Can you help Dolly and Luna

As you already know, I'm very active in a rescue group on MySpace. Currently, I'm working with an awesome lady named Lillian. She has recently rescued two dogs, one named Dolly and one named Luna. Here are their stories:

Luna is Star's sister. In one of the pictures you can see them both laying on the bed together. Luna got adopted out along with her other sister Lilly to a couple who did not take care of them. Lilly is still in their custody. Luna's life had to be bought back in order to save it. The man (and I use the term loosely) is a drug addict and now has 21 other dogs in his care or lack of and is getting ready to abandon them. My friend Lillian is trying to prepare people to get ready for them. They will need a lot of care, as you can see by Luna's condition. Apparently, she is the worst of the bunch.

She weighs about 25 pounds compared to her sister who weighs about 65. She is hungry for attention but afraid of being touched at the same time. She won't eat unless the others eat first and she has chronic diarrhea, so much so that it's hard to get her house trained. She is in major need of medical help but there are no funds for her or for the others that will be coming.

Lillian is doing a great job working with rescue organizations and different places trying to get funding for medical care and food for these two but money is tight and hard to come by. Won't you please help us help these babies? They deserve a chance at love. They didn't ask to be starved, neglected or abused and Lillian is available to nurture and care for them. All she needs is some funding to get them healthy. We are now...begging for your help. Please click on the donate button below and help us.



Luna...doesn't feel very good.

Luna...skin and bones.

Dolly is the most critical case. She needs surgery. You can see how horribly her leg is broken by looking at the picture but what you can’t see is that her hip was also broken at the same time. At age 12 weeks she was struck by a car. Nobody cared enough to help her recover or get her fixed. The owners let her suffer with a broken hip and leg until they didn't want her anymore and gave her away. She is now about 9 months old. The new temporary owners kept her outside in a pen that they never cleaned, so she lived in filth. When the rescue person came to get her she walked in inches of dung just to get to her. The make shift shelter had fallen on top of Dolly and clipped her scalp as you can see in the picture. Again, no medical care was given. She was covered in fleas and her water bowl was frozen solid. The way she is forced to walk, is affecting her shoulder her hip. Her hip needs repair and her leg may need to be amputated. Along with regular dog maintenance, spay, shots, food and love, this girl just needs lots of TLC. The owners of Dolly came to the temporary home looking for Dolly to put her down. When they found out she was gone, they returned with the sheriff and a court order. Dolly is a happy girl who has been abused and neglected from a very young age. Please help us help her. Donations big and small are accepted. Thank you and God Bless! If you want to make a larger donation (and please do...you can email or message me)
