Sandy, a fellow rescue friend of mine called me at work one day to see if I could have one of our vets evaluate a little Yorkie that someone found at a Garage Sale. Sandy had been waiting a long time for a little Yorkie to come into her rescue as she wanted one for herself. I told her yes we would evaluate the little dog that was unable to walk and lived OUTSIDE! Hope was brought in shortly after the phone call and when I went to get her out of the crate it was like a little Gremlin came to life. LOL She jumped at me with all those teeth showing and growling with all her might. This poor little girl was terrified. I went and got a towel and took this little monster out of her crate and thanked the lady for bringing her in. I then walked back and asked Dr. Julie to take a look at her, she looked at her and then at me and thought….Vicki what have you brought in this time. I’m known for bringing in the most pitiful cases and once again I was at it. Hope was so frightened we ended up sedating her, she had teeth of a 10 yr old Yorkie that had never had a dental, she was so infested with fleas and old dead hair that was matted to her skin. She was very underweight at 2.6#. We x-rayed her hips and legs because they were so deformed. We noted that she had a perianal Hernia and was incontinent of urine and stools.
I asked Dr. Julie to give me her honest opinion on what I should do; she and another vet told me that the pitiful little dog should be Euth. This broke my heart and I called Sandy to let her know what the Dr. had found. After talking with Sandy I knew I could not put this little dog down.
I bathed and combed and worked on cleaning her up a bit. I decided to take her home with me and keep her until Sandy and I could meet for her to take her. We decided that we would do whatever we had to to help her. After keeping Hope a day or two I knew I would not be able to part with her. I emailed Sandy and asked her if she would be to upset if I kept her for myself. I did not hear from Sandy for a couple days as she was upset that I was taking her little Yorkie. Sandy finally emailed me telling me I was right, Hope needed to live with me. (That was the name she had chosen for her) I have experience with disabled pets as I am a vet. Tech. And work with these kinds of animal’s everyday.
I took Hope to OSU Vet Clinic in Columbus where she spent the day having all sorts of test run. When the tests were finished they called me into a room and gave me the news. Hope was born without the last ¼ of her spine. She is missing her sacrum and her tail bones. She has no nerves to her colon or her bladder and would be incontinent of both and there was nothing we could do to correct either of these problems. The soft tissue surgeon said we could correct the perianal hernia with surgery. Her bladder sticks through the hernia and that would have to be repaired using netting as she has no muscle mass in her rear legs to work with. This surg. was quoted at $2200-$2500.
Hope was scheduled to have surg. This week as she is finally over 3#. But Mother Nature has decided she is healthy enough to come into heat so surgery will be postponed until the New Year.
Thank you so much to all of you who have offered prayers, monetary donations and all the lovely gifts that have been sent to Hope.
Hope was a gift sent down to me from Heaven.

God Bless you Vicki for taking this little sad angel on...and giving her a chance at a new life. What is her personality like? Is she warming up to you yet?

[Hope's Mom]

Little Miss Hope is my little Shadow. She goes everywhere I go. I'm lucky to work at a vet clinic where I am allowed to bring her everyday. She does not like men or children very well and it takes her awhile to warm up to some woman. She needs to learn to trust again. Hope gets along well with my other 3 dogs in the house. We have another Yorkie, Dickens who is 12, a 1 yr old 10# wirehaired terrier and a crazy German Wirehaired Pointer. She has adjusted great to living a life of luxury, with all her wonderful clothes people have sent her. She was an angel sent to me.

I made a small donation (not as much as I would like to donate because Katie has a lot of vet appointments set up to figure out the extent of her heart murmur and if it will require surgery -- but I guess something is better than nothing).

Totally agree !!!! She a messed up person to say the least !! Poor baby

[gymbo68]

Vicki-

[Hope's Mom]

Just to let you all know little Miss Hope had her surgery yesterday and is doing fine. She is very sore today so she is medicated to try and sleep off some of the pain. Her bladder tacking and spay went well. Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers.

There are no words for the rage I feel right now. Well actually there are, but I'm afraid if I put them in writing I could be arrested. I'd like to drop kick that woman until she is a bloody pulp.

[whispersmom2]

Vickie, there is no doubt in my mind that there is a apecial place in Heaven for people like you. I can only hope that there is a special place in Hell for people like her!
Thank you for the up-date on Hope. I am saying prayers for her and you as I type.
I just finished reading about a miller in PA who was gonna throw 2 older dogs in the pond to drown them if the rescue did not come right away and get them. They are selling their kennel and wanted all of the dogs gone and murder was an option..
