The ranch brings in dogs from Navajo Nation with a range of problems, from a broken hip to cloudy vision. Of the 1,203 animals that Nuzzles_and_Co took in during 2022, 473 of them — 39% — were from reservations.
Vet technician Heidi Siddoway gives a puppy vaccinations and a sedative prior to neutering surgery at Nuzzles & Co. Rescue Ranch on Mar. 6, 2023. Nuzzles & Co. Pet Rescue and Adoption is a private, non-profit no-kill facility that seeks to give animals of all sizes a chance to thrive.Chromis, a black puppy with floppy ears and specks of white and tan in his coat, is a favorite among the staff at Nuzzles & Co., who affectionately call him “Charlie.
Later, when Charlie was taken in to be neutered, he died on the table — either from a bad reaction to the anesthesia or because he simply wasn’t strong enough, said Alyssa Hughes, the medical director of the ranch’s veterinary suite.Parvo, Hughes said, is an incredibly hardy virus — it doesn’t die in direct sunlight or cold temperatures, and is easily transmitted among puppies. “It attacks multiple systems in the dog, the inside of their intestines and immune system,” she said.
The ranch brings in dogs from Navajo Nation with a range of problems, from a broken hip to cloudy vision, McCurtain said. Of the 1,203 animals that Nuzzles & Co. took in during 2022, 473 of them — 39% — were from reservations. Veterinary technician Falon Siddoway says goodbye to siblings Badger and Racoon that were recently adopted.Hughes said her job as a shelter vet is made easier than it might be at other facilities because Nuzzles & Co. has the resources, and gives her the opportunity to make the best medical decisions to save animals and get them ready to be adopted. Last year, the organization arranged for 998 adoptions.
Animals like Scooby, a golden-haired dog who was hit by a car, the veterinary workers believe. Scooby had to have one leg amputated, and had surgery on another. Every day, staffers get him on a walk to get some exercise — so his good hip and remaining legs won’t seize.
