Coastal Pet Rescue currently has four dogs undergoing special and extensive medical care:
Hope
Hope is a very special dog. She was left behind when her family moved, and the landlord found her tied up in the yard on a chain. Sadly, she had spent so much time out there, the collar grew into her neck. The landlord left her at the Savannah Emergency Veterinary clinic. The techs fell in love with her and called Coastal Pet Rescue to take her. Hope was maintained on pain management and antibiotics and had her wound sutured before she was picked up by CPR.
Since her arrival to CPR, Hope was transferred to Georgetown Veterinary Hospital and her wound was re-opened to reduce complications in the healing process. She was boarded with GVH to receive ongoing, daily care for her wound and came home to her foster mom July 29.
Unfortunately, Hope also tested strong positive for heartworms. Given the severity and the issues surrounding her current state, Hope will be on Heartgard for three months before she can have her treatment. She will be under heartworm treatment for two months thereafter, at least. If everything goes right, Hope should be ready to be adopted between Christmas and New Year's.
Kuma
Kuma and her son, Kobi, were found wandering the streets. After two weeks of searching for an owner, they were turned over to Coastal Pet Rescue.
Kuma is a typical Golden Retriever, loves to give kisses and will follow you everywhere. She has gained weight and her fur is no longer coarse. However, she is heartworm positive. She has already received her first treatment. She will start her second treatment the first week of September.
Cora
She was found at a dump site during the rains of tropical storm Fay. Our president spent over a half hour gaining her trust to get her home to someplace dry with good food. Coastal Pet Rescue had her spayed and shots administered, however, it turns out she is also heartworm positive and will need treatment.
Junior
This sad little boy found his way to Chatham County Animal Control after being hit by a car and left at the emergency vet due to financial limitations of his family. Junior is getting around great right now, but is enjoying resting comfortably in his foster home and being nursed by his older foster sister. He is currently undergoing exams at Georgetown Animal Hospital to determine the extent of his injuries and the necessary medical treatment needed.
Please consider making a contribution towards their care. Even $10 can really add up for these pets.
