Proverbs 12:10 Animal Rescue is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization comprised of an all volunteer group of dedicated animal lovers who feel it is our privilege to care for God's "helpless" creatures. 
 
We are dedicated to finding "forever" homes for all of our pets. We take in even those "less desirables" that need medical treatment and/or special attention, as welll as those "found or surrendered" pets!  Many times these pets require hundreds or even a few thousand dollars in medical treatment before they can be adopted to a loving family.
 
Proverbs 12:10 Animal Rescue does not have a facility. Our organization chooses to keep our pets in Foster Care and show them on Adoption Day every Saturday the Bellevue, TN Petco.
 
Please see our Fostering Pets Page for information on our Foster Care Program.


                         
              
 

 

 
Pokey was caught early Friday (4/27) morning. He is safe at our vet where he has had his first surgery to remove the dead tissue. He will be at Cornerstone Animal Hospital for a couple of weeks and will then go to a specialist for reconstructive surgery. He is on pain meds, eating well, and seems peaceful
Please go to the Proverbs 12:10 Animal Rescue facebook page http://www.facebook.com/proverbs1210  to see a slide show of his being caught and taken to the vet and even his surgery.  (The photos are not posted here as they are quite graphic.)
We appreciate the outpouring of concern and ask your prayers for Pokey.  Donations can be made directly to Cornerstone Animal Hospital (615-446-9071) or to paypal(see link below left).  All donations are tax deductible. God Bless.

MEET FINN & SNIP

Finn & Snip are precious 4 month old puppies that were born in foster care.  As a tiny pups, they just appeared to be weak in the back legs,  but when only a few weeks old they lost the use of their back legs altogether.  Not knowing what the problem was, they underwent x-rays and blood work to determine the cause with no success.  It was decided this was a congenital defect but as they were not in pain and such happy, affectionate boys we began PT and walking with a sling to help in their rehab.  They are continuing to progress every day - Finn gets himself to his feet regularly and can "walk" more and more each day.  Snip's recovery is a little slower, however he can also get to his feet and "walk" a few feet at a time.  They are currently undergoing water treadmill therapy thanks to Rod Newman of Canine Rehabilitation of Nashville.

 While walking normally is not likely in their future, these precious siblings have no sadness or embarrassment about their limitations. They enjoy the sunshine, a loving touch, a good meal, the companionship of other animals and people, and playing. Someone recently asked why we didn't put them to sleep. I was astounded -- My response was, "Should I lose the use of my legs tomorrow, I would not want to die".

 The following pictures are from Finn’s evaluation and using the water treadmill.

We are looking for a special home or special foster home for these boys. We want them to continue to be worked with so that they reach their full potential and are willing to assist in raising funds for wheels or continued therapy as needed. Our main goal right now is to find a foster home (hopefully on one level) where someone has the time to help them reach their potential.  If you are interested in providing a home for one (or both) of these special boys, please contact us at info@proverbs1210rescue.org.  Any donations toward wheels or continued therapy would be greatly appreciated as well.  Donations may be made through PayPal or sent to Proverbs 12:10 Animal Rescue, PO Box 210830, Nashville, TN  37221

 

 


Proverbs 12:10 helped Cheatham County Animal Control by rescuing about 28 dogs from the many who were surrendered by a family in November 2009.  Elbert is shown (below left) with Proverbs Director, Lavonne, at the time he was rescued.  He was obviously extremely thin, was covered with bed sores as well as being heartworm positive.  Lavonne provided him with one-on-one attention, home cooked food throughout his heartworm treatment and he is now available for adoption.
