Hello, my name is John. Let me start at the beginning.

I got a phone call from a friend around 7pm on Monday, April 29th. He said that a friend of his had found a dog who had been stuck in her crate for several days as her owner had suddenly passed away. Little did we know how bad it was. I rushed to his place to see her and when we arrived she was still in the red steel box you can see in the photos. We spent several hours trying to calm her down, but she was terrified and we could not get close. Eventually we were able to open the door of the crate, but had to move back quickly as she was aggressive and scared. Even with the door now open and some treats on the floor, she would not come out of the steel crate. It took her several minutes to finally slowly came out to drink some water. We still could not approach her or she would snarl and bark.

At this point I agree to try and help her recover. Later we discovered that she had been in that steel box for a minimum of 9+ days. She had lived in an RV with her previous owner who had passed away some time shortly after April 17th and my friend did not discovered her until April 28th. It is a miracle she is even alive. Barely able to walk and extremely dehydrated, she barked from terror until she lost her voice. Her snout and lips were covered in bleeding cuts from attempting to get free of her steel crate.

I brought her home and for 24 hours I could not approach her. However I began to earn her trust and I was able to check her for other injuries. Over the next two days, she became very close to me and I took time off work to care for her. Our local Pet Supply store has been wonderful and provided some high nutrient food for her to begin recovery.

I'm look to fundraise for a new crate, her medical bills, and some rehabilitation training for her as she suffers from extreme separation anxiety and aggressive behavior to other people and dogs. She is a wonderful dog with so much potential. Thank you in advance.
