Dear Friends,

One of the things we pride ourselves in is the community which we serve.  Our community, our village, is critical to all we do.  Whether in time, talent, or treasure, so many are ready to help the most vulnerable Boykin Spaniels.  

Our year started off with an intake of nine puppies on New Year's Day and has not let up since.  Through mid-May, we have taken in 45 dogs which puts us on a run rate over 120 dogs for the year. To date, we have had 12 catastrophic cases. In addition to the typical intakes requiring spay/neuter (77%) and heartworm treatment (9 in care being treated), we have taken in blind dogs. Dogs requiring advanced diagnostics. Dogs requiring spinal surgeries as well as a puppy with Swimmers Syndrome-all of these dogs requiring extensive therapy. Other surgeries include a TECA surgery; an obstruction surgery; a hernia surgery; an eye surgery; a cesarean section; mass removals; and a dog that could not walk as a result of autoimmune issues. While Jeannine has done an outstanding job managing the expenses of the 99 dogs under our care thus far in 2022 --45 intakes, 25 PFC dogs, and 26 dogs that rolled over from 2021-- the veterinary/medical needs to rehabilitate these catastrophic cases have been cumbersome. But, because of your support, each of these dogs is doing incredibly well and has a great quality of life. 

Each of these dogs has a village of people who are part of their journey.  Those that ID the dogs, transport, and foster.  Others who assist with administrative tasks making sure expenses and medical records are filed. Incredible veterinary teams and advisors, physical therapists, and dog trainers.  In some cases, a dog's team can be ten or more people working together to make their journey seamless. 

You are part of our village. Our goal is to raise $100,000 in the next thirty days.  These funds are critical to provide the care each of our rescues need.

We are incredibly grateful for your support-  your time, your talent, and your treasure.

With gratitude,

Jill Freeman
President

The New Year's Nine- Little Bit's Story

Picture
2022 started off in a big way with the intake of a litter of 9, 5 -week-old Boykins, including one special little girl with a congenital deformity to her back end. "Little Bit" may have been the runt of the littler and unable to walk at first due to her condition, but she made up for that with a fierce determination to be the biggest little dog in the pack! The foster drove to Mississippi State Veterinary Teaching Hospital for an evaluation and they determined that she had the highest level of luxating patellas, and recommended followup at 6 months for surgery. But the same determination that made Little Bit so competitive helped her to make great strides in physical therapy, as she underwent a 3 week board and train program to undergo daily, intensive exercises and therapeutic treatments to gain muscle mass and learn appropriate gait and movement. Just past 6 months now, Little Bit continues with her therapy under the guidance of Auburn Veterinary College, and surgery is not an immediate need, though still on the table later down the road.





​Logan
came into Boykin Spaniel Rescue's care at the age of 8 after his family's home situation changed. He had exhibited a fear of strangers in his prior home; and, this behavioral issue continued with his foster, requiring extensive training and counter conditioning. He also was found to have a degree of arthritic and spinal change that added a dimension of pain management to his care. Given his age, behavior and need for ongoing pain management, Logan was designated a Permanent Foster care. Logan resides with his experienced foster, and along with his village (theBSR medical and behavioral team as well as his veterinarian) he is thriving!
