4 short stories of innocent abandoned dogs in need of emergency medical care. They all experienced rejection, bewilderment, fear, pain, and finally a glimmer of hope.
Lucy Loo
A young female Beagle found on a country road after being hit by a car in a rainstorm. Luckily, a good Samaritan saw the dog lying in a ditch and stopped. Her wounds were extensive, so he kindly dropped her off at a city shelter rather than leave her to die alone and in great pain. A plea went out for anyone who could help this gentle dog as the facility did not have a veterinarian on staff. A rescue group stepped forward and rushed Lucy to an animal hospital.
X-rays were taken which revealed a broken left front leg. She also had degloving injuries to her fractured toes. A cast was applied to her front leg. The medical staff was very watchful for signs of infection to her wounded toes. The bone to her right hind leg was also fractured and infected. It was decided the only realistic option for the back leg was amputation.
Lucy tolerated her surgeries so well that she has been placed in foster care to finish her convalescence. Her body wounds are healing nicely with antibiotics. Everybody who meets Lucy Loo loves her immediately because she is so affectionate and appreciative of the kindness that is shown to her.
Harley
He was found by a volunteer rescuer in a city shelter. He was sitting in the farthest corner of his cage, making himself 
as small as possible, hoping to be invisible, shaking uncontrollably. He had been surrendered by his family because they were moving into an apartment. Heartbroken, he could not understand where his family was and why he had been abandoned. He was ust a throwaway! His rescuers are confident that they wil find him a new and loving forever home.
Hailey
Rescued from a kill shelter, Hailey has a few years on her. She is being treated for demodectic mange, which is curable, and for heartworms. She was someone’s pet at one time. Why did she end up in a shelter? Her past was totally erased when she was taken through those gates. But Hailey has not given up. She is looking for that special person to love her again, and to give her a forever home.
Buddy
He was sprung from a city shelter too. He was ill with heartworms and had a painful skin condition. Had it not been for this rescue group, Buddy would have been euthanized. He has been placed in foster care while undergoing treatment for his skin problem and recovering from the heartworm treatment.
The kind and gentle volunteers who did these rescues do not have the resources to pay for emergency surgeries, medicines and continuing medical care.
