Wanted to give a HUGE shout out to everyone that helped us help BBOM alumni Atticus and his family. We sent 2 cases of food and just ordered 5 more along with a few other things that are helpful with ME dogs and also we have $400.00 we can apply to his follow up vet visit.
Why? Well because our rescue family is amazing and we appreciate every single one of you

As I ordered food to send to Gracie yesterday, I realized I never posted her reunion video
We were contacted by our local Veterans Hospital about a gentleman that needed to get some medical help but was refusing because there was nowhere for the one thing that mattered most in his life - and that was Gracie
Virginia and Paul did not hesitate to step up to foster her for 4-6 weeks and while with the rescue we covered 100% of a vet visit and we will continue to provide Gracie with food and whatever else she needs
Kindness does matter rescue family and without a doubt I have learned that you never judge a situation unless you know all the facts
Gracie and Dad are back together and we are here for them if they need us

Okay now that I have my glasses , I need to ask our rescue family for a little help - most of my morning was busy sending supplies to some families and then another situation came about that we could use some help with as sadly I just do not have money trees growing in the back yard and if I did the dogs would dig them up anyways.
Atticus came to the rescue in November 2022 - he belonged to a very dear friend that passed away from cancer - Atticus and Archie came to the rescue - Archie came to The Wagner Zoo and Atticus went to be fostered by The Curll Family but it became clear he belonged with their family and foster went to adopted. Because I promised Heather I would make sure they were always cared for if any of her animals came to me , we still provide monthly heartworm prevention/flea tick prevention to Atticus for the rest of his life.
But just recently Atticus started having some issues and was diagnosed with ME (mega esophagus) - yes it can happen like that - they do not always have to be born with it . And good gravy I know I am versed in this diagnosis because of Stella - he had another emergency visit this morning as he aspirated some and has some fluid in his lungs. The family has spent a fortune just in the past few weeks on his care and they wanted to put him on a prescription food and well if you have any animals on prescription food - the cost is off the charts - when Stella was going through this - this is the food that I found worked the absolute best for her and I really want to send a few cases to the family to help with expenses.
Can we get 30 people to send $5.00 so I can send them 3 cases or you can go to our amazon wish list and send a gift card and I will order the food and have it sent directly to them.
It is not very often we ask for help when it comes to ordering things people in the community need but we have spent a small fortune helping many in the past 2 weeks , so we could really use your help and as I always say - once a BBOM dog - always a BBOM dog and we will help however we can.
Donations can be sent to

PayPal (boxerbuttsandothermutts@yahoo.com)

Venmo (underdogs4ever #4148 Heidi Wagner - make sure it is all lowercase as that is the correct one)

and I will put our amazon wish list in the comments if someone would rather send a gift card -
If we raise more I will send other supplies that I know will be helpful
Lets help BBOM alumni and his family

Well over 30 minutes of my day was just spent on the floor trying to reason with a cat , not a normal cat either - I was cleaning the bathroom and scrubbing the shower and it got steamy in there and my glasses fogged up - I took them off for all of 10 seconds and set them on the sink and then they were gone and as you all know I am basically legally blind without them - I come out and start looking for Tiny and he just walks up to me like nothing is wrong rubbing up against my leg and I sit down and am telling him what a good boy (with my fingers crossed ) and asking him what he did with my glasses - I swear to you - he was laughing - I realized the trying to reason with him was not going to work so I got up and blind as a bat tried to watch his every move and he knew it - he just kept walking around with that tail up like - ha ha blind lady what are you going to do now - it was then Truvy or at least from what I could see it was Truvy - went under the couch - so I dive down like I am literally racing against Tiny and sure enough there were my glasses - Truvy just batting at them with her little paw. Put them on looked at Tiny and said I was crossing my fingers when I said you were a good cat - he walked up slapped my leg and left the room pouting
Fun times - fun times without a doubt

