In Memory of Flash Flash was always super smart and sweet, athletic and anxious. He was never lucky enough to be adopted but we cared for him until his time came because Misha May always believes that with enough time the right person will come along. We are all devastated by his premature death. Although the exact cause of the kidney failure wasn't determined, it was discovered through x-rays and 3 days of emergency treatments that his kidneys were half the size they should have been. Many conditions were tested for and ruled out. Dr. Shelly Brown at Harmony and Dr. Liz O'Rourke of Animal Urgent Care, both in Arvada, gave him the royal treatment. Even with their generous discounts as well as the discounted services of a surgical specialist, our bill is $3500. Once again we call upon you, our wonderful supporters, to help us. Please donate what you can toward his bill. I find it hard to ask yet again for donations following your generosity for Buddy and Reina. But as you know, we give each animal the chance they deserve and we hoped that because he seemed healthy and was so young, that he would pull through. You can use paypal below in any amount or mail a check to Misha May, PO Box 151166, Lakewood, CO 80215-1166. |
The Story of 4-month old Justice as seen on Channel 9 News![]() ![]() Justice: after three months he's almost kissing me ! Steady Progress Justice has great fun in the kitchen now, acknowledging that it is his safe place. I still believe he is young as he loves tearing apart the boxes and towel rolls I donate to play time. He squeaks all of the toys wholeheartedly too. One day I can home to find the 24 cans from a case of cat food spread around the kitchen as if he had been playing hockey. The box was destroyed. How silly of me to set them on the floor in HIS room. Four month old Baby Justice arrived in Denver Feb 1 on transport from Gallup, New Mexico to Misha May Foundation Dog Training and Rescue. This photo is from when he was with his New Mexico Angels receiving treatment for his horrible neck wound, and love for his broken spirit.Justice is the sole survivor of his family group which included mom and 5 siblings. He was dehydrated, starving and injured when he was finally caught. He had been abused by humans and attacked by dogs. We appreciate any donations you can offer to help us with his medical care and training to become the happy, secure dog we know he will become! You can use paypal below in any amount or mail a check to Misha May, PO Box 151166, Lakewood, CO 80215-1166. |

Our Commitment
- We believe that each individual dog, regardless of breed or mix, age or issue, or amount of time needed, deserves the opportunity to find a forever home. We rehabilitate medical and behavior problems, and facilitate healing. We are committed to the forever placement of each animal for whom we assume responsibility.
- We are committed to a compassionate society where euthanasia, or a ‘good death‘, is reserved for those animals who are suffering without hope, as well as for those animals whose dangerous behavior is truly beyond rehabilitation.
- We are committed to using healing, compassionate methods, not force, with the animals we rescue as well as any animals we help.
- We are committed to educating ourselves and others in canine behavioral science, relying upon teaching and communicating with dogs, rather than on frightening, dominating or intimidating them.
- We are committed to each individual dog, and we celebrate the mutually beneficial bond that they share with humans.
