TLC has
the policy of pulling one 'hard case'
for every four dogs or puppies we pull
out of the local shelters... This is our
most recent 'hard case' and her name is
BabyLove... If you can bear to see the
original shape she was in when we found
her the first week of January in a HIGH
kill shelter, read through her blog
HERE.
CAUTION - the
original images are pretty graphic, so
if you have a week stomach, please be
advised.
BabyLove
was dumped in a shelter after months of
untreated Demodex... There was few
places you could pick her up and/or hold
her that her skin did not 'sweat'
blood... Having lost the hair on the
majority of her body, the untreated
Demodex had progressed to destroying the
top layers of skin, caused secondary
infections and cracking, her system was
overrun by infection, inability to grow
and heal, etc. It will take months
for BabyLove to be ready for adoption,
but in the meantime, she still needs vet
care, meds, proper nutrition and care.
The photo
above is a month of progress... To the
left, you can still see open sores on
her face in January... To the right, you
can see her coat has started growing
back in on her head and although some
parts of her body have not yet returned
to a healthy state, she has made great
progress.
We can't
do this alone... While we can put in the
time for daily baths, vet visits,
rehabilitation, etc. your donations make
it possible for TLC to continue its work
on these hard cases left at the shelter
to die... YOU make as much of a
difference with your financial support
as we do with our hard work, energy and
long hours trying to save these dogs.
If you
have a few extra dollars, TLC and
BabyLove sure could use them.
Donations can be made online through
your credit card and/or PayPal account -

recovery process!
