BEAUFORT, SC....2 y/o German Shepherd Hit by Car with massive break. Please, Help Us, Help Her by DONATING.

BEAUFORT, SC..... No matter how much Beaufort County Animal Care Services does to help the people and their animals in Beaufort County, the Owners rarely take their advice and often do exactly as they please with their animals, only to regret it when something bad happens. Then they are back begging for help again.

Poor Dee Dee is a young, beautiful Black & Tan German Shepherd, two years old. She has already been used to produce a litter of puppies. BCACS was initially contacted by an older man who wanted to surrender two of Dee Dee's puppies. BCACS said they would not take the puppies unless Mom and Dad were spayed and neutered. The man finally agreed to allow that to happen. The surrendered puppies were placed immediately in wonderful homes.

The dogs were initially tethered outside and later released to run free. Unfortunately, dogs that are allowed to run free run out into the road, chasing things and getting hit by automobiles, which is precisely what happened to Dee Dee three weeks after she was spayed. The owner called BCACS again, stating that he did not have any money for surgery and that they could take Dee Dee.

I know I'm a broken record when I say this, but people should not get animals that they are not prepared to keep safe and care for in the event of an accident. BCACS had two options: put Dee Dee down since surgery was beyond what they could do or call me and BEG for help. I say beg because I had already taken several of their dogs that I had not even had time to post for.

The next time someone offers a free MRI, I am going to submit my brain to see why I keep taking these pups when we are clearly beyond full. I agreed and had Dee Dee taken to CVRC in Charleston, SC, for surgery to put a plate in and hopefully save her leg. Our sweet girl was in the hospital for a while recovering from her surgery, and then we brought her to our Rehab Facility to heal.

Unfortunately, Dee Dee developed a nasty infection right after surgery that compromised everything we had just done. We now had to treat her for Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Pseudomonas infections in dogs after orthopedic surgery can be a serious complication, potentially leading to delayed healing, implant failure, and even amputation in severe cases.

Infections like this are characterized by symptoms such as swelling, redness, pain, and discharge from the surgical site. Treatment typically involves systemic antibiotics, local antiseptic therapy, and, in some cases, implant removal. We had just paid a fortune to put the implant in and did not want to have to remove it so soon. Treating the infection and lots of prayers was our best best. We also had to keep Dee Dee in quarantine since this bacteria was opportunistic, and any dog with skin issues or open wounds could get it.

I waited a while to write this post because I wasn't sure of the outcome. We have just done another x-ray of Dee Dee's leg, and it is healing nicely; there are no longer any signs of infection after being on antibiotics for almost a month. Dee Dee is not completely healed but is out of quarantine and no longer requires the strenuous measures we had to take to save her leg and her Life.

Our precious pup is a small Black and Tan German Shepherd that is as sweet as can be. Once she heals, she will make an amazing Family Pet. She is gentle in all the best ways of a German Shepherd. We love this special girl and are so glad we stepped up to save her.

We now have to raise the funds to pay her massive bills. We are significantly behind in raising funds for all our animals because we are too busy attending to their medical and emotional needs. I remember when I would post for an animal a week. That was before we had the Rehab Facility and Fetch Mkt. There is not enough time in the day to do everything that needs to be done. Our top priority, and always will be, is the quality of Life for the animals in our care. That comes first, and then when I get a free hour, I do a post and BEG for Funds.

Please Donate toward Dee Dee's medical expenses and rehab. We have many more animals to post, but for now, we are focusing on Dee Dee to pay her bills and find her a fantastic home.

Thanks for helping us with our pups and being part of the Noah's Arks Rescue Village.

MAYA is back in surgery for a massive Soft Tissue Sarcoma. Please, Help Us, Help Her by DONATING.

https://www.noahs-arks.net/animal/view/maya-cane-corso/1227

When it rains, it pours. The last four weeks have been a nightmare. I ended up with Type B Flu, which went on forever, and I am still recovering from the worst cough imaginable. During all of this, six of our dogs had to go to the ER, and three required major surgery. Today, I am posting for dear Maya.

