Sasha's Story - Rescues Can Work Together
The number of requests we get to save dogs on a regular is often overwhelming. We do our best and make decisions based on available resources, financial, fosters, vet schedules and other factors.
We get requests for dachshunds, mixes, not even close to dachshunds, big and small. Once in a while a dog comes along with a story that grabs our heart in such a way that we feel like we have to help.
That is what happened with Sasha.
President Pam got a call from a caring woman in Alabama who could
not watch this sweet girl suffer anymore. Sasha was living outside in
the scorching heat, scratching herself raw because of the insects,
only a mold filled water container and intermittent meals at best.
Sasha is not a dachshund, not even close to a dachshund, maybe
never met a dachshund, but she clearly needed help.
So the answer was to find a good rescue that would take her in if
we could get her here.
We aren’t sure why, but not many rescues work together, but we are
working on changing that one little bit at a time.
Pam reached out to one of her rescue friends who runs Mutty Paws
and told Ashley the story and begged for help. Ashley said yes
If we could get Sasha here, she would take her in.
Our transport coordinator, Joanna, got to work and between the
woman who called Pam initially (the owner happily surrendered Sasha)
and a DRSF transporter, Sasha’s trip south to good vet care, love and
air conditioning was planned and executed.
Once here, her first stop was Dr. Bruce’s Animal Hospital where she
got a bath, flea meds, some anti itch meds and a heartworm test (so
happy to report it was negative). She next went for a visit to Pam’s
house to check how she was with other dogs (mellow and sweet as can
be) and then she was transferred to Mutty Paws.
Sasha is in need of some medical care, she has a few growths that
need to be removed, she needs to be spayed and have a dental and she
needs to be fully vaccinated.
The money we raise here will go directly to her medical care that
will be provided by Mutty Paws’ veterinarian.
We know this isn’t our regular ask for money, but we couldn’t let
this sweet and mellow boxer mix girl suffer any longer.
We would love it if some of our followers would head on over and
follow Mutty Paws page, you can donate for Sasha through their
Facebook, their website or through us and we will transfer the
donations directly to cover her costs.
We are so happy that we have this wonderful relationship we are
cultivating with this amazing rescue and look forward to working with
them more in the future.
