Our beautiful Rose needs your help.
Many will remember Rose. Left for dead in 2018 at the side of the road with 2 back broken legs. Nobody came looking. The first vet said she needed to be euthanised but thankfully that's when we were called.
Alan Mayo at Nantwich Pet Vets saved Rose's life. He unperturbed set about fixing her and rebuilt her slowly over 14 months. I genuinely believe not many other surgeons could have pulled off the miracle Alan pulled off and this girls life could have been short.
By the end of the 14 month recovery period Rose had shown us her demons. Demons from the life before she made it into our care. As loving as she could be she could also be let's just say quite violent, still to this day she remains unpredictable and has to be handled in certain ways. You can't tell Rose, Rose decides.
The staff at the kennels are all use to Rose, her foibles and with us in the main she's a positive delight. A demanding one but still a delight and Rose made the kennels house her own.
On my 3rd day of my holiday I received a call every rescuer dreads. Rose was lame. Not weight bearing and had been rushed to the vets. Her cruciate ligament had gone on her most damaged leg. The leg that had taken 14 months to rebuild. I felt sick and I'm not going to lie my holiday then comprised of thinking of her every minute. I was assured though albeit it lame she was still being her usual mischievous self.
Alan was also away on holiday so we waited till yesterday when Rose received surgery. Sadly due to the past damage she could not receive the preferred fix of a TAA instead receiving TPLO. Alan is convinced the surgery went as well as it could on a leg that had already received vast amounts of trauma.
We now have yet another £2500 to find. Like Timotei though Rose is worth it and we are sure she will handle the next few months recovery like the warrior she is. She will hopefully be home today after a night resting in the vets.
The first few photos are Roses initial state when landing, then photos of her journey to the window climbing mischievous diva she is today.
We know that Rose has a HUGE Greyhound Gap following. She's loved. Even by those whose as* she's attempted to place her teeth into.
If anyone would like to help us with the cost of once again fixing this special girl we would appreciate it.

Please mark Rose. If we were lucky enough to receive more than Rose needed this would of course be transferred to other dogs in our care vet bills.
We will of course keep you updated with her progress