Our big, goofy Mastiff cannot seem to get a break. Whenever we think the worst is over, something else happens, and her recovery starts again. Maya suddenly came up lame in her rear leg. Maya is a hundred-pound Mastiff that needs every leg to work. When one leg is out of commission, the other three take on the extra weight, which causes another set of problems. Suddenly, a large lump appeared on Maya's right hip above where she had already had surgery.

Maya was immediately taken to the hospital, where x-rays and an aspirate were done. The x-ray showed a sizable mass that needed to be removed. We scheduled the surgery, which turned out to be highly complicated. A grade II Soft Tissue Sarcoma was wrapped around her sciatic nerve and attached to her right greater trochanter of her femur. The surgeon said it was the most complicated surgery she had ever done.

When she described the procedure, she also explained that she did the best she could not to damage the sciatic nerve but was not sure if that was possible, given how extensive the damage was. Maya was bandaged up and remained in the ICU while she was recovering. Once the swelling began to go down, we brought her to our Rehab Facility.

Unfortunately, we could not stop the excessive bleeding that had started from her massive weight, and she had to be taken back to the hospital. The fluid buildup from the procedure was immense, and sadly, bacteria began to grow, which needed to be treated. Fluid was drained, and the hip and leg were bandaged again to prevent fluid buildup. We are now at a place where we are seeing improvement in this beautiful three-year-old Mastiff that we love and adore.

Maya has been on a journey of resilience since she was hit by a massive truck two years ago. Her life with us has been a testament to unconditional love and rehabilitation. That's all Maya knows. No matter what challenges arise, we spring into action, knowing that this could be the last time we see her. Yet, Maya's spirit remains unbroken, inspiring us all.

Dogs as large as Maya do not do well with hip or leg issues. Their massive body weight causes more damage to the other limbs, and each one begins to fail. We have been very creative and dedicated with Maya and have made her various carts to compensate for her disability at the time. When Maya is doing well, she is up and moving around and goes on her walks. She plays with the Littles and loves being their big Sister.

Maya is family, and we'll never give up on her. As long as she's willing to put in the hard work of getting up, walking, and loving life, we'll continue to face any challenge that comes our way with this precious girl. Her quality of life is what matters most to us. Maya is a happy girl who loves life and never complains. She perseveres when no other dog, half her size, would. She's our hero dog, and we're committed to ensuring she lives her life to the fullest.

Please help us do whatever we can for this amazing dog by DONATING.

TITUS has crossed over The Rainbow Bridge.

https://www.noahs-arks.net/animal/view/titus/1226

There is never a good time to let you know one of our precious pups has crossed over The Rainbow Bridge. We rescued Titus on March 12, 2012. He was a chihuahua/pug mix that was around two years old. He was picked up as a stray in Chesterfield, SC. Half of his rear leg was missing and infected with the bone protruding, and the other rear leg was severely damaged from dragging it.

Titus, a dog of remarkable resilience, was scheduled to be euthanized when I stepped up and said I would take him. We assumed his leg was caught in a trap since he did not appear to have other injuries. What we later discovered was Titus also had a spinal injury and needed surgery. He was a young pup when we got him. I wanted to give him the best chance of living as normal a life as possible, given his limitations. We did everything imaginable to provide him with that Life.

Titus's spinal cord had been injured, and even after surgery, we would have to express his bladder for the rest of his Life. Given his limitations, he was a special needs pup that needed a special home. He was with a family briefly until caring for him became too much. When we got Titus back, he was overweight and was a diabetic.

Titus's health and quality of Life were our top priority. We managed his diabetes, got his weight off, and got into a rhythm of expressing his bladder. Titus never knew he was sick or had a disability. Every day, he greeted us with a smile that lasted all day. He played with all of the dogs and learned to hop around the yard without his cart. Titus was our big personality, little dog Mascot, who showered us with love.

