We have a new intake who needs your help 💚
As some of you may have heard, over the weekend a sweet golden retriever was abandoned by her owners with nothing but a jacket, boots, her medication for seizures and a note saying her owners would not be returning for her in an Okotoks off leash dog park.
Her name is Raiya
The owners were leaving the country and instead of finding an appropriate home for her, they abandoned her in the cold.
Thankfully, a Good Samaritan found her and brought her to SAVE - Southern Alberta Veterinary Emergency in order to ensure her safety and wellbeing moving forward.
She is now under our care and we are doing everything we possibly can to help Raiya thrive and help her to become medically clear as currently, she is not.
We will NOT be taking any adoption applications for her at this time until she is medically cleared and decompressed from her world being completely flipped upside down
This Sweet girl has suspected hip dysplasia and also has a seizure disorder that she is currently on medication for. We are actively working on getting all her medical needs cared for which will be upwards of $2,000 to start
If you would like to donate towards Raiya’s medical costs, we would be so appreciative as we are doing everything we possibly can to ensure Raiya lives a long, happy, pain free life with a forever family who will never abandon her.
