Skye came to us with a sad story...
We
received a call from some women who found a sweet, older German
Shepherd that had been thrown into a drainage wash. The poor
dog was injured, and could not get out of the wash on her
own. These kind rescuers rounded up a team of people to help
lift Skye out of the wash, and they took her straight to a
veterinarian. Although she suffered some cuts and bruises
from being thrown into the concrete ditch, the veterinarian
noticed something more. Skye showed signs of having been
abused. Her back had old injuries that indicated that she
had been hit or kicked in the past. Skye had lived a hard
life, then was unceremoniously dumped into the wash like trash.
Skye
is probably about 9-10 years old, and we immediately took her into
the rescue. This sweet girl is very loving, and gets along
well with other dogs. Although her back and legs are still a
bit stiff, Skye enjoys going for a walk, and looks forward to her
daily outings.
Thankfully, a great
family has volunteered to foster Skye so that she can recover in a
nice, warm, loving home. At this point, it appears that her
"foster" home will become a permanent home for this
sweetheart.
