Rescue #1 for the past week is Athena, who is a very sweet and beautiful female German Shepard. I found her in the shelter veterinary hospital with an injury to her back leg and her owners never came looking for her. I knew her injury would likely require surgery but she was going to be euthanized so I agreed to take her. Yesterday I took her in for x rays and indeed her hip is dislocated and she needs an FHO done which cuts off the "ball" of her femur which fits into the pelvis. Because she is such a big girl ( 80 pounds) makes her recovery much more difficult because of her weight. The cost for this surgery is going to be around $1500 and so far I have received about $500 toward her surgery. Time is of the essence for getting her surgery done before to much time goes in order for it to be successful.
Rescue #2 for this week is Rosie, a sweet young little female pitbull with a severe case of mange. Her skin is so bad she has a secondary skin infection and also has kennel cough so she is currently receiving 2 antibiotics, medication to kill the mange mites and a special medicated shampoo, and she also will need to be spayed once recovered.
Rescue #3 for the week that I should be getting on Monday is another injured dog ( a poodle) , that is in the shelter hospital with a back leg injury and hopefully doesn't also need surgery... I will update on this one as I know more.
Please help me continue to be able these poor forgotten dogs that I dedicate my time and life to! Thank you...