Everyone loved him. Titus was the dog we would always take out to schools or communities when they wanted to see what we do at Noah's Arks Rescue. He was the perfect example of never giving up on animals when the World has discarded them as broken and worthless. His Life was a testament to the impact one small, determined creature can have on the World.

Expressing a dog's bladder for so long has its complications. We were meticulous about it and tested his urine the second we thought he might have a bladder infection, which happened several times a year. Over the last six months, Titus had been developing clots in his bladder that needed to be flushed out. He was going to the hospital at least once a month for this procedure. He took it like a Champ and always returned to his usual cheerful self.

On one of the visits, he did not want to eat and appeared to be in a lot of pain. X-rays showed a lesion at T-11 and fluid in his abdomen. His abdominal effusion was consistent with malignant carcinoma with a metastatic lesion in his spine. His abdomen was bathed in cancer cells. Once we got Titus's pain under control, he left the hospital and returned to us his usual chipper self.

We were very guarded and sad at the thought of losing Titus. Well, Titus was not going to participate in our sadness. He went about his days, chipper as ever, cheering us on and ensuring every pup in our care got their daily smooches. Every ER visit over the last six months was filled with dread for us. Was today the day we had to say goodbye? Titus rallied every time, and off we returned to the Rehab Center, delighted we got one more day.

We loved every second the Universe Gifted us with this precious bundle of Joy. The day finally came when Titus could no longer rally, and I knew it was time. He couldn't come back to the Rehab Center to say goodbye, so I came to him in the hospital. I knew the minute I held him in my arms today was the day. When I looked into his eyes, I was Gifted with thirteen years of beautiful memories. Titus gave me his final kiss and was gone.

Every time I look at his kennel, I remember the boisterous pup who chose happiness every day of his Life. Titus has always been a reminder to look beyond disabilities and into the heart and soul of the person or animal we are graced with daily. We are the lucky ones to experience their unconditional, infectious Joy.

Tonight, when you look into the Night Sky, look for the brightest star hopping all around with tiny stars chasing it. That will be Titus and all the other NAR pups that passed before him. Their delight in having him cross over will light up the Night Sky forever.

Titus's bills kept mounting over the last six months, but we continued. Please DONATE in his honor and give us a chance to pay off his bills and help more dogs like Titus. With all his disabilities, our precious pup lived out his natural Life Span. Titus was almost fifteen years old when he passed. Titus was under the Love and Care of Noah's Arks Rescue for thirteen years. Titus is a perfect example of what we do when the World has given up on a beautiful pup, and we step in.

Thanks for giving Titus and all the other pups at Noah's Arks Rescue the Gift of Life, which is filled with unconditional love and support.

OKATIE, SC.....Give Medical Care to the 38 Dogs at Noah's Arks Rescue. Please, help Us, Help Them by DONATING.

https://www.noahs-arks.net/animal/view/all-38-dogs-at-nar

A Donor asked me the other day what I did when I was not saving abused dogs. She asked because she was under the impression that when I did not post for funds for a specific animal, I was free as a bird and did not have any dogs to look after. I looked at her, extraordinarily confused, and had no clue what she was talking about.

We have 38 dogs at Noah's Arks Rescue. They are either in our Hospice Program, Rehab Program, or this is their Home since they never fully recovered from the unimaginable abuse they endured at the hands of Mankind. Approximately 5000 sq. ft houses our animals and Fetch Mkt. our Not-for-Profit Retail Store. In addition, we have approximately 1000 sq. ft. of outside kennels with K9 grass for the dogs that can be outside in the daytime.

Each animal has medical needs that cost thousands. Animals that vets say would be lucky to live a couple of months with their injuries or disabilities are given the Gift of a Lifetime. Every medical and emotional need is met, and they are getting to live out their NATURAL Lifespan. An average dog at Noah's Arks Rescue has been with us for 10+ years. We are their Home.

We do not get government funding and rely solely on donations, including my donations, to ensure each animal receives the care they need for as long as they are with us. We DO NOT put any animal to sleep because of lack of funding.

I took the time to explain this to the lovely lady. She was shocked to hear what we do daily and how many animals we have in our care.

