Carley

Adopted!

This basket baby is Carley. After being sold in front of a Walmart as a young puppy, Carley lived a dangerous life, until she was handed over to VGSR. Now she is safe in a foster home. This 5-month-old cutie-pie is getting a new start on life. A patient foster mom is teaching her to trust people and be part of the foster family. She loves all her doggy siblings and will be house- and leash-trained by her foster parents. We've have been told that Carley has a heart murmer that may effect her ability to live a normal long and healthy life. Carley is in Northern Virginia. Carley was examined by Dr. Lefbom of CVCA (Chesapeake Veterinary Cardiology Associates) who diagnosed her with Patent ductus arteriosus. Without a surgical repair, her life span would be 2-3 years total. With surgical ligation her prognosis is good for a close-to-normal lifespan. Her surgery is scheduled for July 7th. The total bill for surgery and hospitalization will be around $2400.00 to $2600.00. Ouch! If you would like to make a donation to help us offset these expenses, it would be truly appreciated. Thanks for caring.
