going back up but he should be drinking max of three quarts a day. He has slowed down a bit on how much food he needs but still tries to eat a lot and I have to limit how much he takes still as not all the food absorbs into his system yet and the extra food is then put through the colon and is wasted and also can cause bactierial infection and problems in the digestive system. I am thinking he could have damage from being so emaciated and also thinking he was dumped or escaped from somewhere he was either abandoned or neglected from. He does not know proper dog etiquette on the lead and does not follow commands and acts like a hyper puppy. He does play good with the other dogs and cats when I let him play but have to be cautious until we find out what is going on with him. He has bad gas lately as well, but at least he does not stink as bad as he did when we first got him, and is not pooping as much either, and with weight gain it has to be a good sign, He does need to have his ears flushed and treated a couple times a day for at least a few more days to make sure that yeast infection in ears is gone. And getting his antibiotic down him is almost impossible and I have to push it down his throat or try to trick him but the later does not work well he is too smart for that. This dog is going to be expensive and take a lot of tender loving care and also alot of work getting him to listen and follow commands.

Just got back from Vet first time visit and he is pretty good priced for what he does and he seems real nice. He only does minimal vet care but what he did for our rescue was did diagnose bad yeast infection in the ears which we got a wash to clean out his ears and some drops to treat him with, got him some worm medicine he needs one dose every week for three weeks because of infestation, tape worm medicine, and to feed him two cups of food twice a day for a few more days give or take then gradually work him up to more so that he can digest the food properly, he has what appears to be possible frost bite on his ears as well, and will need some good training in a week or two with walking on a lead and to learn his commands along with be taught to stay out of the garbage. Vet says it could take about four months or so to get back to his regular weight give or take. So with lots of patience and love and care he will recover in time. Vet said he has a heart murmur but kind of sounded maybe it was from whip worm maybe or some kind of worm. I will get him started on his meds and in a week or two will give him revolution which will protect him from ticks, flees, worms, etc.

Okay this is a sad thing but yet a good thing, I got a call by a resident who had a Coonhound show up on their property that was emaciated and needed a lot of care, they were told by a local veterinarian to call me so they did and I picked him up Saturday night but did not realize how bad the poor thing really was, and yesterday gave him a bath and learned he is going to need time, lots of patience and treatments to help him get back on the road to being back to a normal life. He is a great dog and it is a shame that he had to get this bad.

If you want to help please donate via paypal got to http://www.paypal.com and chose to donate and use the email address  lindasanimalrescueshelter@gmail.com  for location donation goes to or you can donate with http://specialgiftsforxmas.chipin.com/rescued-coon-hound-fund even $1 per person will add up and help this poor guy get better. Thank you for even just reading his story and check back for updates on him....

A lot of people don't know what to do if they lose their dog which I suggest make sure you always have current pictures, vaccinations have the pet spayed or neutered and microchipped to make sure they have a better chance to make it back home, and if you pet does come up missing call local police, animal rescues and shelters, visit the shelters and rescues and call veterinarians and let them know as they maybe called if someone finds a pet that appears to be lost. Make sure you talk with neighbors as well and recheck shelters and rescues both calling and visiting.

This Coonhound may have been with a hunting party and got separated from the party and being he did not come back they considered him for dead. Never consider your animal dead as they can be on the run even three months or more and still survive. I have a dog I took in seven months ago that is living proof of that ....

Anyone that can help this poor guy with vet care by donating please do. I have chipin page and paypal where you can donate. All this money goes towards his care such as the much needed special food to help him get his weight back, and get treatments that is will need for deworming and possible mange that is curable, and to get special vitamins. I will keep everyone up to date on his care and recovery.. just to see him is to love him, but to see him so thin and his bones all showing....

I am pushing myself too hard and having back pain and numbness in legs and feet and hands but worth it, as once I get the shelter going then I can slow down again, but also have help now as well. I have several people now helping me rescue animals, and to help get things together to get this shelter opened and running. If things keep going at this pace I may be lucky and have a shelter in this area open by summer.

I am getting very excited but also may be pushing myself too hard but is worth it and starting to show. I have sent letters to the commissioners and called the planning and zoning department for our county and once they call back I will have to check every cities ordinances for kennel/animal shelter and then plan and look from there for a good place to locate the shelter.

I have gotten so much support about this opening an animal shelter I have seven Veterinarian offices, Law enforcement, local residents and even some rescue groups and other shelters that support my idea and some even already coming forward to help in the shelter some volunteer and others need to be paid, I also have one of the commissioners in our county that offered to help and way he can... that in its self is a great thing. I have to also start fundraising to raise some money for the non profit registration and to start getting equipment and supplies we may need and this way we will be ready for when we open the shelter. I did interview for one of the local newspapers that contacted me and asked if they could do a story on me and my shelter plans or wants and what I am already doing..

