They turned out beautiful

We have great news! 😍 as some of you know… we REALLY love jailbreaks around here!
This is Memaw. Memaw is a very senior girl who is…. Well truly… just a hot mess. She’s likely gonna keep a vet busy for a while.
Her foster saw her at a local pound and said “Nope, she’s too old to be there, she can come here”.
We aren’t sure how much life she has in her but we are going to make sure her time with us is full of nothing but love and comfort ❤️
If you’d like to donate to Memaw’s care, she would be so grateful…. And we would too!

Help Meemaw & Whyatt on Their Journey to their Forever Homes ❤️🩹
Meemaw arrived in rescue just one month ago after being found as a stray. At around 10 or 11 years old, her initial condition was concerning—severely itchy, scabby, and suffering from painful ear infections so bad that she wouldn’t let anyone touch them. Her skin was dry, irritated, and patchy, and we weren’t sure if she might be a hospice case.
After an initial vet exam under sedation, we finally had some good news:
✅ A 28-day treatment implant was placed in her ears, offering immediate relief.
✅ Her skin issues were treatable with antibiotics, steroids, and medicated baths.
✅ The growth on her paw is non-concerning and can be removed when she’s spayed.
✅ While her teeth are worn, no dental work is needed.
Since starting treatment, Meemaw has transformed. She has stopped scratching, her skin has improved, and her ears are no longer causing her constant discomfort. She will still need another sedated ear exam to check her progress and possibly lab work to determine if further treatment is needed. After that, she’ll have her spay surgery and growth removal—then we hope she’ll be ready to find her forever home!
Her hearing is still uncertain—with ears as bad as they were, she may have permanent hearing loss. But even so, she is sweet, resilient, and deserving of a loving home.
🐾 Whyatt’s Journey 🐾
Whyatt’s story is just as incredible. He was pulled from euthanasia in Arkansas by a foster and later found to be heartworm positive. After undergoing treatment, he remained with his foster for four years before we had the opportunity to bring him into our rescue. His medical expenses alone totaled $766.57, but we’re grateful he’s finally where he belongs.
How You Can Help:
NDLB covers all medical expenses to ensure dogs like Meemaw and Whyatt get the second chances they deserve—but we can’t do it without your support.
