Eskie Rescuers United

Clarence
Little Clarence took what life gave him and dealt with it. Clarence came into rescue because the lady that had him couldn't afford to take care of him. He hadn't had shots or any vet care. He wasn't used to being around people and he assumed that this was his lot in life. Then ERU found him and took him into foster care. Wow the good life at last! Clarence got all vetted and FOOD, wonderful stomach filling food, for the first time in his life. He had it all... plenty to eat, friends to watch play and a gentle pet on the head or behind the ears. Clarence thought life was pretty good. He wanted to make sure that the people responsible for his good fortune knew he loved them. Everywhere his foster Mom went you would see old Clarence plodding along behind. He was a one of a kind fellow... he wanted to make sure foster Mom was within eye shot. He laid in the floor beside her bed so that she would reach down and pet him during the night. Hmmmm... the life of Clarence.

Then poor Clarence begin to feel bad... if he drank a lot of water his foster Mom wouldn't notice how ill he was and the good life would continue. But the time eventually came that Clarence couldn't hide the fact that he was extremely sick. Clarence soon crossed over the Rainbow Bridge knowing that he was clean, warm, loved and well cared for. We will miss you Clarence... you were loved!

Coleman
Coleman was one of the last remaining puppies from Sasha. One of the PA 13 pregnant dogs. He was the smallest one, yet he survived the longest. He lived to be about 3 weeks old. As a last desperate measure, we tried to bottle feed him. He survived 2 more days that way, but eventually succumbed. For the first 2 1/2 weeks he lived in a small area under a box in the ground. For his last few days he got out into the world. He even went camping (hence his name Coleman named after a camping stove) and got a chance to go into Walmart. He was in a handbag but he wanted to see what was going on and he poked his head out. His eyes had just opened recently. Even though he lived only for 3 weeks and we only knew him personally for a few days we were quite saddened by his passing away.

Dan D Lion
Dan D was rescued from the injection of death by merely minutes. When he came into rescue, he was covered in his own urine and feces, was not very socialized and was high heartworm positive. Dan D was a fighter and made it through treatment; but while awaiting for a new forever home, it was found that he had throat tumors. His little body was riddled with cancer.

Dan D was pampered with warm blankets, chicken hot dogs (his favorite) and most of all...lots of love. Dan D and Little Bear inspired their generous foster mom, Jane to make a special memory quilt for Eskies. It was the highlight of ERU's 2006 summer fundraiser and helped to pay for the vet care of many of our special needs Eskies. Dan D's brave heart will always be remembered.

Ghostie aka Goblin
Halloween 2006.... a white furry creature somewhat resembling an American Eskimo dog was found alone, mistreated, sick and dumped in a shelter. Could this weary, sad fellow be helped? The answer was a resounding...YES!! ERU pulled him from the shelter and sent him to a temporary foster home to be stabalized. He was so sick, so sad and so very scared. He was moved to a permanent foster home to start undergoing various treatments... in stepped lots and lots of GOOD HEARTED people. People that had never met Goblin aka Ghostie. People that wanted to HELP this poor little dog. Money for his care started coming in. Inquiries on his health were being asked. Yeah Ghostie! He started to decide that maybe life was going to be okay after all. He gained weight, had teeth pulled, started heartworm treatments. A wonderful woman stepped up and asked to adopt the little guy! Hurrah! Ghostie had a family! A dog couldn't ask for anything more... the lady that was adopting him loved him with all her heart! She just couldn't wait to see her Ghostie. She sent him blankets and toys and treats. He was so happy....but he still didn't feel good. He was fighting for his life....his health started going downhill...until finally the heartworms won. However after such a rough start in life Ghostie had found love! He died knowing many, many people loved and cared about him. He will not be forgotten... he was a rare gem that touched so many lives. Ghostie is now over the bridge, healthy and happy running in the fields with friends that have gone before him. Ghostie WE love you!

Ladybug
Ladybug came into rescue as an owner surrender at the age of 15 years and weighing only 12 pounds. She was a shy, very sweet little girl who got along well with cats, dogs and even the kids in the neighborhood. Ladybug lived with ERU foster, Bill, where she was pampered with vitamins, medicine for her arthritis and lots & lots of love and attention. Ladybug was a fragile little girl who, by just looking at her, grabbed your heartstrings and wouldn't let go.

But Lady's health had deteriorated and she crossed the Bridge at the age of "Sweet 16". Her passing was very tough on her foster parent and he buried her in a place of honor behind his home.
