Be Cookie’s Valentine

WILL YOU BE SUGAR COOKIE’S VALENTINE? This year, for Santa Barbara Vizsla Lovers Rescue’s ZIGGY MEMORIAL VALENTINE FUNDRAISER, we are honoring our disabled puppy COOKIE who is valiantly fighting the effects of Discospondylitis from a mysterious infection contracted at five weeks.

Cookie is one of the seven puppies born to a Vizsla pair we rescued last summer. SBVLR has provided Cookie with the best care with diagnostic scans, a veterinary neurologist directing us on medication and upcoming specialized physical therapy. The wonderful news is that Cookie is thriving and improving every day! We never gave up and our TOUGH COOKIE has amazed the neurologist with her progress; COOKIE MONSTER’S joyful and feisty personality thrills us all. Daily, SMART COOKIE is figuring out how to climb stairs, ford steams, win a toy tussle. She is still on a medication protocol of three antibiotics, an anti-inflammatory, and as-needed pain relief which has helped her turn the corner from not walking at all and having to ride in a wagon, to now playing, running, even hiking!

In March, she has an evaluation with Atlas, a respected physical therapy practice. Your kind donations, COOKIE DOUGH, for ongoing medical and care needs have saved her life and will now fund her recovery to live a full and loved life just like her littermates. SBVLR is a 501C3 non-profit, so all donations are tax deductible; excess funds go to the Ziggy Memorial Medical Fund to help other Vizsla’s in need. EVERYONE LOVES A CINNAMON COOKIE FILLED WITH LOVE AND KISSES FOR VALENTINE’S DAY!