I am putting myself in a stressful situation that I should not be in but I feel once this shelter is in place and going things will be a lot less stressful.

By voting you are helping animals get better chances of finding their forever homes and please tell friends, family and so on to come visit my website as well... I have appointment with local newspaper as well that is going to do an article about my shelter plans to help get support along with possible financing to get it going. It sounds like I have a great start and to keep it going have to pass the word around. In the mean time I have to still do something to help animals find forever homes and to keep them out of danger and so on so I help post them and find them homes.

I ask that everyone visit my shelter website and it is free, and please vote for a pet or pets of the month as I am trying to help place 26 animals that need homes so they do not get put down. I will be doing a weekly news column in our local news papers if they let me, know one for sure is going to ... the animals chosen will be advertised there with a link to my shelter website. I am trying to get an animal shelter started in my area one that will be non kill and will work with other shelters as well... here is the link to the adoption page where you can vote.... adoption page-vote now feel free to explore and comment on my website.

I am in a little better situation today but still upset about some of the things going on in mylife.. and to make me feel better I am working on a project to raise some money to send care packages to people in need, I am working on a webpage, and plans on how the care package program will work and how to request or order a package for someone etc.

My fundraiser I am doing recipe book with recipes donated by others and some of my own, will also have a special site for this as well so others will be able to order a book, not sure yet how much it will cost for the books, but also need to get a working printer that can print color and can scan and fax things... for the printer I have now was only used to print test page and then shut off for the night and then would not turn back on, tried to get a new cord well it worked for about a minute and faded out.. so must be adapter or printer... and too late for warranty on the printer unless I keep bugging them about it.. maybe they can replace it... but I doubt that the way my luck is going.

But will keep trying to get it going otherwise will have to find someone to help with a new printer, need it anyways so I can save money to fax papers to the ssi and disability people, and can scan in some recipes and tax info that way I don't have to type so much..

I am dealing the best I can and between the care package program and the fund raiser I am keeping busy and also trying to re organize my house before insurance company comes out as they told us that we can't have anything laying around and we have to make sure my german shepherd who has not hurt anyone but does growl and threaten people who come into my home or she thinks is going to hurt me but I take precautions and yet they say I need to get rid of her.. she is also my companion dog who when I do fall down she will stand infront of me so I can get back to my feet when temp paralysis stops, and she is my protection as I had a few people try to walk in the house while I am here and it is no one we know cause pearl would not get agitated if it was someone she knows and she knows a lot of the neighbors and family... and the person was caught by surprise and ran leaving the door open behind them.

Pearl can even tell me if my health is bad or not and alerts if possible seizure can happen which she would do when my other dog a boston terrier was going to have a seizure. So I am going to talk to doctors and counselor and see if they can help keep her without insurance denying us, if we can't get insurance we lose our house to the already nasty man we are buying the house from.

 in response to asutt28...  Asutt28 are you getting any kind of assistance from the state or government? Also most states do look at the situation such as who has cared for the children while together, if you were the one who took care of the kids such as feed them, bath them and so on they take that into consideration and depending on his situation other than his work such as is there any abuse reports and neglect on his part or your part, and if the kids are old enough they may let them chose who they prefer to stay with...

 

It is a hard thing to go through and make sure he uses his own attorney as I learned the hard way my ex said he was defending himself but yet talked to my attorney and seemed to get exactly what he wanted and left me with headache and hassles. If your low income you can get some sort of legal assistance. Make sure you read everything no matter how desperate times are as he can have things thrown in and you not realize it until all is said and done. Read all find print as well. Be strong and don't show him you are scared. Been through it myself.. and if you have a income and it should not matter how much it is, and a place to live etc you should be able to get the kids.

I am getting so depressed both cause of seasonal depression but also starting to have some real hard times financially and not so much getting to far behind but enough to cause some stress.

The to make things worse we are get canceled after two months of service for home owners insurance that according to our contract we are supposed to have in place, they canceled cause they say the structure is not good and we have slate/asbestos siding, and the seller also was my landlord for a year thinks he can boss me around and walk into my house without permission or notice and we have a contract for deed and are buying the house. He is starting to look like a scammer type of person. I wish I could find another person to help us finance this house and the payments would go to them instead of this gentleman... We are buying the house for $59,000 but I was told before paperwork it would 57000 anyways we pay $154.00 every payday straight from my boyfriends check right to this guys account, and we have not missed a payment not even for rent and we will be here two years next april ...

We have a contract for deed for three years and then we have to find financing for the rest but after rereading paper work which we were kind of rushed through the day we closed and sounds like most of the money we pay is interest and the mortgage will hardly have been touched...

