 Maya's Fund 


              We  need your help!   Sweet Maya severely broke her leg on 4/28.  After the initial
review of her x-rays, it was apparent she needed to immediately see an orthopedic surgeon. Maya's
hind left leg was broken in at least 3, possibly 4 places.  Yes, it would have been much cheaper to
 just amputate her leg, but that's not what Amazing Aussies is all about.   We will always do whatever
we can to provide the best quality of life possible for our fosters. 

We are happy to report the surgery was a great success and Maya will regain full use of her leg
in approximately 8 - 10 wks.  Maya came home today and is resting as comfortable as possible.

Here are the x-rays both pre and post surgery.  Click on the picture for an enlarged version.
She had a total of 14 screws along with the plate.  The small dashes are incision staples.

Maya gets to leave the hospital!

We would like to thank Dr. Ross Lirtzman, DVM ,Veterinary Surgical Specialists of Scottsdale for
literally putting Maya's leg back together again and ultimately giving her back the use of her leg.

Yes! I want to donate!

The cost of Maya's surgery along with a recent parvo case
has cost well over $6000.00
 Your support is vital and allows us to continue to rescue, provide quality care,
 and ultimately find forever homes for these amazing dogs.

**note** you do not need to have a PayPal account to donate via PayPal

We are in need of loving foster homes to care for the dogs/puppies we bring
in to our rescue while they are on their journey to adoption.

If you feel like you can open your heart and your home** to one of our rescues
 in need please email volunteers@amazingaussies.com

 We need people to make a difference in the lives of these wonderful animals
....... the rewards are endless!
 

**Foster homes need only supply lots of love, a caring home, food, treats, and toys. 
Amazing Aussies will provide for all other needs including veterinary care.**

Latest Arrivals!

 

Roxie and Zoey

(pics coming soon!)

Roxie and Zoey are approximately 6 wks old.  They are beautiful little girls.
Both are deaf.  Roxie seems to be a bit more vision impaired than her sister Zoey.
They are typical aussie puppies that love to play. 

Stevie

This beautiful girl is in urgent need of a foster home.  She was an owner dump at a local
shelter.  Stevie is deaf and blind, about 25 lbs, and looks to be a Cattle Dog/Aussie mix.
She's very dirty and scared to death...just goes stiff and hits the ground if you try to move her.
She can be picked up and carried, but remains stiff.  If you touch her head, she hits the  ground again.
The information left on her indicates she's good with kids.  We tried some friendly dogs with her and
she just stood still and let them sniff her.
 

**Stevie Updates* 
(4/14)
Stevie is now safe in a foster home.  Thank you to everyone who offered to help this special girl.
She visited our vet today, where she had an overall checkup as well as blood drawn.  In addition to the
 normal blood panel, we're also checking to make sure she does not have Valley Fever, Tick Fever, Heartworm, etc.
Stevie has primarily slept since her arrival, and is still not too interested in checking out her new surroundings...
although she does give great little kisses when you give her some loving.  We'll continue to provide periodic updates
on her progress.

(4/28)

Stevie is taking her time but adjusting well.  She is still terrified of being picked up (we're thinking some type of
previous abuse must have caused this extreme fear), but at least she will now politely solicit attention. Stevie is starting to
 play with her foster siblings and is using the doggie door with no problems.  Her confidence will continue to improve
with the patience and love being provided by her foster family!
 

Marlee

Marlee is a beautiful deaf and vision impaired 4 month old sweetheart.  She plays great with other dogs...
both large and small...as well as kitties.  Marlee is learning basic hand signal commands.  She is able to
navigate well around her surroundings and is a very confident girl.