When you do not hear from us, we are busy living up to what we agreed to do when we rescued each animal. I did not save them to discard when I needed funding. I see people grabbing dogs in the guise of rescuing them. I also see the same people getting rid of the dogs any way they can to grab another one to raise funds, all in the name of RESCUE. I made a commitment to myself and our community of Donors to take care of the pups at Noah's Arks Rescue for their Life.

It takes a village to do what we do, and we are now asking you to donate toward the 38 lives in our care, not for one dog but for every dog housed with us. Next week, I will be posting for individual dogs, but for now, we need to cover every dog that needs food, medication, and surgery that has lived with us for a very long time. We are their Family, and you are their Village.

Please, DONATE toward the ones you originally wanted us to save who are living their best Life. These pups are so well cared for and loved they never want to DIE. Noah's Arks Rescue has evolved over the last 20 years. Love and Care can erase a Lifetime of pain and suffering for any animal. All you have to do is look into the eyes of those who should have died long ago and see unconditional LOVE.
We are their Family, and You are our Village, and we need you now more than ever. Please, DONATE.

COLUMBIA, SC.....1 y/o 15 lb. Terrier Mix Run over and is Critical. Please, help Us, Help Him by DONATING.

https://www.noahs-arks.net/animal/view/ringo-small-terrier-mix

COLUMBIA, SC......I received a text from Animal Control at Columbia Animal Care Services begging for help with a one-year-old, 15 lb. terrier mix that had been run over. Animal Control was very specific in letting me know that this sweet pup was not just hit but was run over. Ringo was brought in by the person that ran over him when he ran out in front of their vehicle.

It was late, and the note I received below says it all.

Urgent!! – Snapper is at Columbia Animal Services in Columbia, SC. We are seeking an IMMEDIATE MEDICAL PULL for him as he is at risk of euthanasia by 5 pm if we cannot get a 501c3 rescue to commit to him due to the severity of his injuries and that we do NOT have the resources to care for him over the weekend properly! We do not have a vet today or tomorrow and cannot treat him.

We changed his name to Ringo and agreed to take him, knowing he would break the bank with his medical care. A vet in Columbia offered to keep him through the night and transport him to the Charleston Veterinary Referral Center (CVRC) in the morning for us. At this time, x-rays had not been done, and we knew, based on his pain level, that he was critical.

I informed CVRC that Ringo would be arriving in the morning and emphasized how critical his condition was. Sweet Ringo arrived and was immediately taken back for assessment. He had several serious injuries, including a pneumothorax, a fracture of the right scapula, luxations of both the left and right sacroiliac joints, and an impaction-type fracture of the right acetabulum (articular), which resulted in a narrowing of the pelvic canal. Additionally, there was a fracture of the left p***c bone and intracapsular soft tissue swelling of the right stifle.

Ringo was too weak and depleted for any surgery to happen. Dr. Sura, his surgeon, did not think he would survive the procedures he would need to walk again. I was also informed his procedures (after our discount) would still be way over $20K, and he would probably need extensive rehab. Dr. Sura needed a CAT scan to see if any damage was done to his spine. I approved her going forward, saying we would talk after the scan.

I was prepared for more injuries and accepted that no matter how much I wanted to save an animal, some cannot be saved. Dr. Sura got back to me and was shocked Ringo did not have any spinal injuries or damage to his spinal cord. He has a deep pain sensation, was able to move his tail, and should be able to use the bathroom once he is stable.

Adorable Ringo looked like a dog that wanted to live. His poor body was broken, and he was in pain, but there was still a lot of Life left in this precious tiny pup. I told Dr. Sura that if Ringo survived the weekend, she could proceed with his surgeries on Monday Morning. During the weekend, he started eating and became familiar with his surroundings and Team of Specialists. He no longer wanted to bite everyone who got near him and even allowed certain people to hold him.

Ringo did well with each of his surgeries and had to remain in the hospital in ICU for almost two weeks while he recovered. I was told Ringo had to be on strict cage rest for two months once we took him out of the hospital. He is now with us recovering and is finally allowing us to cuddle and pamper him. He has a long road ahead, but we are very optimistic.

