1/10/23 – This is Hans (black and white) and Princess Leia. They were rescued by two people whom we’ve worked with in the past. In the process of doing outreach they discovered these two very wounded dogs in an abandoned house in Detroit. They both had multiple injuries, old and new. The rescuers cleaned their wounds as best as possible. Hans looked like he had bite marks all over his face and legs and his lip was torn. He also had what looked to be burns on his face. Princess Leia had a recent eye injury that appeared to be a bite along with some older bit wounds and her neck was swollen from an imbedded collar. The rescuers found a rescue group to take in both dogs but the group could not afford the potential medical needs and that is when we were contacted.
Hans and Leia were taken to a veterinary clinic by the rescue (Paws, Awes, & Claws) where treatment for the wounds was given. But, Leia was found to be in heat and Hans was found to be positive for heart worm. That is when we stepped in with one of our partner veterinary clinics. Leia has been spayed and vaccinated and Hans has started his pre-treatment for heart worm. When that is completed in 30 days he will be treated with the heart worm injections and when appropriate he will be neutered and vaccinated. The rescue will be seeking a furever loving home for these very abused but very sweet dogs.
And, without the support of so many animal advocates, we could not make a difference in so many lives. So, again, thank you. – diana.
