Can
Tootsie Come Home With YOU ?
An 8 year old jack russell
mix, Tootsie is full of energy and a bundle of fun. She’s in serious need of a GOOD home with YOU !! Very active, loves to give kisses, a really
sweetie!! Tootsie needs some one who
can give her lots of exercise. She’s a
very sweet and loving little girl.
Tootsie does not get along
with cats or larger dogs, she’s been ok with dogs up to beagle size. She certainly wants to be the boss! And she can climb over six foot high fences!
With all those restrictions,
her life isn’t much fun at Rikki’s and she spends most of her time in a cage
for her safety. You know, it’s just not
smart to corner some of these big old cats and bark in their face when you’re
not much bigger yourself !!!! And
Beauty and Kiki aren’t about to tolerate being bossed around by somebody no
bigger than a cat!!!
Tootsie knows how to walk
well on leash and must wear a harness because the collar alone bothers her
throat and makes her cough. She ended
up in the pound cuz she was terribly sick with lung worms and her owners didn’t
want to pay her medical bills. The
worms are all gone now, and she’s a happy healthy little girl. She has been left with scar tissue on her
lungs, so she coughs a bit when she gets to worked up, but is just fine.
Is there a place in YOUR
life for her?

Family
Displaced After Disaster
Mom and her sole surviving
baby will now live happily ever after at Rikki’s Refuge.
A local citizen had close to
100 birds living at their home ... ducks and chickens and geese and guinea
fowl. A predator got into their area
and embarked on a mass murder. Fewer
than two dozen survived the attack. The
citizen called animal control for help.
They responded, found the area unsafe for the remaining residents to
spend even one night and immediately went to work to save the remaining
birds.
An emergency call to Rikki’s
Refuge and we got busy setting up temporary habitat for the survivors. they’ll all be vetted, treated for parasites
and acclimated to Rikki’s before joining our happy and safe bird
communities.
Animal control took time out
of their busy day to catch everyone and transport them to Rikki’s Refuge. Orange county is an outstanding community
that really cares about their animal residents. Thank you Ginny from Orange County Animal Control for saving all
these lives !!!!
