This is a delicate story and shows just how small the world is and how things come together. We were contacted a few days ago about a little mixed breed pup that was brought into the ER after eating rat poison. The family when told how much it would cost to save his life with blood transfusions and hospitalization stated that they would take him home and shoot him instead. The ER doctor called and asked us if we would take him and we did. Fast forward to yesterday when we received and email from a girl that explained that she had a Bassett hound who was getting sicker and sicker after eating rat poison. She explained this was the second dog of theirs that had done so and they surrendered one of them to the hospital. A third dog left the house and has not been found. She explained that the family had been hit hard by covid and they had no ability to pay for medical expenses for any of the dogs. She explained that this Bassett hound was deteriorating, blood in her urine, a painful abdomen and seizures. She reached out to the ER again and that is when they told her to contact us as we had already taken the first dog. She then contacted us pleading that we take this Bassett Hound who is now in heat as they had intended to breed her. Ugh.
