Hope for Chloe

Please, bear with us: This one is going to hurt a little, but it has to be done. We would like to believe the worst is over now. No sooner did a kennel open up this afternoon with Pongo’s adoption (yay!) than it was filled.

This little girll, who we are calling Chloe, is a very special case and needs a lot of help. She was dumped at the shelter and was going to be put down this week. Weighing only five pounds (yes, five pounds!) from malnutrition and neglect, she didn’t stand a chance at being adopted. Several volunteers saw her photo and couldn’t stand the thought of her dying like this. They rallied with the shelter (thanks to Gwinnett for working with us) and she was pulled today. She is now safe at our rescue. They took some photos of her journey to share.

As you can clearly see, she is in terrible shape. We are hoping the malnutrition is due to the fact that her teeth are nothing short of horrible and it’s too difficult for her to eat. That can be addressed. We gave her some fluids and baby food, which she ate with gusto. She was also peeing and pooing, which is a very positive sign. We are taking her to the vet this week for a thorough check-up.

If you would like to help us help this little girl get well and find the life every dog deserves to lead, please visit our donations page. State in the special notes that it’s for Chloe. Thank you for all your support and prayers. This little one is going to need it. You know we will keep you posted on her progress.
