Dachshund Rescue South Florida hasn't added a story.
Back in December, we were on a hunt for a special forever home for Tiwggy, a beautiful two year old girl who found herself in rescue in Puerto Rico after being hit by a car where she sustained a pelvic fracture and some spinal cord damage. She was fully ambulatory and her only issue was that she has no bowel or bladder control. We brought her from PR as we had hoped Dr. Wong and the SEVN Team in Miami would have some kind of idea or trick up his sleeve to help her, but he did not. She was also been seen by Dr. Unis and Dr. Horgan at LeadER Animal Specialty hospital and unfortunately, neither of them had a medical or surgical solution they could offer either.
We found ourselves in the challenging position of helping this beautiful girl, that we had committed to, to find a home that was understanding and willing to work with her condition and love her as every dog deserves to be loved. We had no foster home that would take her due to her condition and obviously not being a doxie, so we did the best thing we could think of and Twiggy went to stay with Dr. Loeser at Animal Recreation and Rehab to be loved on in their home like setting and to have treatments in an attempt to strenghten her bladder. We needed a plan and we needed one quick......
We were so committed to her, we pulled out all the stops and offered something we never had before, in that we would transport Twiggy to whever that Forever Family was that would love her and cherish her the way she deserved to be - we posted on FB, and emailed to our entire list. We held our breath, clicking refresh like crazy women, waiting, hoping, begging the universe to help us find a solution for Twiggy.
The universe has a funny way of making you work for the really good stuff and boy was it about to throw us a loop <3
We had a few inquiries from families who thought they had "the right stuff" to be Twiggy's family, but then, we got an inquiry, from a Mom who aready had two dogs with a similiar condition to Twiggy, was familiar with the extra work it would take. We held our breath as we have learned not to believe it until it is a done deal....vet reference - check, references - check, home visit - check. Twiggy had a home and could you guess where it was???? In Alaska!!!!!! Now all we have to do is get here there!
We are here to ask your help to cover Twiggy's last two months of treatment and care at Dr. Loeser's Animal Recreation and Rehab, where Twiggy has been staying and receiving physical therapy and treatments in the hope of strenbthening her bladder and as well to cover her flight and escort to Alaska to her new Mom.
We will be sharing video of Twiggy's journey when she takes the 14 hour flight from Ft. Lauderdale to Anchorage and we have fingers and paws crossed that you can help us cover Twiggy's care and transport so that we can continue helping make Doggie Dreams come true!
As always, we welcome your support in a donation of any amount and even if you are not able to donate, we still invite you to leave a message of love and support and/or to share her story!
