An early Christmas miracle happened today for Mistletoe! (Missy) This little sweetie, about 3 years old, was abandoned outside an apartment complex when her owners moved away several months ago. She weighs about the same as a newborn baby – around 8 pounds! Living on the streets in the middle of the city, frightened and wary of people, it took several people from a nearby office building, a few of our volunteers teaming up and coordinating together, patience and hours of dedication the past few days to finally get her to safety and inside a warm foster home tonight. Now, we need a few more miracles for her. She has an injured eye that may have to be removed, she’ll need to be spayed, have her teeth cleaned, get her shots and a microchip. She’ll also get a heartworm test – let’s hope she’s negative! All of these medical costs add up. After taking in over 300 dogs this year, our rescue has exhausted our funds. We could have said no, there’s no room at the inn, when we received the appeal for help in catching her, but how could we turn our backs on such a sweet face in this season of giving? If you’d like to donate towards Mistletoe’s medical costs, donations can be made via PayPal to ruffdogpictures@yahoo, or you can make direct payment to our account at the vets who will treat her – Dr. Minter, 972-231-1435 and Countrybrook Vet, 972-530-3951. Mistletoe is also now hoping for a lifetime home for the holidays. If you’re interested in applying to make your home her home too, please request an adoption application at info@recycledpomeranians. We’d like to thank Dusty Linville, LaChunda Reed and Shenia Hicks, who alerted us to Mistletoe’s situation and helped in her rescue today, as well as our volunteers Holly Dickinson, Eva Calhoun Bell and Wendy Newton. If you’re considering gifting a pet to someone this holiday season, please make sure they are ready, willing and able to commit to caring for him or her for the entirety of the pet’s life. No animal that comes into a home with joy and enthusiasm should be left to fend for themselves or taken to a shelter a few months later.
