Jasmine
Her Grade 2 Fibrosarcoma was far too advanced when she came to our program for the veterinarians to save her. She has stolen hearts across the country! Because her owners failed to get help for her in time, she will like not make it to the end of the year and certainly not live to celebrate her sixth birthday. Had she received the appropriate diagnostics and medical treatment in time, her life expectancy would like have been extended many years, perhaps into her teens.
JASMINE has gone to the bridge. The integrity of the blood vessels in her jaw were compromised, and it became difficult to stop the bleeding. The risk of her bleeding to death overnight was great, and we opted to allow her to leave in the company of loved ones, but not before she got to chase one last rabbit. Her doctor, Susan Plaza, took her around to say goodbye to her many friends at CSU, and then helped her go to sleep. We could not have hoped for an easier departure for her.

Paralyzed due to a traumatic back injury, BEAUMONT was in dire straits. The professionals at the University of Tennessee- Knoxville Veterinary Teaching Hospital felt he had a chance at recovery through intensive physical therapy, and they were right!
Several thousands of dollars and a couple of months later, BEAUMONT demonstrated his skill at counter-surfing. He is doing well in his new home and his new Mom (who works at the Veterinary Hospital and fell in love with him during his stay there) tells us that he is continuing to improve as the muscles regain strength.
BEAUMONT showed us the Irish determination to beat the odds, and we are grateful for the opportunity to have turned his sad story into a happy one.

MAGGIE was turned into a shelter in Kansas because the owners were going out of town for the weekend, and were unable to find someone to care for her during their absence. Yeah right...
She was ill, and would improve somewhat only to relapse. When the vet ran x-rays, it was apparent the MAGGIE had to life-threatening issues: pneumonia and a darning needle in her digestive tract.
The prognosis for a full recovery was very good, and the surgery was schedule as soon as MAGGIE had recovered from pneumonia enough to be able to withstand the operation. The needle had penetrated the small intestines, and was slowly migrating towards the liver.
Maggie has a new forever home in Connecticut with RHETT, another Irish lad adopted from Save Our Setters. Her new parents and Irish brother are grateful to MAGGIE's many kind-hearted sponsors who mad her miracle possible.