Now, the hard part: We must raise funds to cover his procedures and rehab. Please donate as much as you can for this precious pup. Any amount is greatly appreciated.

TREASURE has crossed over The Rainbow Bridge.

https://www.noahs-arks.net/animal/view/treasure-poodle/1224

Treasure had a Lifetime of unconditional Love squeezed into the eleven months we cherished our precious boy. No one could have loved a dog more than the Noah's Arks Rescue staff. We adored this special boy from the first thing in the morning until he went down to rest at night.

Treasure seemed to have an internal clock telling us it was time for him to eat. If his food were not placed in front of him at the exact time, he would scream, making you come running, thinking something horrible had happened. He let us know we were late, and he was unhappy. He trained everyone to set an alarm on their phone so we were never late with his food, which he loved. We got his weight to a normal weight of thirteen pounds, all on exceptional food we blended daily.

Treasure was in and out of the hospital for various reasons each week to ensure we had not missed anything. The Vets and Staff at Port Royal Veterinary Hospital adored him as much as we did and were always glad to see how well he was doing.

Treasure had a cart we had custom-fitted for him. He would walk around inside and out and hang with the other dogs, which he loved. Every dog would approach Treasure in his cart and give him kisses. Our special boy became part of the pack. It was as if he had been there all his Life. Treasure got to have an everyday Life filled with love and care. Whatever hardship had happened in his past was a distant memory long forgotten.

About two months ago, we discovered Treasure was struggling to walk. We found a hard lump on his leg and had it biopsied. Treasure has Osteosarcoma, which is a fatal bone cancer. The only cure, if it had not spread, was to amputate his leg. That was not something I was going to do to this special pup. I decided to keep Treasure comfortable and let him tell me when to say goodbye.

Two days ago, Treasure did not want to eat and could no longer walk. I knew the time had come for us to let him go. The strangest thing happened: Treasure was more alert than ever, and his eyes, which had been cloudy and weeping, were crystal clear. It was as if he was happy and in no pain at all. He became very vocal and kept looking up as if he was seeing dogs that he knew that had passed before him.

Jeri and I were with him and were amazed at how chatty and excited he was. We were very sad and suddenly realized we had given Treasure the greatest Gift a human can give an animal they love. We let him tell us when he was ready, and he was. Within seconds, our precious boy was gone and crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. We know he was greeted by Family that had crossed before him. Treasure told us how much he loved us and was happy to be going Home.

I don't think I have ever had a dog as in touch with the Heavens and us as Treasure was when he crossed over. Every time Jeri would say, "I Love You," he would say it back. It was tough to be sad when we saw how happy Treasure was. Treasure was a Gift we cherished.

We still have many bills from Treasure's care. If anyone would like to help with those bills, please DONATE.

Tonight, when you look up at the Night Sky, look for a section that is twinkling from one end to another. That will be Treasure's Family celebrating the return of their precious boy.

Thanks for giving Treasure the Gift of Life and unconditional Love. Your support allowed him to find love and the medical care he needed.

LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA...16 w/o Tiny Poodle Mix abandoned in Critical Condition. Needs major Medical Care. PLEASE, Help Us, Help Him by DONATING.

https://www.noahs-arks.net/animal/view/cricket-poodle-mix

LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA......A jogger in Rhodes Jordan Park in Lawrenceville, GA, contacted Gwinnett County Animal Control after finding a tiny five-pound abandoned poodle mix. Animal Control initially called him Casper, but we changed his name to Cricket.

Cricket, barely able to walk, was found in a distressing state. His legs were stiff, his rear end soiled, and his abdomen marked with urine burns. Despite his condition, he appeared not to be in pain. The Team at the shelter, recognizing the severity of his situation, immediately began their efforts to diagnose and treat him.

Despite his condition, Cricket's spirit remained unbroken. Initially thought to be eight months old, he was just a 16-week-old puppy. His medical condition required him to be placed in a Rescue, but due to the severity of his condition, finding a Rescue for him was proving to be a challenge.

