Please Ask How To Become A Gaurdian Angel To One Of These Amazing Kids!

"Stephan and Elaina"

8/6/10 - A few weeks ago we transferred three blue puppies; Elaina, Damon, and Stephan. These pups were is awful shape when we recieved them, suffering from a condition known as demodex mange. On top of that they had severe skin infection and were coming down with kennel cough. These kids were swollen and sore, but despite that, all they wanted to do is cuddle and be loved. Damon was the smaller of the boys and was the least severe out of the three. With the spectacular work of his foster home, he finished his treatment and we are happy to report that he was just adopted! Unfortuntely Elaina and Stephen have a longer road to recovery, ahead of them. We are doing everything we can to get these two healed up and into a forever home, but we need help from our wonderful supporters to do so! Please help us, help them! 

8/13/10 -  Elaina has recieved the all clear and is ready for adoption! Stephan still has some recovering to do, but we hope that he too will soon be on his way to finding his forever home!

"Achilles" - "Justice For Achilles"

 

Achilles story is a sad one.

He was adopted from Rugaz Rescue Inc. in 03/2007 to a wonderful family who's mother was a RN. They adored Achilles, and we went to see him on a few occasions to help with training. 2 1/2 Years have gone by and Achilles was brought in as a stray to Hillsborough County Animal Services with an horribly embedded collar, Heartworm Positive and a horrible aggression towards dogs. We are currently doing an investigation on his previous owner to get answers on what happend to Achilles. After being questioned Tacara states Achilles ran away Nov' 07' while she "Tied him up while moving furnature to her new home". He was found in the 8000 block of Temple Place in Tampa, Fl. 33617... Which is within 6 miles of the address when she adopted him. Someone in that area has to know something about him. About where he was tied up at, who had him.

 

Update on Investigation: Tacara Drew stated she tied him up outside while she was moving and when they came back "He was just gone"... After contacting her current landlord where she moved to on that date the landlord stated "There is a no dog policy". So even if Achilles went missing on "moving" day she couldn't bring him with her anyways... So really... What did she do to Achilles that fateful day? Tacara Drew, your story does not add up....

 

There is a reward for any information leading to the proven where abouts of Achilles in the past two years...

 

*UPDATE 06/16/2010* - Tacara Drew "Achilles" previous adopter was enjoined to NEVER own animals again! "Justice For Achilles Prevails!"

Update 05/20/2010: Miss Moxy Roxy is fully recovered and ready to find her forever home!!

"Moxy Roxy"

 

Roxy's story is a sad one, much like all the ones were looking for Guadian Angel's for. Roxy had a family but unfortunetly one day it all fell apart. She lived with 5 Human children and 3 doggy siblings as well. The wife and 5 children had to go up north to stay with family members while the husband stayed behind to try to work out some issues. Unfortunetly she could not bring the dogs with her, and the children came first. Well the husband was sent to rehab and couldn't come home, so they arranged to have a neighbor feed the dogs until they could make solid plans for them. A family member came over to check on them and Roxy and her siblings looked all much like this, Roxy being the worst. She is a little head shy, and scared of almost everything. She is coming around and gives the best sweet kisses a little girl could ever give... With some TLC she will make a full recovery and find a forever loving home...

Well she found her way here to Rugaz Rescue Inc.

On the afternoon of the 10th Sooki was walking down the road in Sulfer Springs, FL as a stray, little did she know that the following events would changer her entire life...

Clopinel Pascal

"Hillsborough Animal Services officials say they don't believe Clopinel "James" Pascal's story that he attacked a pit bull with a machete because the dog attacked him and his dog first.
"It doesn't add up so far," said Marti Ryan, spokeswoman for Animal Services.
Pascal, 31, was arrested Friday afternoon on a charge of animal cruelty. Investigators say he struck the white female pit bull with a pipe and machete, partially cutting its ear off. He was released from jail early Saturday after posting $2,000 bail.
Pascal said he had attempted to rehabilitate the dog and socialize it with his own pit bull after it had been abused and abandoned by neighbors. He said when he was trying to tie up the abandoned dog in the backyard of his home in Sulphur Springs, it attacked him and then his dog, "Sasha," when Sasha tried to defend him.
Pascal said he picked up the machete to defend himself.
A witness, however, on Friday told investigators the pit bull was walking up the street when Pascal lured the dog into his yard, closed the gate, picked up a pipe and started beating the dog with it. He was "laughing the whole time,'' Pascal's arrest report stated.
Both dogs were taken into custody by Animal Services.
Ryan, of Animal Services, said today the injured pit bull is still in their care and is a sweet dog.
"She seems very forgiving to humans," she said.
Ryan thinks the dog was a stray but at one point had owners.
Pascal's pit bull didn't have a mark on her from the alleged fight and is "extremely animal aggressive," she said.
The injured dog doesn't have a microchip to identify her, Ryan said. She had several other cuts on her body and they are still doing tests on her to determine if she has heartworms or other ailments.
The dog could soon be up for adoption, Ryan said."
