KELLY'S STORY Kelly was picked up by animal control and taken to the pound. we were called that a pup had been hit by a car and had a broken leg and needed rescue. We went down to get her and took her to our vet . He has told us that she was not hit by a car but that someone kicked her so hard that they broke the nerve in her shoulder, she also had a small wound on the side of her head where the toe of the shoe hit. Because the nerve is broken her leg is paralyzed and must be removed . We are building her body and her other 3 legs up so she can have the surgery. There will be some recuperating time but then she should be good as new only 3 legged. Kelly is a very loving little girl and why she is still loving after what has been done to her is beyond me . she is about 8-9 weeks old will have her shots to date and has been started on Heart guard . KELLY When Kelly first came in she could not hardly stand up she was afraid of every thing and every one , she has been with me now since April 24th and has made a lot of progress she now is a happy little girl who can walk even though its difficult for her she doesn't let it slow her down. She is now very loving and happy to see every one who comes by her .. Kelly will be having surgery to remove her leg as their is no repairing a nerve. The surgery will be expensive and we have a special fund started for her. If you would like to make a donation toward Kelly's surgery it would be TAX DEDUCTIBLE we are a 501(c)(3) rescue just email us and we will tell you how to send your donation or we will give you the name and address of the vet who will be doing her surgery.