I sent a message saying I would take Cricket and immediately sent his info to Live Oak Neurology in Savannah, GA. When Cricket arrived, Dr. Jason King was shocked at how bad he was. His bladder was so distended that he would have to have it expressed. The problem is he could not express his bladder. No one was able to because of his rigidity. Instead, a catheter was inserted to drain his bladder. Dr. King said it was the largest volume he had ever removed from such a tiny dog.

Cricket was referred to CVRC, a facility with specialists dedicated to diagnosing his condition. He spent a week in the ICU, with every possible test and procedure being conducted to determine the cause of his health issues. A urine catheter was placed to monitor his bladder, and every possible neurologic parasite was tested for.

At first, everyone thought Cricket had Muscular Dystrophy. The problem is that it did not explain his bladder issue but could account for his stiff gait. X-rays were taken, and CVRC discovered Cricket's left greater trochanter, or femoral head, was fractured. When Cricket was sedated for an ultrasound, they tried to express his bladder while under sedation. It proved to be impossible, so the catheter was reinserted.

Cricket's urine culture came back. Two nasty bacteria were growing, so he was started on several antibiotics. Our once energetic puppy was becoming very down and had a high fever. Every Specialist in the Country was consulted on this adorable puppy. Every test and procedure they recommended was done.

Lots of negative results were coming back, and very few positives. Frustration and Fear do not even begin to describe how I was feeling. Every test imaginable was done to look for an obstruction, and none could be found. The MRI provided some valuable information. Cricket either has remodeling where he fractured or early osteomyelitis, a bacterial infection of the bone. The second issue they found was bilateral distal iliopsoas myositis, which is inflammation of the muscles which is extremely painful.

The Iliopsoas muscle in dogs combines the psoas major and iliacus muscles that extend from the lower back and pelvis to the upper thigh bone. It helps dogs flex their hips and stabilize their core. Poor Crickets were highly inflamed. Cricket's urine culture finally returned, and he grew two bacteria. The antibiotics he was prescribed would also address the infection in his bone at his fracture site.

Cricket's catheter had to be removed during the MRI procedure. When they reinserted the catheter, they discovered that Cricket would posture and push urine through the tube, which had never happened before. They decided to clamp off the catheter at various intervals to see if his holding urine for several hours would get the same response they had seen earlier. Cricket was able to do this one more time.

Unfortunately, Cricket developed a fever that lasted several days. They decided to remove the catheter and not insert it as long as he could urinate. He started to urinate in lots of stop-and-go postures. They would monitor how full his bladder was, and he would remove more urine daily. Cricket was also on a prostate formula since his prostrate was slightly enlarged.

Cricket was on a long list of medications, and gradually, they started to work. It took several days for his fever to subside and his normal, cheerful personality to return. Although he was not out of the woods, signs of improvement were visible. Cricket's hospital bills, even after our discount, averaged $2,000 daily. He was too sick to leave the hospital, and my only option was to keep him where he was. Cricket was in the hospital for seven days. He was improving, and that was all that mattered.

We have no clue why someone would abandon a tiny puppy that could not take care of himself and could barely walk or urinate. It is inhumane what happened to this puppy. If you don't want a dog, take him to a Humane Society. Don't leave him to suffer, and worse if another animal attacks him.

Euthanizing Cricket was never an option for me. I had rescued him to save his Life, and I was determined not to give up, even when we had no answers. Every negative result was still valuable information that would guide us in the right direction. There were times when I, along with the vets and specialists, felt helpless. But giving up was never an option for anyone on the Cricket Team.

Cricket is not out of the woods. He must be on antibiotics for six weeks to clear the bone infection. He must also be closely monitored to ensure he eats and drinks enough fluids to keep his bladder functioning normally. Every time Cricket postures to urinate, we have to make sure he is urinating and not just posturing. Cricket's case is one of our more complicated ones. The financial burden of having a puppy that can't leave the hospital or they will die is mentally debilitating.

