My girls, the Jack Russell in the front is not a rescue but is part of the family.
Bailey( white terrier mix) Sandy (golden mix) and Izzie(shepard mix) were adopted from the same shelter. Bailey has overcome so much in her 1 1/2 years of life. You can not tell by this pic but she has a disability. A few weeks after I got her from the shelter she started limping, after many many tests and vets it was discovered she had neospora and she would never use her back legs. Her back legs had become stiff so fast and would not even bend anymore. If she wasn't going through enough in a playtime her sister fell on her leg and broke it. Of course it was late at night so it was a trip to the emergnecy vet, they loaded her with pain medication and a semi soft cast. Next morning I spoke to her regular vet and we talked about amputatation that would leave her stubs.She is such a trooper it has been almost a year since the amputation and she is doing more than I ever thought she would. Her latest accomplishment is going down the steps. I never in my wildest dreams thought she would be doing that. She is a loving and happy dog she looks like she's smiling all the time. People have asked why do all that why not just put her down? No way! She had my heart and all the vets justs loved her too. She desearved every chance I could give her.
You don't have to be perfect to be loved or give love.
