UPDATE:
Gypsy had a check up today and is doing great. She will have her 8 week check up and then she will be ready to find a new home! UPDATE: Gypsie has had her surgery and is back at her temp home and doing well. She had to have both legs taken care of but Dr. Reimers expects a full recovery! UPDATE on Gypsie: Some of the Second Chance followers donated money toward Gypsie's leg surgery and we have her scheduled. She goes in August 21st at 11:00. We are so excited for this little girl to get her leg(s) fixed so she can move for |
DAZZLEDazzle came to us with a heart murmur. We had it checked out and found that it was a PDA which means two of the chambers of the heart are connected and should not be. Eventually it would kill Dazzle. So, we have Dazzle at IVRC and her surgery is scheduled for tomorrow, Sept 13, 2017.
Dazzle has been adopted but we are still responsible for her heart condition as it existed prior to the adoption. Part of the adoption agreement was that we would take care of the charges. Dazzle's surgery will cost approximately $2800.00. Please put Dazzle and her new family, the Carters, in your prayers. Thank you! 
Angie is having urinary incontinence issues. Dr. Lindsay has run tests and it is not her kidneys. We are trying medications to get it under control but no luck thus far. It could be a hormonal problem so there are several options of medications to try. Please keep her in your thoughts. She is such a gentle, sweet girl!

DOG IN NEED - LIBBY Libby came to us with a history of abuse. An owner in her past had not been kind and Libby suffered as a result. Libby is heart worm positive and also has an ACL tear. Libby chose to let her past go. She focused on staying loving instead of becoming aggressive in spite of the humans who had abused her. The lady who helped Libby tried to get a rescue to help her with Libby. She was told repeatedly to just put the dog down and that it wasn't worth doing the heartworm treatment and ACL surgery. We believe that Libby deserves to live. We believe that the strength she showed in overcoming the past is the same strength that will get her through her heart worm treatment and the leg surgery and on to a home that will give her all the love she deserves. The cost of Libby's surgery will be around $2500.00.
Petey has some type of growth under his chin. It was pretty good sized. Dr Lindsay lanced it and thought it might just be disintegrated fat. However, the growth filled up again. Dr Lindsay called IVRC to discuss and they feel it might have something to do with a gland. So we are scheduling Petey to be seen over at IVRC.
