Dachshund Rescue South Florida hasn't added a story.
We are contacted frequently, very frequently for people asking for help. They need help and they usually need it right away. We try to walk the fine line between managing our boundaries and resources while providing a sacred service to the community and the dogs we work with. Most of the time, people deal in reasonably good faith, and then there are times like this....
We were contacted by someone looking to surrender 5 doxie puppies. That in and of itself is not exactly a small task to intake all at once, but yes, ok, we can help.
Fast forward to when the arranged transport arrives to get the puppies and somewhere along the line, somehow (and this seems like something that is pretty darn difficult to mix up) 5 puppies has now turned into TWELVE DOGS.
TWELVE DOGS.
You said FIVE DOGS.
And now there are TWELVE.
That seems like the sort of thing you mention....
Plan A, turns into Plan B, we can take 11 of the dogs.
Upon arrival to Dr. Bruce's where everyone is being examined, it quickly becomes evident that 3 of these 9 dogs need urgent medical care and we are now facing one hernia, and two cases of hydrocephalus.
Our heads are exploding...5 turned into 12 and now we have three life threatening conditions on our hands.
Starling, the little girl with the hernia was placed in the Pambulance and they went straight to LeadER where Starling had an ultrasound to diagnose the hernia and she went right to surgery.
Dove and Sparrow are headed to Southeast Veterinary Neurology to be examined by Dr. DePompa and determine if they are candidates for a shunt, which is the only thing that can save their lives.
We try to take the high road, we try to give people the benefit of the doubt, we are not even saying that we still wouldn't have said yes if we knew what we were facing, but someone asked for our help and was not transparent on any level about what we were getting ourselves into.
So we do what we do...we take a deep breath and remember that we are about the dogs and karma will take care of everything else.
We are back again, with three more little ones who, through no fault of their own, are sick, and have made it to our door. We believe they are worth it and we hope you do too...
