Story: “My name is Bruce Wayne and it is because I am related to Batman. For
some reason I was brought into a local shelter and it was the most scariest place I have ever been so I just looked in the corner and shook. I couldn’ t even move but I wanted to leave so bad. I could hear the nice people at the
shelter talking to some nice rescue people about me and asked if they could see how I was when I was in a different environment. I kept my paws crossed so tight that they would give me a shot and they did!!! I got to sleep with my foster mom that night and in the morning I got to run around with other dogs and get cuddles from all the people that came to see me. I was a different dog!! I am now looking for a family to call my very own so I never ever end up in a shelter again!

Organization: Furever Tails Animal Rescue, Oakland Twp.  furevertails.com

Grant Amount Awarded: $100

Rescued from: Calhoun County Animal Center, INC

Story: Reagan was found as a stray that was shot with a gun. X-rays indicated that the bullet was still lodged in her spine and she would potentially need surgery. Expert surgeons were consulted and deemed it not medically necessary to remove the bullet from her spine or it may result in paralysis. However, she suffered side effects of not only lameness in her left hind leg but also incontinence (both bowel and bladder). We tried treating the bladder incontinence with medication (Proin) and also attempted to provide her with a high fiber diet to see if that would help her bowel incontinence. However, it wasn’t until she underwent acupuncture therapy that she began to show improvement. Reagan will need a very special home and family to help her with her challenges.

me to the shelter where she knew I would be safe. The wonderful shelter workers
started to fix me up and knew that I would need more TLC then they could give so
they called CCRC. Of course they stepped up and picked me up. I am getting all
my medical needs taken care of including infections in my ears and eyes and on
