Subject: CHARLOTTE, NC.....Abandoned 7 y/o Schnauzer in
Critical Condition.
Please, Help Us, Help Her by DONATING.
"Sweet
JOSIE
CHARLOTTE, NC....We were contacted by another Rescue in the Charlotte
area
that had picked up as a stray the saddest, most pitiful looking
Schnauzer
you have ever seen. They sent us her pics and said she was critical
and
could not take her into their care, so I agreed to take her. We
originally
were going to call her Louise since we had just rescued a Thelma
until we
scanned her for a microchip and found one. Her Microchip showed our
sweet
girl was seven years old, and her name was Josie. The number listed
for
her had been disconnected and there was no way to get in touch with
her
Family, so we had her taken to Carolina Veterinary Specialists in
Matthews,
NC for Medical Treatment.
Josie arrived and was so lethargic
that she was taken to ICU immediately
and that is where she has remained. She
was emaciated with lots of
terrible sores all over her body. She had patches
of hair that were missing
and did not show any indication it was going to
grow back. We have sent
off a Thyroid panel and lots of other tests that we
are waiting for the
results to come back. Josie's poor skin is a hot mess all
over. The ER
Team has already started her on medicated baths to see if we can
get her
skin to calm down, but her overall demeanor is a very depressed dog.
We
do not have a clue how long this sweet pup was on her own, but it
appears
for quite a while. She was covered with fleas when she came in but
did
not have leaves and debris caught in her fur from wandering around
outside.
Josie's eyes are in terrible shape, and she can barely see from
the
infections she has. I suspect someone had her pinned up in a yard
and
then when she became lethargic, that discarded her. Poor girl looks
like
she is around 15 years old. It is hard to believe she is only seven.
We
suspect she has a thyroid issue based on how bad her skin is.
This
wonderful dog is way too young to be giving up, so we are going to
do
everything possible to get her feeling better. We are hopeful once
her
lab results come back, we will have a better idea of what is causing
her
system to be so depressed. She has a lot more going on than
being
abandoned. Until we figure it out, she is being loved and pampered
by
everyone that is responsible for her care.
I will never understand
anyone that has an animal and then sits around and
watches them get sick or
are hurt and in terrible pain and do nothing.
All it takes is a little love
and care and not letting a situation get out
of control. What could have cost
a hundred dollars, in the beginning, is
now into the thousands and the animal
has suffered for months. Animals are
not Throw-Away Toys. They are living,
breathing beautiful creatures that
love us unconditionally.
Josie did
not deserve the Life she has had. She is a sweet pup that is
scared and very
sick. She does not have a clue what is going on in her
Life. She is starting
to realize that we are the good people and are not
ever going to let anything
bad happen to her again. Please, DONATE,
toward Josie's extensive Medical
Bills. She is going to be in the Hospital
for quite a while getting better
and then will come to our Rehab Facility
recovering until she can be placed
in a loving home. If we cannot get
Josie stabilized, then she will come to
our Facility and live out her Life
with us surrounded by people that will
love and adore her, unconditionally.

of which you spare yourself the sight".
