Believe it or not, another surgery!

Dogs needing surgery

Dogs needing surgery

Here we are, barely three months into a new year and Rosie has taken on yet another dog with a fracture that requires specialized surgery.

You’ve likely already read about Bobbi, who came to us in January, and Lisa, who was rescued in February.

Thankfully, Bobbi is doing well in his forever home; his cast has come off and his family is totally in love with him. They are is so grateful to Rosie for saving Bobbi and can’t imagine life without him.

Lisa is coming along quite well. She is still recuperating from the surgery needed to repair three separate factures, and is receiving physiotherapy to help in her recovery. It won’t be long before she is ready for her forever home.

Now meet Maya. Maya is a 3-month-old large mixed breed pup who was brought to the veterinary clinic with a broken leg. Unfortunately, due to the high cost of surgery, the family could not keep her and had to choose between having her euthanized or surrendering her to Rosie. As she is such a sweet dog, there was really only one choice. Maya is now resting at her foster home and will need many weeks to recuperate. God bless the fosters!!

Needless to say, these surgeries are expensive, and treatment for Bobbi, Lisa and Maya comes to about $ 10,000.00. We know the dogs are worth the expense; we wouldn’t have taken them on otherwise, but we cannot continue to take on special needs’ dogs without the help and support of others. If you believe that these helpless animals deserve a second chance and would like to help them, please make a donation. We thank you – and so do all these precious dogs who don’t have voices of their own.

Emergency Help

Rosie Needs Your Financial Help to Heal Faith

On July 28th, 2010, Faith a beautiful 1-1/2 yr old female yellow lab-x came into Rosie's care. Faith was flown into Montreal from a Northern community by a good samaritan as she needed surgery as soon as possible or her life was going to be ended. Her eye was ''hanging'', her ear was cut and during her spay - it was found that she was at the beginning of a pregnancy. Dr. Lawlor and Dr. Dix of Pierrefonds Animal Hospital performed the surgery. The enucleation of the eye was done, her ear was sutured and she was spayed. Faith arrived with a collar to which was attached a rigid electrical wire. She was obviously a chained dog and this wire could have damaged her eye..... All we know is that this was caused by trauma. Saving Faith has come to a great expense to Rosie - pls help Rosie with her medical bill.

This year we have had exceptionally high veterinary expenses due to a number of unexpected events. The main items have been four major surgeries and treatment of dogs who have been surrendered to us with parvo. These are obviously expenses over and above the normal costs of making sure we provide healthy dogs for adoption.

These are dogs who would not have had a second chance if Rosie had not stepped in to care for them, which is why we took them on, but we cannot sustain these costs without help.

We want to continue to help these "last chance dogs", please support us so we can save more of these unfortunate dogs.