Long over due update on Pip (was formerly known as Odin) Pip came to the rescue on 7/30/24 - another amazing rescue reached out to us after they took him in from another not so amazing rescue (you know the kind that try to vet them themselves - hence why he had yellow teeth from the medication they gave trying to treat him themselves and basically they almost killed him) but Pam reached out knowing this little boy was in seriously bad shape and we took him in and boy what a ride it was for sure - I am not sure how he was still alive but he was and he quickly needed emergency life saving care including a blood transfusion which one of the amazing techs let her dog donate that life saving blood - it was touch and go for some time and most of you remember all the pictures of mostly him being held all the time - we had to keep him warm as he could not regulate his temperature himself - encourage him to eat but once he felt better he kept that bowl close as he did not want to miss a meal - he finally was doing great - bloodwork was checked regularly and we had normal levels for a couple of weeks and we decided after several months that we were going to vaccinate him with his first puppy vaccine as he had no previous vaccines, I was nervous and I remember making that post - within 24 hours of the vaccine his body said nope - I had to bring Weezer out of blood donor retirement for another blood transfusion - I remember my daughter driving me to the vets as fast as she could and his little limp body on my lap wrapped in blankets and I told him we did not fight this hard to lose this battle and this little guy fought with all he had and we rebounded after several weeks of critical care.
But we learned that more than likely he was born with an autoimmune disorder and any kind of vaccine, trauma to the body, surgery, etc is going to throw his body into emergency response and to be honest I am not sure we could get him back if it happened again - the decision was made that there would be no more vaccines and neutering him was also a HUGE risk so that was not done. So basically I call Pip the "Bubble Dog" - can I keep him safe - yes of course I can - it changed the dynamics here at the Zoo as far as bringing fosters here - none can come directly from the shelter before going through quarantine somewhere else - nothing with a known sickness can come here because his immunity can't take it - he is on a several supplements to keep his immune system as strong as we can , but today (the last picture) he is a happy, healthy, sassy boy that keeps me on my toes - he is a little tank - short and stout without a doubt.
Pip is just one of the many underdogs that has entered the zoo and the plan was never for this to be his sanctuary foster - the plan was to get him healthy - vaccinated and neutered and adopted , but we learned that was never going to happen - just another example of how you just never know what is going to happen when you agree to pull a dog but once you commit - you do right by the dog regardless.
A true underdog but none the less - one that deserved every chance possible and that is exactly what we gave him

Inez came to the rescue on11/4/23 - she was found wondering a busy street and we were reached out to as the shelter would not pick her up and the finder could not keep her - we took her in and I will be flat out honest - the shape she was in - the owner was going to have a lot of explaining to do - well after a few days the owner came forward and did not realize she had gotten out as she usually just stays under her bed - needless to say after talking with the owner , Inez became a member of the rescue - a sanctuary foster with Courtney and her family.
She was a hot mess - way too thin - a heart murmur, a rock in her stomach , eyes were a mess but with lots of veterinary care and lots of love this girl beat all the odds stacked against her. There were always lots of vet visits, lots of medication refills, in the little over 2 years she was with the rescue , her care totaled a little over 10,000.00 and she was worth every single penny .
Nobody thought she would live that long , I mean if you ever met her she was tiny and she was frail but let me tell you something this girl was sassy and between the sass and the huge amount of love she had for her Foster Mom, Courtney and the rest of the family and her best friend Betty Lu, this girl beat a lot of odds but on 1/14/26 her little body said it was time and she died in her foster moms arms - her absolute favorite place to be
This was a hard loss - Courtney is still devastated as it was rare you saw Courtney without Inez around her neck in her carrier - the love and bond between these 2 was something I wish everyone could experience at least once in their lifetime .
It was a blessing and an honor to be part of Inez's final journey - estimated to be over 17 years old - she showed us all that age is indeed just a number and sometimes all you need is proper care and love
She will be missed beyond measure - Run with the butterflies sweet girl and keep a close eye on your Mom until you both meet again.
( I used this picture because it is one of my absolute favorites )

Our little hospice sanctuary girl, Suzy, is just beyond precious - after a pretty good scare a few months ago and a weekend trip to the vet - she is maintaining on a new dosage of heart meds and some arthritis medications. Such an absolute sweet girl and it is a blessing to be able to give her the best of the best in her golden years. A big thank you to Beth and Kenny for being her amazing sanctuary fosters. She goes back in March for her 6 month recheck on her heart to make sure we are still where we need to be

Pickles was over there tapping his foot because the lady had not posted the Amazon Wish List yet, so we for sure don't want him to get to worked up , so here is the updated Amazon Wish List - same items that are always on it - we always just try to ask for the basics
Amazon Gift cards are always welcome because basically every single day I have a foster contact me that they need something and also just this week alone we have spent $586.00 sending supplies to families , so gift cards are appreciated as well.
Now let me go let Pickles know the list is posted and he can take his position at the window waiting for deliveries as that is what he does when I tell him treats are on the way

As soon as we hit those steps to go outside , Montana stopped and that nose was working hard. He knew the deer were there before I did and I said oh no no - no broken bones for me tonight buddy 😂. I showed him his treat that was in my pocket and said potty time and he looked at me like hmm I know I want get that treat if I take the lady for a ride , so he did his business and we walked right back to the door to go in. That is progress and my bones are thanking this progress 😂

I will post our amazon list tomorrow - to be honest the weather was so nice , we enjoyed a lot more outside time today which was so needed.

Will also be posting some more of the treasures I found. If you cleaner something today and paid, it is packed up and will go out tomorrow
