About Gina:
A little tiny shelter in Louisiana with only 6 dog runs needed help with this girl. The story has it that they know who she belonged to but they never came for her, we leapt into action knowing her stray hold would be up at 8:00 am this morning and Mr. Ricky Barnes left at 4:00 am to make sure he was there right at that time to which her away from this suffering life she had been living.
She is now on her way with Mr. Ricky Barnes and as you can see she’s a mess. Ricky reported this morning what he was told from shelter staff.
“They think she is about 1 year old. They took her to the vet yesterday and the vet said the one eye with the cherry eye has started to form cataracts and she may not see too well out of it. The other eye seems to have good vision.
She had been shot with a b b gun and they took a pellet out of her back leg. She is emaciated only weighing 65 pounds and heartworm positive.
She is a wiggle worm and sweet as can be”.
We already have an appointment with Dr. Reno for her to be seen and the Eye Institute has been called as well, she appears to me to have entropian and that is most likely scratching her eye over and over again which can lead to blindness.
We will get her all shined up like a brand new penny.

Welcome to Dog Ranch Rescue Gina ❤

UPDATE 11/18/2021

Sweet girl Gina has had her eye surgery and is now staying with foster mom Christi.
She’s a beautiful dog and now that her eyes are repaired we will be able to see that much better now. She’s got lots more vetting to still do. She’s now in heat and will have to wait for her spay and after that she’s sick with heartworm and will have to have treatment to kill those worms that are currently trying to kill her.

UPDATE 11/1/2021

Proud of little Gina Bear who passed her behavioral tests today. She’s roaming with the pack now and loves the other dogs. A little bear for sure, but with some of her features, she reminds us all of Joe Joe.❤

UPDATE 10/30/2021

All we heard was how wild and excited Gina is. It became very clear after spending some time with her that her excitement is just wanting to be touched and when people would try and do stuff to her ie medication, she would be so wild they could hardly get it done. Just a couple of days later, it gets easier and easier and she just wants nothing more than to be touched and loved on. She is such a sweet little tiny bear…

UPDATE 10/29/2021

Gina was examined yesterday by Dr. Reno, her eye is so badly inflamed with all of the lids that the actual eye cannot even be seen. She has dry eye, she has entropian, she has a cherry eye and we are putting medication in her eye 3 times a day to try and get the swelling and inflammation down and on Monday she will be examined again to get a better understanding of what damage has occurred with this eye.
She is a young girl, she is a little wild girl, she has clearly had absolutely no positive human interaction in her life, she knows nothing about going in and out of a crate, she knows nothing about walking on a leash, she is very food motivated for obvious reasons and most importantly she is adorable and sweet.
She seems to me to have just lived outside on her own and had little experience being a pet.
We will keep her at the ranch isolated for a while, feeding her several times a day and medicating her as well. She has terrible diarrhea and Dr. Reno said she pooped a lot of sticks out when she was there so she’s been just scavenging and most of the time when they start eating regularly it causes diarrhea.
She has the lounge to herself and the lounge yard, she can come inside or outside and has a nice bed inside to rest when she would like.
It will take a while to vet this girl, she’s got lots of issues but we will get there slowly but surely.
