Contact - sylvasylva59@embarqmail.com Magellan, which is the first name we gave him, and he did not resond it so we changed it to Kubla, which responded to immediately. Kubla was pulled out of the Spalding Animal Shelter in Georgia approximatley 6 months ago. He came here full of ticks, nearly emaciated and with an eye injury, he also had one of the worst heartworm cases my vet had ever treated. His eye was removed, his heartworm status treated and he was neutered. We are now faced with a horrible challenge. One day he was fine and the next day he could barely walk. I took him immediately to the vet and was prescribed medication. In the next 24 hours he appeared to be deteriorating and was taken to the vet again, where he remains as of 11/17/09, this has occurred over the last 3 days. Kubla has lost the use of his rear legs. He is on IV and will receive acupunture today as the vet feels it is a neck disc challenge. If that does not work, he will need to go in for an MRI, which my vet feels strongly will be the case. He will have to be transferred to another facility for this and it will be determined whether he is a candidate for surgery. I know that MRI's are not inexpensive. Our dog fund has been exhausted Garth's bloat surgery completely wiped us out, that being in excess of $3700.00, 49% of his vetting bill was covered by your generous donations. We are faced with asking for assistance again, we have had many challenges in the last couple of months, Garth's bloat surgery, Tyson's amputation and jaw bone infection, Ruthi's infection of the lower jaw and teeth having to be extracted. Once again, I am asking for the community to pull together for his fantastic dog name Kubla. He has proved to be one of the best dogs that we have had the pleasure of having here. Kubla was the puppy sitter, he loves everything and everyone, I want him to be able to have a chance at finding his perfect family and not end up a paraplegic dog that stays here. However with that said, if he does end up a paraplegic we will either keep him here and purchase a wheel chair for him, and hopefully still be able to find that special home for him. He will never be without love, whether it is here or in his very own hom. Please help me make this possible for Kubla/Magellan. His appetite is fantastic, this tells me he wants to fight a good fight and we need your help for him to do this. You may donate under this chip-in or go through BARK where he is listed as Magellan. http://www.barkva.org/html/volunteer.htm Thank you for any consideration to Kubla/Magellan.

- Let 'em know you saw "Kubla/Magellan" on Adopt-a-Pet.com!
We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing dogs from various Los Angeles shelters the day they are to be euthanized. Our goal is to help provide animals with a second chance to a happy life and to help reduce pet overpopulation through spay and neuter programs. Once rescued, we place our dogs into loving foster homes while they await adoption. We do not keep dogs in kennels. Placing the dogs in foster homes is the first step to rehabilitation, as it allows us to thoroughly evaluate a dog's demeanor and needs enabling us to make the perfect match of dog and permanent owner. We attribute our high rate of successful placement to our foster program. At Ace of Hearts, we do not discriminate against any breed, including those in the bully breed family. Additionally, Ace of Hearts is dedicated to educating the public on how to be responsible pet owners and on the importance of spaying and neutering. We believe the real solution to pet overpopulation is through spaying and neutering pets.
