Anyone want him.. he doesn't have very long.

mistysangel0 · 08-17-2009, 07:39 AM

Please if you can HELP HIM!! He is not my horse but I belong to a rescue organization and I receive emails of animals needing help.. If he does not find someone that can help him he WILL be put to sleep, and he does not have much time before he gets put to sleep.

We have an 8 year old registered Saddlebred stallion in need of help, or he will be put down by county authorities early next week (8/17/09).

His registered name is All a Dream, he was injured (we don't know how) and then supposedly put into an auction where the gentleman that has him now bought him. I guess he was going to rehab him until he realized what expense and time it was going to take. Other than this injury he is healthy but, does need some weight, he's probably at a body condition 3 to high 3 from what I can see in the pictures.

He is friendly, can easily be handled, a good boy.

His right lower hind has a serious injury, tons of proud flesh that will need cut off and then will take several months of antibiotics, wrapping and cleaning. I suspect it will take 6 months to a year to get completely better.

Our estimates from our vet was at least $800. to $1200. for all the vet work, plus costs of wraps, antibiotics, etc. That estimate was from Audoban Animal Hospital , I'm sure vets in larger cities and in other states will probably have higher, so it might be best if the vet work to be done by them since they are close to the horse. I do think he can travel but I would think it probably needs to be regionally (WV, OH, VA, PA, KY, NC, MD).

Unfortunately, SWAP does not have the funds or the personnel to take this on right now, we would need another part time person to accept him, we have our hands full taking care of all the horses we have here or scheduled to come in, plus we are turning away horses on a daily basis, we just can't accept the numbers of horses that need us. We have only 2 full time people and all our volunteers are going back to school so their time with us will be limited. This horse really needs someone who has the experience to clean, do hydro therapy and wrap daily for an extended period, possibly 6 to 12 months. If we had 3 to 7 volunteers committed to come in weekly until he was better then we would be taking him.

We will offer to pick up the horse and get him to the vet, pick him up and keep him at our place until someone can get him picked up. Someone will have to pay the vet bill and plan to get him picked up within a couple of weeks of the completion of his vet work. If someone feels that they don't want to take this on long term but will foster him and take care of him, do all his daily work, then we'll take him into our program and place him when he's better.

*If anyone can think of any other options that might work, please contact us at: secondwindadopt@aol.com (at aol.com).

*If you feel you can pay the vet bill, and want the horse please contact Tom Fleming, our Neglect/Abuse Case Worker at: 304-672-1948 or at: tomfleming64@cebridge.net (at cebridge.net).

At this point, we are just looking for someone who can save him, remember time is limited, the county will be putting him down soon.

I know this looks bad but, I do believe it can look almost normal with just some vet work. There is nothing that is life threatening at this time but the authorities will not help him and will not leave him like this with no care from his current owner.

Please help if you can.

Aww poor guy.

Keep in mind he's underweight so his demeanor very much could change when he puts on weight. What appears to be a cool, calm, collected stallion may be a rowdy, disrespectful stallion 50 lbs from now.

Yes he could be, but even if he is I believe 95% of all animal error is because of human error.. Most times they aren't born that way they are made that way.. I believe they all deserve a second chance.. If I had the money I would take him, but he would be a gelding pretty quick lol.

LOL! Definitely not saying he doesn't deserve a chance -- just that the last thing he needs is to end up in ANOTHER home that can't or won't handle him and end up on the auction floor once again.

no no no I wasn't saying you were lol I was just saying that even if he was like that it probably wouldn't be his fault and it can be fixable it just takes a while.. no I wans't trying to say you were saying he didn't deserve a chance, sorry if it came off that way.. really really wasn't what i was trying to say.. I'm terrible with words lol can you tell?
