Another Lurcher girl whose life has began to to take an upturn is the little one that arrived at the weekend with this horrific leg break. She faced either having her leg amputated or even worse destroyed, as she had no one to pay her medical bill.....
Moorview Vets instantly backed me and with the support of the Animal Welfare Team of Northumberland County Council we were able to save her leg and her life.....

| Her bone has been pinned back together..... |
 |
| And is held by a metal plate..... |
So instead of what could of been a devastating outcome for such a young dog, she is staying with me and my family till Thursday before moving onto a temporary foster home to allow her to recover. She is so full of fun, keeping her rested is definitely going to be the hardest part!
She comes with her homework after seeing a physio yesterday, and we will plan to start Hydrotherapy in about 4 weeks.....

She is such a gorgeous girl, we would of done anything to save her, but that does come at a cost, and her surgery and treatment so far has already topped the £1,500 mark. This is where we really need your help. You can donate towards her bill by paypal (shak@shak.org.uk) or by sending a cheque made payable to SHAK and sent to: SHAK. Greenwell Road, Alnwick NE66 1HB or if you prefer you can call Moorview Vets direct on 0191 2566990 and make a donation from the SHAK account.
Thank you in advance for your support.
