Help Darby Heal: Support Her Urgent Surgery

Hello friends and animal lovers,

I'd like to introduce Darby, a resilient and loving little dog who has endured more hardship in her life than any creature should. Darby’s story is one of optimism and strength.

Darby's Early Life: A Tail Of Resilience

Darby’s life began in the most unfortunate circumstances. Her first owner was an addict who kept her in a squalid puppy mill. Despite this bleak beginning, Darby’s spirit never wavered. She found moments of kindness and care, and one night, while under the temporary care of a compassionate individual, she was taken to the vet and spayed. This act was a first step to improving her quality of life, but her challenges were far from over.

A Near-Fatal Accident and a Critical Surgery

At a young age, Darby was hit by a truck, resulting in a severe hip injury which would require an urgent hip replacement surgery. It was during this time that her owner learned she was infertile. While under veterinary care, a severe dental infection was discovered. Her teeth had become septic, posing a grave threat to her life.

Despite her difficult home life, a group of caring people rallied together, pooling resources to cover her mounting vet bills. Fundraising efforts were initiated to repay the loans taken out for Darby’s care, but the funds were stolen.

A Turning Point and a New Beginning

As Darby was fighting for her life in the hospital, her home situation deteriorated further. The RCMP intervened, seizing Darby and pressing criminal charges against her owner. The kind person who had her spayed petitioned the court for custody and won. Under the care of her new family, she was able to make a full recovery and enjoy a life of cuddles and playful adventures.

Darby’s Bright Future: A Loving Home and New Friends

In her new home, Darby has flourished. She has developed a full social life, filled with both human and animal friends. While her exact age is uncertain, her youthful energy and zest for life are apparent. She loves to play catch and have play dates at the dog parks. She loves to run in the sand on the beach and forage for the perfect sticks, which are always to big to carry so she drags them to the perfect spot to build a little collection.
