WE HAVE ALMOST REACHED OUR NEW YEAR'S GOAL TO GET PORSCHE SCHEDULED FOR HER SURGERY!!! Please help if you can to get us to our goal quickly!
For a quarter of a century I have rescued Florida dogs as a passion, not a job. I have nourished them back to health. Trained them with basic commands, then allowed my own pack to socialize them and teach them at a canine level of understanding. I have successfully adopted them out to loving homes within a ten day period of time.
Quintessential to this process is my Boss Girl enforcer, Porsche, a min pin terrier who is my Alpha. I rescued her from the floorboard of a car sitting in the parking lot at Animal Control, along with her mom and four litter mates years ago. I had gone there merely to renew my own dog's tag. Her mom had been run over by a car. The pups were drugged up from nursing on a mother that had been prescribed 7 different veterinary drugs but no X-rays. The pups and mom faced certain death at Animal Control as they were not viable on their own and there is no 24 hour staff nor even a veterinarian on staff at the time. The pups needed to nurse every 2 hours. I took the mom to a vet for X-rays and found out she was holding on to life to feed her pups with a broken spine and pelvis. God put me there to take over. We let the mom, Starlette, Rest In Peace.
After crying my eyes out, I proceeded to go to work with the 5 two-week old pups in a box, full of fleas, drug addicted, and nothing else. I prayed for guidance, knowing I had done the right thing, but needing a plan to move forward.
Porsche was the largest of the litter and did not want to be with her siblings, but always by my side. She quickly filled the void of the mom and trained and bossed all her siblings to the best of her ability and at my command. She is true leader at heart ❤️.
Porsche and I were attacked by a neighborhood pitbull a while back and the vet bills and medical bills have been hefty but all been handled by me. She had her pelvis and back hurt, four front teeth knocked out, but I assured that she never took a bite. I fought on top of an SUV for over 5 minutes with that pitbull and Porsche and I escaped very injured but with our lives. I pool rehabbed her, along with myself, for months and she is back to her old self, minus her front teeth.
Now Porsche needs your help and I need to ask my community to ensure that it happens, and happens quickly. Porsche suffered a urinary tract infection recently which revealed an underlying problem which has likely been there for a while. She has been diagnosed with a bladder full of almost quail egg sized mineral rocks, found by X-ray. They are too numerous to break up and alternative remedies were ineffective. I made dietary changes. The risk of cleaving one of these stones into pieces and getting stuck in her urethra could be life threatening. Her situation is now urgent, as she has a THIRD round of urinary urgencies and infection. Porsche is a very viable dog and serves to save the lives of many other dogs in my Florida County by training after I rescue. Our County Animal Control has a 42% kill rate so dogs with skills like Porsche are a key part of keeping some alive to be rescued just like she was.
HELP Porsche to continue to run, jump, climb, swim, and play in 2026! She is a beautiful, highly athletic, very viable dog in the prime of her life!
Help us get Porsche the funds that she needs ASAP for a successful surgery to remove these ROCKS. If you were considering making a dog rescue donation this New Year Season, make it to Porsche. ANY level of contribution that you can make will be greatly appreciated and used wisely for her care.
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2026!
