Our organization’s goal is to rescue, rehabilitate, and find good “fur”ever homes for homeless Labrador Retrievers.Not only do we rescue healthy Labs looking for their new family, but we also rescue Labs who require medical attention and long-term care.We are reaching out to you for help in saving one very special little girl…
When we say Lucky Lab Rescue…sometimes we really mean Lucky!!!
Baby Ruth and her sister were pulled from a high kill-shelter at 12-weeks old.Both girls were very ill with the deadly Parvovirus and were in need of urgent medical care.Sadly, Ruthie’s sister did not survive.Ruthie was nursed back to health and lived through Parvovirus, however quickly became very sick with a secondary skin infection.
As awful as it is to say it, Ruth’s skin was literally falling off of her body due to underlying abscesses that ruptured simultaneously, leaving her with a 6-inch gaping wound on her very small body.Ruth was rushed to an emergency care center where she was hospitalized and received plasma to help stabilize her and prepare her body for what was to come next
Ruth was transferred to her primary vet where she underwent 3 surgeries to clean, repair, and insert over 10 tubes under her skin to allow for drainage.After being hospitalized for over a week, Ruthie was released back into her foster mom’s arms, only to have a set-back requiring another surgery.
During her entire ordeal, everyone who had the opportunity to meet little Baby Ruth commented on how resilient, strong, and spunky this little labby girl was.Three veterinarians have called her a miracle, and all agreed that because of her amazing spirit and will, euthanasia was not the best option for this lab , and we couldn’t agree more.
Her foster mother says “there is just something remarkable about this little girl.She makes you believe in miracles, and she makes you fall in love with her!Everyday that I would visit her, I realized that this little girl doesn’t even realize how sick she really is!”
Despite everything that has come her way she refuses to give up, and always is wagging her tail, looking for affection.And because Ruthie doesn’t give up, Lucky Lab Rescue doesn’t give up either.
Ruthie’s medical expenses currently total in excess of $2000, and her treatment is not yet complete.
We are reaching out to you for any help that you can provide to help us with these expenses.Any donation, large or small, will help Lucky Lab Rescue to pay for her medical expenses and ensure that Ruthie continues to receive the care she needs until she has fully recovered.
Thank you to all who made a donation to sponsor Sam's heartworm treatment. Sam is in a quite foster home recovering. He is on mandatory crate rest but sometimes he gets to spend it on the couch in the living rooim with his foster parents and foster Lab brothers. Sam will be ready for adoption the week of September 29, 2008 Again, thank you! Without your donations we would have had a difficult time funding his treatment.
As awful as it is to say it,
