Critical Care Corner: Brady
Brady was Neglected and on the Brink of Death
Just a few months ago, Brady was on the brink of death. Animals Benefit Club shared a startling image of the 2-year-old canine when he was first rescued.
“He was just bones, there was no flesh, there was really nothing to him. He was just skin and bones,” said Andra Jeffress of ABC. “This is a case where neglect turned into abuse,” said Jeffress.
Brady spent three weeks in the hospital. It turned out he was suffering from an upper respiratory infection known as valley fever. He was also under fed and severely underweight. Today, Brady is well on his way to making a full recovery and he is looking for a forever home.
Thanks to Fox 10 Phoenix for covering Brady’s story.

Critical Care Corner: Lucas
Lucas Neglected by Former Owners
Lucas was horribly neglected by his former owners and when he became ill, rather than provide the medical treatment he desperately needed, they abandoned him and he wound up on the e-list. The first photo shows Lucas in agonizing pain, utterly dejected, on the day he was scheduled to be euthanized.
Fortunately, an ABC volunteer heard of Lucas’s predicament and immediately transferred him to University Animal Hospital to see if doctors could save his life. Lucas was quickly diagnosed with Lupus and began immediate treatment. After just five weeks, Lucas has almost fully recovered and is all smiles!

Abandoned Puppies Rescued
Abandoned Puppies Found in Phoenix Apartment
By Chencho Flores
Let’s face it, puppies are just plain cute.
That’s why Andra Jeffress, who runs the ABC Adoption Shelter in north Phoenix, was heartbroken to hear about abandoned puppies found locked in an apartment for days without food or water.
“When I saw the email, I jumped on it,” Andra said. “The condition of these dogs was just terrible.” The email was from another rescue group who had heard the puppies were living in horrible conditions.
“The renters had moved out and not notified anyone. Unfortunately it happens all too frequently. We get emails and calls about this constantly,” says Andra.
The five puppies were emaciated, starving to death and possibly dealing with disease or parasites…
Lola Rescue
Reward Offered for Safe Return of Newborn Pups
A litter of newborn puppies was snatched from a field before they could be rescued and now there’s a reward being offered for their safe return to their mother.
Lola is a beautiful girl. This former street dog has a home at the Animals Benefit Club shelter in Phoenix, but her five 3-day old puppies are missing.
“It’s a very unusual situation..we can’t figure out why…” said ABC’s Andra Jeffress.
The person who discovered the puppies in a field near 43rd Avenue and Glendale took a picture of them, called for help and left the scene…
Sophia and Her Puppies Rescued
Mama Dog Leads Rescuers to Litter of Puppies
Heat is hard on animals, especially dogs with fur coats. A mother dog in Mesa knew better than to leave her pups in the heat — she sought out some two-legged rescuers!
They look like six little balls of fur. Just 10 days old, these puppies were rescued when they were only six hours old. After giving birth, the mama dog went looking for help for her puppies and found it.
While her puppies were sleeping nearby, the canine sat in the middle of a busy street. A lot of people drove right past her, but Jim and Laura Wilkes stopped and they are glad they did.
“She so cute, how can you not help her, its 108 degrees!” exclaims Laura.
But the mother dog would not go with them. They had to follow her…
Selene Rescue
Selene and Her Puppies Rescued from Canal
A dog and her two newborn puppies are getting help, after surviving for months on their own.
Animals Benefit Club have now stepped in to help the family of dogs, but for the past few months, they lived in a trash-filled canal.
Mom and her puppies survived on scraps of food.
“They’re in fairly good shape, because people have been feeding them for the past couple months,” says Andra Jeffress from ABC.
People who noticed the dogs but couldn’t get near them knew they needed help. That’s when they called Animals Benefit Club.
At first its volunteers had little luck with the dogs. “They would go and hide because they were very leery of strangers,” says Jeffress…
