Update 7/3/12 From Erica at Loveabull Paws Rescue: “We will be bringing Mary into rescue as soon as she starts feeling a little better. Mary’s unborn puppies didn’t make it through the very extensive surgery she had to remove bullet pieces from her chest and lungs. Mary is now stable and aside from being in a little pain (which is normal) she is in good spirits and still gives little tail waggs and kisses. Please keep Mary in your thoughts and prayers as she continues to recover from this very traumatic painful experience! “

Update 7/2/12 The doctor that did the surgery did an amazing job and she saved Mary’s life! When I saw Mary today she was in some expected pain, but she was in good spirits (some tail waggs and kisses). It’s horrible and unfortunate what happened to her, but this is the reality of the world we live in. In this field we see it much too often, but with “teamwork” Mary was able to be saved! 4 Paws was able to pay for her surgery, Venus lined up a rescue willing to take her, and Loveabull Paws Rescue reached out to welcome her in open arms into their amazing rescue group. This is what it’s all about!!! One more life given a second chance!!! ~ Gina

Mary was at the wrong place at the wrong time today…but….she is in good hands and will be properly cared for from now on. Two gun shot victims were brought in to the emergency on July 1. Mary’s sibling didn’t make it because he was shot in the head. Mary (pregnant) was shot in the chest. 4P1H provided the medical care and there is a rescue group lined up to take Mary if she pulls through this. I will provide an update once more information is available. ~ gina
