Who can Adopt a special needs puppy and Save Her Life?

December 20, 2008 · Filed Under dog adoption 

I was contacted by a veterinarian at an animal shelter in Florida about a special needs puppy.

You can see this adorable pup at http://www.dogs-4life.com/violet.html

I am trying to help find a rescue or home for the pup.
 
The person who has been fostering is in dire straits and is considering euthanizing her if she can not find a placement.
 
The email from the vet, Dr. Brown is below. I have spoken to her and she is trying everything possible as
this is a special little pup but is in fact a shelter pup now and she does not want to euthanize.
 
I believe the shelter may assist with transport or wheelchair costs if possible.
 
Any help will be appreciated….feel free to forward this info to anyone who may be able to care for a
special little pup who had a very tough start in life.  How about you ??
 
Interested parties fell free to contact me by email at thepressinfo (at) yahoo  .com
 
thank you

Hello, I am a veterinarian at a county animal shelter in Florida .  We are seeking for a rescue group who can take a puppy ( Chihuahua mix) that came into the shelter with a spinal fracture.  One of our Animal Control Officers (ACO) took the puppy into foster care to avoid euthanasia.  The puppy has had radiographs and neuro consults.  The Neurologist called the puppy a “spinal walker”.  Apparently, the radiologist did not feel the puppy was a surgical candidate.  She has use of one of her hind legs but not the other one.  Front legs are normal.  The ACO is not in a position to keep this puppy long term and has already been fostering her for about 6 months.  She has also tried all local resources for placement without any luck. 
 
Please let me know if your organization can take this puppy into your program.  We would find a way to transport her.
Regards,
Dr. Karen S. Brown
