Saved from euthanasia, Bucky and Eliza
Tax deductible
BUCKY
Thankfully a good samaritan discovered this young baby boy after being hit by a car, both legs severely fractured, underbelly bloody with road rash, a sign of being dragged while being hit - and left for dead. Bucky ended up at a high kill shelter where most dogs in his condition are euthanized due to a lack of resources. He had just a few hours to be saved.
A local support group heard of Bucky's plight and put out a plea. We had but 2 hours to make a 1.5 hour drive to save him. Even with Labs & More's limited resources during the winter months where the demand is highest we acted, praying our supporters would come through when we needed them. Upon arrival we knew it wasn't good as he was unable to move or walk. The vets confirmed our fears - both legs were severely broken and emergency surgery was needed as infection was setting in. Within hours he was in surgery.
Bucky received FHO surgery on both sides. Although coming out of the surgery groggy, in severe pain, legs in casts and splints, he slowly dragged his body with his front paws towards the recovery team to receive kisses and comfort. Whimpering but stoic and still wobbly from surgery his first wish was to be loved. His recovery will take months and will not be easy but this boy is getting the best we can offer and the love is free!
ELIZA
Eliza found herself as a young pup abandoned in a small and remote shelter in the inland desert area. She was quickly adopted and even more quickly returned. The family took her to their veterinarian for her spay surgery and found a heart murmur. Upon telling the family, they knew they were not in a position to provide her the care she would need to live. The shelter deemed her 'un-adoptable' and were going to let her go - words that tore into our hearts. In a last ditch effort a shelter volunteer made one last call to Labs & More. Within hours our volunteer was on the road to the shelter over 3 hours away to give this girl her only chance.
Eliza had her visit at the Vet Specialty Hospital where we soon learned her prognosis. Sadly this beautiful and spirited girl was born with sub-aortic stenosis, where she will be in constant danger of heart failure and her life will continue to be day-to-day. Even though this severe condition cannot be surgically corrected we are working with our vets to manage her life with medicine and care. With your help we are determined to give her quality of life and not be sad about her time. We are hopeful that with medical maintenance and a patient, loving pet parent she may experience a normal, loving and warm home of her own.
Your help is urgently needed!
You wouldn't turn your back on these dogs - and neither did we. You are why we said yes when asked to save these discarded dogs from euthanasia. We know the community of friends who support Labs & More will come together again to give us the means to pay for their vet bills & recovery care.
These special dogs, with such severe conditions, were not a good combination for being saved. They had no other way out. We are able to save dogs like Eliza and Bucky because of YOUR generosity.
You give our volunteers the tools to do this life saving and compassionate work others turn away from. Your donation goes directly to their care.
