September 2011







A portion of the proceeds of Rescue Bows sales went to help Lily, the most lovable Dachshund you could ever meet.
Two days after Buster was adopted I received an email about Lily, a 2 year old Dachshund who had tested heart worm positive. This little 10lbs bundle of love is impossible not to love! Unfortunately for Lily treating heartworms can be very expensive, and to make matters worse the company that produces the drug that treats this disease recently had to temporarily stop production of the drug.
I immediately started sending urgent requests to fellow rescuers about Lilys need and asked that anyone knowing of a clinic with the necessary drug inform me immediately. As luck would have it the clinic the SPCA uses frequently actually had some!
Lily started her treatment the next day, which is followed by 30 days of crate rest, another treatment and an additional 30 days of crate rest. Through it all Lily has remained as sweet and happy as the day she arrived. Her favorite activities are cuddling on the couch and doing a happy dance for a treat.
Lilys collar is a special order just for her! It is a black collar with ribbon that has little Dachshunds on it!
