Dachshund Rescue South Florida hasn't added a story.
Rescue is a team sport and so when DRSF was contacted by a local rescue to ask our support for a "doxie specific" problem we were open to hearing the situation to see if we could help.
Guapo is a beautiful 5 year old little boy who was adopted by a couple who moved to Puerto Rico and to their credit, they took Guapo with them! Shortly after arriving in Puerto Rico, Guapo went down with IVDD and the family did what they could, with resources available in Puerto Rico, to help him, and when Guapo did not regain his ability to walk, the family returned him back to the group they had adopted him from.
Guapo's rescue is a great team who does excellent work with many different kinds of breeds of dogs. Since they haven't been up to their eyeballs in down dogs since 2008, when faced with how to care for an IVDD survivor, they were smart enough to know what they knew, but also smart enough to know what they didn't know and so reached out to DRSF as they had no family equipped to care for Guapo and he had been boarding at a vets office while they tried to find a solution.
Our team was faced with a dilemma - lord knows we don't have have adopters, let alone fosters to care for IVDD dogs, but we also didn't want to leave a fellow rescue who was trying to do the right thing hanging , not to mention Guapo.
We thought it over and decided as we usually do, which is "do the right thing and somehow the universe will provide", and so we let Guapo's rescue know that we were on board to help them, Guapo became a DRSF dog, and he is headed to SEVN to get checked out to see if we can help him.
We can only do what we can do thanks to the generosity of our community who have been there for us for 100+ IVDD dogs. We hope you would have done the same thing and said yes to help Guapo and his rescuers and doubly hope you would consider making a donation of any size to help offset his care!
