This weekend we welcomed a new BFF! Everyone meet Lola, our first rescue dog!🥰
A family friend found this poor angel wandering around a community garden and texted me pictures asking for help. Although we are a cat rescue, I couldn’t say no to that sweet face and immediately drove over to find her and take her into Veterinary Emergency Group to get her some much needed help. Based on the wounds, the injury was old since it had mostly healed over with the exception of a couple spots that were still draining. The doctor and nurses cleaned up her face as much as she’d let them and sent her home with some antibiotics. She is estimated to be about 4 months old and she’s the biggest cuddle bug!🐶💕
The following day, her wound was smelling a little funky so we took her back and they sedated her this time to clean it better, and under the scabs and discharge from the wounds were some small pockets with wooden pieces embedded into her face. We had them taken out and she already looks better! The doctor believes Lola was hit in the face with an object purposefully due to the irregular shape of the wound and how deep into her face the pieces were. 🥺
This was obviously sad to hear, because even though Lola had a sad origin story, she is the sweetest and calmest puppy and we are going to make sure that she gets the life she deserves! She is now resting with a foster family and getting caught up on lots of snuggles and we hope her journey to recovery is smooth from now on! 🙏🏼
Please if you’re able to, consider donating or sharing our post! This puppy deserves a second chance and together, we can make sure she gets it! Thank you for your love and support and for helping us be a voice for those that can’t speak!💙🐾
In other news, our girl Sweet Potato was adopted yesterday! This leaves our lovebug Julieta as our remaining kitty looking for her forever home! We’re hoping to find her a home soon to be able to take in more BFFs! If you know someone interested in adopting or fostering please send them our way!!
