Dachshund Rescue South Florida hasn't added a story.
Every IVDD dog is a gamble. Aside from it being understandably difficult to raise $4,500+ rehab to cover a surgery, even if we raise the funds and the dog doesn't walk again we have all but guaranteed we will have that dog for the rest of their lives as IVDD survivors/cart dogs are nearly impossible to place.
The last thing we wanted to take on is another IVDD dog but when we received the attached video and heard Cookie screaming in pain with her family not in a position to help her, we took a deep breath and said "yes, we will take her".
Transport was organized and Cookie was on her way to Southeast Veterinary Neurology where she would receive an MRI (to see if she was a candidate for surgery) and then if so, off to surgery, with us crossing our fingers that she will regain her ability to walk on the back end.
We know there are many amazing IVDD survivor families out there and we raise a paw to every family who has stood by their dog when facing IVDD. We have an extremely limited number of fosters who will take IVDD dogs and an even more limited number of families who are willing to open their homes and hearts to adopt a cart dog.
There are three things you can do to help Cookie and the 5+ other cart dogs we have in our care right now - you can donate to her care (being able to cover the bill is the first thing that makes is possible for us to take IVDD dogs), if you want to join our Special Ops Foster Team and care for IVDD dogs (there is no cape required or medical training necessary), please fill out an application, and most importantly, if you are looking to add a dog to your family, we challenge you to open your heart a bit further to consider an IVDD dog as our ability to take the next one is hinged on our ability to place the ones we have in our care now.
Our first order of business though is getting Cookie's surgery funded. Can she count on you for even a few dollars to help us provide the surgery she needs to have her chance to walk again?