We need everyone to please DONATE as much as possible for this tiny Angel discarded like trash. We do not know what horrible abuse happened. We know he is improving, and we will not give up on saving his Life. Your generosity makes saving pups like Cricket possible. Without you, none of this is possible.

HAZELHURST, GEORGIA...18 month old Pitbull SHOT in Mouth. Needs major Medical Care. PLEASE, Help Us, Help Her by DONATING.

https://www.noahs-arks.net/animal/view/jubilee

HAZELHURST, GEORGIA.... No matter how hard I try to understand the Human Race, I am always left wondering why anyone would choose violence and abuse over compassion. On one end of the spectrum, a dog is abandoned on someone's property, and they post the information about the dog with lots of pictures. Sweet, loving, and wants nothing more than to be pet on the head. The family can't keep the dog we call Jubilee, so they did the post. They do not have a fenced-in yard, and Jubilee loves chasing their farm animals. Jubilee took off after a deer one afternoon and was never seen again. That was in July of this year.

Next, other posts say a sweet dog was seen in the Townes Bluff area by the river. Jubilee would approach people and was nothing but sweet and loving. It's heartbreaking to think that no one picked her up and took her to Animal Control. Given her lovely nature, I guarantee they would have found her a wonderful home.

This is now the beginning of October and tragedy strikes. The following post for Jubilee was of a dog that had been shot in the face and needed Medical Care. Now, everyone is jumping up and down to get her help. A rescue we work with in Vidalia, GA, asked if I would consider taking Jubilee and doing all her surgery. My first response was we are way too full, and the ones we have are at an age where they need a lot of medical. I said to send me all their information on her, and then I would decide if I could help. Two minutes later, I was on the phone saying I would take her. I would not turn my back on her when so many good-hearted people let her down by not ensuring she was safe.

We are guessing Jubilee is around three years old and has had a litter of puppies in the last six months. Her injuries look like someone put a gun in her mouth and fired. She has bullet fragments in her jaw from the impact. The gunshot took out part of her jaw and teeth on the right side. As you can see from the pictures someone posted, Jubilee is still loving and wants nothing but kindness. She is still unafraid of humans and gently craves attention by rolling over on her back and smiling.

It breaks my heart that someone purposely put a gun in her mouth and FIRED. Such an innocent, trusting Soul that would not hurt a fly. I get upset just typing this because she trusts everyone she meets, only to be brutally harmed.

We had Jubilee taken to CVRC in Charleston, SC, where everyone was horrified by what someone had done to her. Jubilee has a stubbed tail that never stops wagging. It twirls around in a constant circle of love and delight for everyone she meets. Because she has metal in her jaw, we had to do a CAT scan instead of an MRI to determine how bad the damage was and what could be done. After a lengthy conversation with her surgeon and discussing all of her options, I decided her damage was too extensive to put a plate in, and an external fixture would cause further discomfort since she would catch it on everything.

I approved surgery to debride the area, remove loose and damaged teeth, and put her jaw in as normal a position as possible, given the extent of her injuries. After surgery, she would have to wear a small mouth muzzle to keep her jaw in place but big enough to eat a slurry of food. We kept her in the hospital for a while to make sure she did not have any issues with eating and to get rid of the infection she had from her injuries.

Jubilee did great with the procedure and has slowly shown significant progress in the stability of her jaw. She has gained weight and is loving her slurry of food. When she runs around, we take the muzzle off briefly so she can open her mouth and pant. We want to keep the mobility in the joint of her mouth but protect her jaw. Jubilee will be in the muzzle for another month, and then an x-ray will be done to determine if her jaw is stable or needs more surgery. We hope that she will develop more bone and heal beautifully. We are certainly doing our part to make sure that happens. Only time will tell if she needs surgery to stabilize the jaw.

In the meantime, we have to cover her medical care and surgery. Please donate to this beautiful pup and give her the Life she always wanted—to be part of a Family that loved and adored her and cherished her unconditional loving Spirit.
