Kelce still has recovering to do but because of you she’s on her way to having the golden life she deserves! #yourdonationsatwork
UPDATE on Kelce. Kelce is doing great from her fractured femur repair. She’s out of the dreaded cone and enjoying a bone . Her fur is growing back nicely and covers her scar. She limps a little but is slowly putting more weight on it. Kelce thought you’d like to see #yourdonationsatwork
🚨 We are $235 from our goal!!!Look at Kelce’s sweet, smiley face. She’s feeling good and is no longer in pain. Plus she’s loving her family. Kelce is enjoying cone-free life and taking short, slow leash walks several times a day to rehab her leg. She starts heartworm treatment on Nov 19 which is the final piece in her recovery. Kelce is $235 from our goal for her orthopedic surgery. Let’s do this and put Kelce over the top. Please visit Kelce’s #gofundme to make a donation. We appreciate everyone’s support!

Are you looking for a fun and rewarding way to get involved with GRR? Fostering is a great way to help get dogs ready for their furever homes. It’s also a great way for your resident dog to have a temporary buddy and a way for you to see if adding an additional dog to your household is right for you. Just as we do with adoptions, we carefully take into consideration the dogs needs as well as your own to ensure a successful match and fostering experience. GRR does not a have kennel so we rely heavily on foster homes. Before we can accept a dog we must have a foster home for them to go. If you think fostering is for you, visit our website to learn more and let’s get more dogs rescued! https://grr-tx.com/is-fostering-right-for-me/

Kelce’s story:A gentle spirit is shining through: Kelce’s second chance needs your support.On September 6, Gold Ribbon Rescue accepted a rescue-to-rescue transfer from Laredo for 24-095 Kelce and her two four-month-old puppies 24-096 Elway and 24-097 Brees. The previous owner could no longer afford to feed Kelce and her pups, such that Kelce was very skinny - estimated to be 10-12 lbs. underweight at an astonishing 40 lbs. Upon examination by our dedicated GRR vet, the extent of Kelce’s suffering became clear. She was not only battling malnutrition, but also contending with other serious health issues: heartworms, anaplasmosis and hookworms, a mass on her nose and another on her eyelid. Kelce was also not spayed. Even more heartbreaking was her emotional condition - being very shy and withdrawn – her spirit seemed diminished. She required assistance to get in the car and she could only muster being fed by hand. The limp in her back legs, especially in the rear right leg spoke volumes about the pain she had endured. Kelce’s story took a heartwarming turn when she moved to her foster home. Surrounded by compassionate people who showered, and who are still showering her with love and care, Kelce has begun to rediscover the joys of doggy-hood – good food, medical attention and a friendly kitty. Life has become sweeter now, as she learns to trust again. Kelce is improving and was strong enough for spay surgery and to have the masses removed. The x-ray of her legs revealed an obvious right femur fracture, however it is badly displaced and had likely happened some time ago. The femur will require replacement with a plate and a rod. Heartworm treatment has been postponed until the femur heals. This GoFundMe is for $4,000 - to cover the cost of Kelce’s femur surgery and rehabilitation scheduled for October 21st. Gold Ribbon is unwavering in our commitment to the health and well-being of Kelce. We are absolutely dedicated to her rehabilitation. But we can
