Disabled little princess needs someone fast Pic Added

[sajoseph]

If you are in Alabama or close to. There is a little 3 month old pitbull , chocolate and white, with a nuerological problem sitting in a shelter. I am assisting a local rescue in looking for a foster home. She WILL NOT be pulled from the shelter until we have a foster in place and ready.

She was found a few weeks ago in the woods by some people riding four wheelers. She is very "shakey". There is no cure for her problem and no one will probably ever be able to tell why she has a nuero problem, it could be from anything. Being the owner of a very disabled dog, there are many possibilities.

But I do know that she needs saved awefully fast. The disability make it hard on her to be cramped in a cage all the time- it can possibley worsen her making her joints ache and such.

I will take if her it comes down to rescuing her from being PTS, however I am starting college and am going to be short on time, so please if you have the patience for this little girl I PROMISE you will NOT be let down-rescuing a truely deserving disabled dog does wonders for your soul.

I can send more info if you are serious.

And thanks again. If you cannot help, please spread the word everywhere that you can. I have been steadily trying to let everyone know.

Thanks

I know I should probably keep my mouth shut...but I don't understand sometimes. Why do people put so much effort into disabled and sick strays when there are perfectly healthy ones that are being PTS. I'm sorry...best of luck, I just don't always agree with these "rescues".

I totally agree. Wouldn't it be better to put this time into other healthier dogs who are going to be more adoptable and thus make more room for incoming dogs?

I think it is more humane to euthanize these disabled\sick animals rather than have them kept alive for our benefit... how do we really know what their quality of life really is??
Like everyone said there are many healthy sound animals out there that should be priority, spending much needed funds to save these doomed animals doesn't make sense to me.

OMG i m so heartbroken by this story...

i understand what everyones says but it s still sad story...poor baby...

[majestikmoose]

exactly. rescues bitch and moan for "help" and "donations", stop with the vet bills that run into the hundreds and thousands. stop keeping alive neurogically disabled dogs.

A PIT BULL WITH A NEUROLOGICAL PROBLEM is NOT a good candidate for your average, or even slightly above average pet owner. do you guys not THINK about the kind of people that will likely be adopting this animal??


euthanize this dog and move on.

Being the owner of a disabled dog, that was permanently disabled nuerologically due to an infection of Chorea at birth-which was derived from Distemper from a vaccination that HER MOTHER received-I 100% DIS agree with your input and opinion on the dog not being worthy of being rescued, AND that the dog is not a good candidate for an owner of ANY knowledge/experience.

If the problem is pinpointed to the motor skills department, then a disabled dog is NOT a threat. AND if the problem is in motor skills, no meds or vet visits are gonna cure that anyway-thus no high vet bills.

And not everyone is looking for the perfect APBT. Some people actually have hearts big enough to want to help ANY dog in need. That after all, is called rescuing. Thinking every dog deserves a chance to live happily. Not picking and choosing. I, and others agree, that a disabled dog is so much more rewarding then a "normal" dog, I dont even think about what will happen once Daizy is gone, because I cant see that far.I dont want to.

This princess has a shot at a long healthy life, and Imma do everything to try and get her one-even if that means posting everywhere I can think of and praying someone LIKE ME will take her in. If not, then I will.

If you do not agree then move on, but do not preach the gospel if you do not own a disabled dog, or have ever had the pleasure of helping one in need.

Isn't your disabled dog one that you bred??
That is a completely different situation IMO.

How many healthy dogs do you think have been put down because this one dog has been taking up that cage?

I do not like the fact that you assume just because we don't agree with you that we don't have big hearts, I think it is being realistic and doing what is best for the animals health sometimes acutaly takes a bigger heart.
Don't make yourself out to be a saint because you rescue dogs with disabilities, a lot of times these dogs don't have any quality of life because people like you want to keep them alive for the sake of keeping them alive.

Great post Terra. Sometimes it takes a bigger heart to let an animal go than it does to keep them around.
