Looking for an English Bull Dog in Pa. to rescue or adopt.

To whom it may concern,

My name is SSG Kimberly Ison and I am currently at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio Texas. I was Medevaced from a combat zone after 15 months due to acute and severe PTSD, depression, a crushed right wrist, and a TBI. (Traumatic Brain Injury).
Prior to my last deployment my entire life was devoted to my four dogs. They were my reason for living as I have no family. Two of them had to be put to sleep due to cancer while I was deployed. To say my heart was broken is an understatement.
Upon arriving at BAMC I had two mini strokes and a seizure. They have yet to determine why, or if it will happen again. During my stay here God richly blessed me with an angel herself named Patsy Swendson. She founded Penny’s from Heaven which is an organization devoted to bringing PTSD therapy dogs to the Soldier’s here at BAMC. Patsy and she and her therapy dogs have enabled many a wounded warrior to just get through another day. A hug from her, and one of the dogs by your side is better therapy than ANY pill that could ever be prescribed. No matter how bad my depression, anxiety, PTSD, or head injury effect me, just simply having one of the pups near allows me to get through the moment. The impact their presence has had, and continue to have on my life are beyond words.
I am writing to ask your assistance. I have been approved for a service dog and am allowed to have him here with me until my medical discharge. However I am having quite a hard time finding an organization to assist me with this. My needs are not extensive by any means. I am currently unable to leave my room as a simple trip to wal-mart can easily turn into a nightmare. I also have severe PTSD and sleepwalk bad enough that my bed has had to be alarmed. Unfortunately this doesn’t always work and I wake up in the closet, on the side walk, etc. All I really need is a furry angel to be there with me and look out for me while I sleep. The simple touch of a dog can easily bring me back from the depths of hell.
As I said I have been approved for a service dog while I am here and can provide many recommendations from those who know me and the quality of care that I would continue to provide for a service dog for the entirety of his life.

Any help you could give me would be much appreciated.

I love how PETA is upset with the President for KILLING A FLY…yeah, that makes sense. I guess they’re just upset that they couldn’t kill the fly, along with the 2,216 dogs they killed last year…

Please join us at Lincoln Financial Field on September 20 at 11:30 to peacefully protest Michel Vick joining the Eagles. Please help Philadelphia get national attention for a good reason for a change! Thank you

Thanks for your fantastic articles you gave me at the Baltimore Writers Conference. I shall pass them on and promote ohmidog.
A suggestion for this blog: Folks need medical info specific to breeds….for instance, bassett hounds get cysts between their toes and low dose prednisone gets rid of them. This info could have saved my son and daughter-in-law big bucks and wrong treatment.

I AM WRITING THIS NOTE TO SEE IF THERE IS ANYONE WILLING TO HELP MY PARTNER K-9 DIESEL. DIESEL IS A 1MOS OLD BLACK LAB THAT IS TRAINED IN NARCOTIC DETECTION TRACKING AND ARTICLE RECOVERY. DUE TO BUDGET CUTS AND MORE BUDGET CUTS OUR DEPT HAS HAD TO TAKE THE SUV WE USED FOR A K-9 VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD AND CANNOT REPLACE IT DUE TO LACK OF FUNDS. WE ARE TRYING TO PURCHASE A USED CRUISER AND KENNEL WITH DONATIONS MADE TO THE OAKHAM POLICE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION. K-9 DIESEL CANNOT PATROL BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE A VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT HIM SAFELY. I AM HOPING THAT SOMEONE CAN HELP US GET DIESEL BACK TO WORK. THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!

Let me just start by saying I love what you do. If I had the resources here, I would rescue pits too. We need it in san jose. I have a gorgeous blue nose named Capone. He’s my baby. He thinks he’s one of my kids. I treat him no different. Recently I became homeless. I have him to a friend to foster. I know he would never of had a chance at the humane society. I call on a regular basis. She won’t return my calls. I want my dog back. How can I get him back? I went by her house and I could hear him cry for me, but no one was there. Can you help me. I’m lost without my DADA.
