In the fall we were contacted about a mom and babies that no one wanted to commit to as mom had so many medical needs. Mae was not only an older dog but was also heartworm positive with an old fractured leg and multiple growths. Oh and 6 newborn babies! We simply could not say no to this family.
We are happy to report that all 6 of her babies survived and are now in loving homes. Mae received an extensive workup and it was determined that she not only had an old fracture in her front right leg, but also multiple bullet fragments. Mae has begun the first of 3 rounds for heartworm treatment. Once this is completed, we will have her spayed and have the multiple growths removed.
Without your continued support, we would not be able to help dogs like Mae. Her medical bills alone will be over $3000. Many ask why we take on these cases when these funds could be used to save multiple dogs. One look into Mae's soulful eyes and you would not have to ask. And we always refer to our special sign "Saving one dog will not change the world but surely for that one dog the world will change forever". For Mae, who probably had never known a loving home or kindness until she came to us, her world has changed forever.
