Shelby’s Help!!!
I received an update from Laurinda yesterday and want to share it with all of you.
Dear Debbie,
I wanted to give you some great news! Shelby is having her amputation tomorrow, 1/13/10, thanks to the San Luis Obispo Golden Retriever Club’s donations. I had contacted a friend to ask for a referral of a doctor that I inquired about after hearing about another Golden Retriever who had some problems with her legs and had one amputated. This request led to the President of the Golden Retriever Club offering services of asking local vets for help and then for donations after the vet was selected!
I am pleased to let you know that your post also helped on Paws Awhile! The surgery is being performed for future vets at Cal Poly University, San Luis Obispo tomorrow and I am so pleased that the students will be learning about helping animals in this way, and that the vet has over 20 years of experience with various surgeries and animal treatments, including many amputations.
I will be happy to send a picture of her after the surgery is completed and she has healed. I wanted to send you this gorgeous picture that was taken by the President of the Golden Retriever Club here, to obtain the help she so desperately needs to have her leg amputated.
Isn’t this fantastic? Thanks again!
Sincerely,
Laurinda & Shelby!!!
