Shelby and Laurinda Need Your Help!
I received this e-mail today. If anyone out there knows of a way to help Shelby and Laurinda please contact me or Laurinda.
Hi Debbie,
I saw something on NASCAR today about possible assistance with surgery for animals in need, and I just adopted Shelby, a 2 yr old Golden Retriever from our local shelter in San Luis Obispo on 9/1/09. She was kept by a breeder and has recently had pups, but was born with a deformed or congenital leg that does not work, no range of motion and “literally” hangs on her side as she attemps to jump up and climb stairs, all the while oblivious to her situation.
She is a wonderful dog, I love her dearly and she is acclimating very well to my 12 yr old Lab Mix and 7 yr old Kitty.
I would like to find out if there are any assistance programs to help pay for the amputation of the leg, as it is possibly going to cost around $3,000. and I just don’t have that kind of money, but couldn’t stand to see her stuck at the Pound with the possibility of not being rescued and being put down.
Here is her picture and any information on who I can contact or how to would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Laurinda
