This is Diamond.
5 days ago she woke up believing it to be any other day - whatever that entailed for her. Within hours, her world exploded - and she found herself like u see in the video. Her family, her home - all of it was gone. When the person who surrendered her to Philly ACCT walked away to leave, Diamond fell apart. How could she not? The constant noise, a non-stop stream of panic, of sadness, of distress. She became a part of that - joining into the mass number of dogs that are sitting in that shelter, praying for a savior.
Witnesses who were there when she was surrendered - and saw all the interactions - felt that she was NOT a found stray as this person claimed, but that it was their OWN dog. This person felt that their best and only option was to surrender her to ACCT, which is running at overcapacity. Once the mammary mass and baseball size tumor that is ravaging her uterus was found, that's when Diamond's world was about to end. About 48 hours after she was surrendered, Diamond was timestamped to die. She was going to leave this world petrified, sick, surrounded by strangers. She was going to leave this world begging to LIVE.
So many amazing people networked to save her. So many people fought for her. And it was 100% due to the love and mercy shown by total strangers that made it possible. When the multiple videos of her trembling in her run were posted, it sparked a explosion of compassion. People offered to foster, to donate, to transport....all of it needed. But we are just beginning...
Diamond has cloudy bloody drainage coming from her vagina. She was not spayed so we are fearful that this is uterine cancer. As I said earlier, she also has a mammary mass. Her appointment with our vet is tonight (5/9) at 6pm. As soon as we know fully what we are dealing with, I will update everyone. I don't know what her prognosis is, but I will tell u that we will do everything we can to give her the longest life with QUALITY. This is where we need ur help.
All the people who helped save Diamond - we still need u. Usually the momentum all disappears after a dog like Diamond is rescued, but THIS is where the help is really needed. Because I can't do it without u. I simply can't. RDR was not originally slotted to take her - so I was not financially prepared for the veterinary bills that are coming. Please consider even the smallest donation. Donations can also be called in directly to our vet, Delaware Valley Veterinary Hospital [phone redacted].
I don't know if we can fix her - but I want to give her every chance... every hopeful chance... possible. She deserves that. Please - help us give that to her <3
