--Dog of the Month - Lily Belle
Lily Belle never had a chance, until now. One year ago she was brought into a kill shelter, 8 years old, nearly blind, totally matted and covered with fleas. Fortunately she was adopted, saving her from death. But, after only a few months her new owner was homeless and called us to take her.
She arrived at our shelter on Good Friday, covered with fleas. We were obliged to take her in. She had nowhere else to go. We discovered that she was walking into walls. She’s now blind. This beautiful sweet little Shih Tzu girl deserved to be cherished for all her life. How did she fall into the wrong hands for 8 long years?
In our 28 years of rescue we’ve always found room for one more, especially the most neglected . Lily Belle is no exception. Sadly, taking in dogs in her condition costs a lot of money, in her case beginning with a rush visit to our ophthalmologist to see if there’s any hope for any vision.
Taking in young healthy very adoptable dogs is easy. Taking in dogs like Lily Belle is what rescue is really all about. It’s the right thing to do, but comes with a great financial burden, and the terrible responsibility to screen prospective adopters to ensure her future safety and happiness.
Your generous donation will help give Lily Belle a third chance to be loved and cared for the way she should have been all along. Please donate, she’s counting on you. We desperately need your help to keep our doors open for dogs like Lili Belle.
