Animals

CHARLESTON, SC.....Every week I rescue abused dogs.  I have been doing this for over twenty years.  I am rarely shocked but saddened by all the abuse and neglect inflicted on these innocent Souls.  We see the injuries and make a plan to fix them.  Next comes the emotional wounds that take much longer to heal.   Some dogs never fully recover from the emotional abuse they have endured.

GREENVILLE, SC.....Hurricanes and Kennel Cough are a combination, I would not wish on anyone.   Sadly, that is precisely what we had to deal with.  We were preparing for the Hurricane when I noticed the final notice from Greenville County for a sweet dog they had been posting for the past two weeks.  Chocco was a two-year-old pup picked up as a stray.  Her medical records said bilateral hip dysplasia and a cruciate ligament tear on the right stifle.

Demi did well with her surgeries without any complications. She was stable during her anesthesia and came out of it quickly.  I feel so bad for this precious little Angel.  No dog should have to endure this kind of hardship.  Demi is so used to being in pain that she never whimpers or complains.  She takes it all in stride, which makes everyone sad.  This precious girl has not complained once since we have had her.

GREENVILLE, SC....So many of the pups we rescue are wonderful dogs that need to be given a chance to heal and find the perfect home.   Ella was one of those amazing dogs that were abandoned without giving her a second thought.   Spartanburg, SC, picked up Ella as a stray and brought her to Greenville County Animal Care Services, where she was evaluated. They were calling her Estall, and we changed her name to Ella.

GREENVILLE, SC....For everyone that fell in love with Minnie, our Mini-Aussie, we have another adorable pup that could be her sister.  Greenville County Animal Care Services reached out for help with a scared stray pup hit by a car they called Ferry.   At first, I thought it was a picture of Minnie.  I soon realized it was a different dog in need.

VIDALIA, GA....Peter is an adorable 4-month-old Chihuahua Mix picked up on the side of the road. Peter could not walk because of breaks in the front and rear legs.   Animal Control and a local Rescue were contacted to see if anyone could help this poor, broken Angel.  Animal Control contacted Peter's owners, and they refused to take responsibility for his medical needs.  

BEAUFORT, SC....Elsa is a 2-year-old Yorkie Mix that was brought to Beaufort County Animal Care Services to be put to sleep.  Elsa had suddenly developed rear limb paralysis.  I asked many questions to determine if the dog had been hurt by accident but did not get much information.  The Owners did not want to pursue medical care and wanted her put to sleep.  I had them sign Elsa over to BCACS so we could help this special pup.  We also asked the owners for her shot records, and they did not have any.  The top left photo is how Elsa looked when she arrived.  She was matted and was a mess.

PEACHTREE CITY, GA......Adorable Minnie is a two-year-old Minnie Aussie that was hit by a car after a family member left the dog outside on a busy street. The person when back inside, and when he came out again, he noticed Minnie was limping. He later noticed she had blood on her body and took her to the vet. The Family could not afford the medical bills for her surgery, and the only option they had to save her was to sign her over to a reputable group.