I don't want to move cause this is a nice house and very efficient utility wise and also with my depression and disability it would make the stress much greater and I could have a heart attack or stroke. I try to keep the stress down.

I am beginning to not trust people anymore. And this seller cause of the way he is very pushy and throws attitudes and fits without listening to what we need to say, and it is always about his health, his money needs and so on... I should have stayed in the dumpy house that was falling apart instead... if I knew he was going to do this kind of thing. I wish I could work and get a better income in our home but I can't right now the stress here is a lot to handle and already is taking a toll on me.. I gave up my attempt to open an animal shelter for now but will try later after this situation is cleared up.

Thank you for sharing this is very inspirational.

Had my yard sale today sold some stuff, and talked to a lot of our local residents and learned I am not the only one taking in and rescuing animals but we all have no more room without getting into trouble with having too many animals. All them that I talked to told me to keep trying and fighting and they would love to see the shelter get opened... I am going to write a story and see if I can put it in the paper as well as maybe call a meeting here in town about the shelter. I am going to call our mayer and talk to him as well and his kids are kind of friends with my kids and is real nice...

I am also looking at an old building to use for now and it is selling for $399000 and comes with all the items inside it which I can sell or auction of in silent auctions and money made will go to fix the building and set it up for a shelter and maybe a flee market space for others that have crafts and items they want to sell... and they can rent tables for so much a week, weekend, month. etc. Just an idea though.. still need money for the building and for registration of shelter and to get certified for non profit as well then we can do major fundraiser and the donors can use donations given to us as tax deduction. I got about three dollars today donation for the shelter going to put that in a bank account but need the secratary of state registration first for that to happen... that is about $300 there....

I also want to add I am not looking for anything for myself accept the satisfaction I am able to help someone less fortunate have one special day or package to let them have a smile for one day. I will not be using any of the money I earn for me nor my family but to use it to help animals and other people. I hope that some of the people who see this find it in their heart to help me out on this project.

I do have a website for the shelter I am trying to open and am willing for a reward I am willing to post ads for legitimate companies for a certain amount of time, for more information contact me and I will discuss the options.

I am not a non profit yet and just starting out but once I get enough funds will get the paperwork turned in for non profit.

 

I am trying to help animals in my local area that are right now in need of rescue for I just learned by a fellow citizen that the animals have no where to go and they are in danger of being shot or killed off by local residents cause there is no where they can go and if I had this shelter up and running we could take them in and find their forever homes. Even the Veterinarians are turning them away now... To help with this project donations of money, pet food or supplies, pet toys, pet beds, kennels and anything we can use for the shelter are welcome and items can be shipped to this address here at Linda R  po box 314 ,browerville, mn 56438 and money can be donated into an account on this page....Cash Donations and to support my cause and if you cannot help that way you can also pass on my project to others you know to get the word out. Jacks Second Chance Rescue and Shelter

 

Project two is to help those less fortunate like me have items they need, I am continuely receiving clothes, household items etc from others and even get left over yard sale items and have a lot to go around and decided to send packages including clothing, household items, housewares when possible to those in need,  I am collecting donations to help with shipping, and to provide gifts for special occassion such as a special gift for a family that otherwise would not have anything on christmas and some food maybe, or a small birthday gift, toiletries, etc. I will set up a wish list of items that can be sent and of special items that have been requested or suggested as a special gift. I want to also include if someone requests a special gift for a less fortunate person for a christmas or birthday wish such as a cd player etc would like to try to make that wish also come true but now it is not that easy. And knowing how depressing and alone it can make one feel gives me this inspiration to try to do this.  I have two links for funding this one and they are for helping with Donate for shipping costs   and Donate for gifts .  

 

I know I may be expecting way too much and probably setting myself for another big let down but guess when you are disabled and can't work you have to do something to try to bring your spirits up and this is what would help me to bring my spirits up. 

I am not sure this will help but if you want you can visit this site of a great company that has a variety of companies world wide and does a variety of jobs from printing, web services and so on.. check them out and they have great pay and benefits and are a top company they are about 300 in the top fortune 500 company... and they have lots of perks as well,.... used to work for them myself and once you are hired and finished probation period they also have programs to help their employess for some things, http://rrdcareers.silkroad.com/ hope this helps... My prayers are with you that everything turns out...

I am disabled and unable to work and even though I am struggling I am still trying to make a difference in others lives by helping with donating clothes and household items I don't need any more and trying to get help to open a non profit, no kill animal shelter that will not only help the animals but can help the low income, disabled, elderly and even homeless keep their pets and to help cut down on the strays and over population of animals being thrown to the streets. I am also going to work the shelter to assist in theraputic programs to help with depression, autism and so on.
