She had been there for 8 days with no food or water, Sure there was food & water in the kennel but there were 5 other small dogs in there too, very young and hyper. Needless to say they got their share and poor Gracie got none. When I asked too see her they just looked at me like you are kidding rite. When they got her out for me and we went into the visiting area they sat her down and she fell over. She was so week from starvation that she didn't even have the strength to just sit. When I took her to the vet they ran blood and took x-rays. Turns out the only things she needed were GROCERIES and dentistry. Imagine that. And the teeth were not what was keeping her from eating because when I got her home she ate like a trooper and emptied the water bowl. Well I hade her for 4 yrs before she died of kidney failure. I think she would have probably lived longer had her system not been so taxed from her 8 days at that shelter. She was the most grateful little dog and loving she was house broke too . Never once from the day I brought her home did she ever have an accident. I named her Amazing Grace and that she was. |
That is very sad. So who are we going to trust now?
BTW,Grace is lucky to have you.
