Animal rescue can be very difficult at times.  Emotionally a roller coaster for those involved.  Finding animals in the horrors we do, makes you physically sick.  We cry, we shake, we get ANGRY………. and then, something happens to remind us exactly why we do it.  Something happens to remind us how these helpless  bundles of love depend on us.  Something happens to show us, even one life saved is a victory.

Almost 2 months ago, I posted emergency help notices for a sweet sweet girl named Daisy.

Her petfinder ad stated, “Daisy is about 10 years old and weighs 17 lbs. She is what is called an “8-inch Beagle”. She has been horribly neglected during her life and we have started vetting her to get her all better. She is playful, happy and sweet tempered with people, dogs and cats, and her favourite activities are to play with the dogs and lounge around at her wonderful foster home. She loves people, dogs and gets along fine with cats too!”

Daisy was extremely ill, and starved.  We watched her at her foster home begin to thrive.  Every day that went on, we grew more confident that Daisy would make it.

I just received word, that not only has she made it, but she is doing amazingly well.  Don’t  believe me?  You should see her petfinder page now!!!

“***November 25th – What? You’re kidding! … OUR Daisy ? Impossible! Our foster Mom took “little old lady” Daisy to the vet’s yesterday. Well, this is astounding: my vet started examining her, couldn’t believe it, and so they asked all the other vets’ opinions. Everyone concurs: Daisy could be as young as 2 years, is probably around 3, but in any case not more than 5 years old!! I’m trying to wrap my head around what this means…

On the negative side, I guess it means her initial condition & energy level were SO bad that she seemed prematurely aged when she was first rescued about a month ago … POOR thing! But the positive side is much greater! Daisy has many years to live and make some lucky person very happy!!”

What does this mean?  Daisy is doing great, but in order to save her she has some substantial vet bills.  Please make any donation that you can!  Donation can be made right through her petfinder page by clicking here.
