Pat Lukos has provided sanctuary for Gretchen; a senior GSD from Virginia. This old gal was encumbered with a grapefruit sized mass on her hock...how uncomfortable for her! Special donations are needed to help Gret as she is right this minute having the mass removed at Pats vet clinic. Gretchen will live out her life in utter bliss in Pat's loving care. From a horrendous kill facility to Heaven on Earth!!! Bear was finally brought in to Elizabethtown Animal Clinic on Saturday by Ted the ACO...he was immediatley put on IV fluids due to severe dehydration and starvation. The woman could only throw food; Bear was the husbands dog and was left tied to a tree 24/7. The husband left, and the wife was on oxygen. Her hose only stretched 50 feet..Bear was more than 60 feet from the house...We have no idea how he got any water other than brackish rainwater...This poor 2 year old boy is suffering from horrendously infected ears due to the incessant flies. He will require a few days of TLC before we can considering locating a temporary foster for him. We have the offer of an EXPERIENCED foster in Maryland, but this might take a week or two. Anyone who might be able to hold this boy and give him the love he deserves while awaiting transport, please contact me. His eyes tell the story of his hopelessness...no dog should live like this. You can send your donations for these two directly to the clinic via credit card over the phone...any amount would be appreciated as now having TWO dogs requiring specialized medical care, we find that our funds are being stretched to the maximum! Our ability to save lives will only continue as long as there are funds and foster placement available!
