White German Shepherd - Large - Young - Female - Dog - Mette
Description
Hi! My name is Mette! The most adorable little girl if I do say so myself. Other words that describe me are sweet, affectionate and silly (those came from my foster mom). Just a perfect kid that found herself part of this imperfect world of pain and suffering. Let me tell you my story Some details are known, some are assumed but one things for sure - I am lucky to be alive. Based on my injuries, I was hit by a car over 1 month ago. Considering my completely starved frame, I have been fending for myself since that devastating event. Simply bones and unable to walk on my rear right leg, I was taken into the shelter and of course deemed un-adoptable. The wonderful folks at Missouri German Shepherd Rescue (MOGS) saw me and instantly went into action to get me safe and West. They even found a wonderful man through Pilots for Paws to fly me out to Denver so I could get care that was so long overdue. Now my story continuesthe wounds that once covered my body have healed with time however the amount of injury that I suffered is evident from the new hair growth that covers about 40% of my body. To think that I fended for myself all this time in just so much pain makes my foster mommy cry. I kiss her tears as we cuddle on the couch. I was taken to see Dr. Broad at Deer Creek Animal Hospital and upon reviewing my x-rays he could see that my hip had been fractured. So much time has passed that I have lost about 50% of my muscle mass in my right rear leg and need surgery to repair my hip. This stumbling block on my way to Happily-Ever-After means a Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO) will be performed on July 30th. They tell me I will feel a lot better after the surgery, but I am still scared. My foster mom promises to be by my side not like my previous owners and you know, I believe her. The surgery is really, really expensive and I worry how SCSR will find the money while needing to care for so many others. So I am sharing my story with you in hopes that you will help. Would you please consider donating to my care? My friends at SCSR could really use your help and need to raise around $1,500. I promise that I am so worth it!! I will keep you posted on my recovery as I have a lot of healing and food to eat in the next few months. While my history is a sad one, I am a survivor and my future is bright. I just know that I will blossom into the lovely princess that my foster mom already says I am. And when ready, I will need a family worthy of a princesswill that be you? Can you wait for me? Keep watching the website as I write the happy ending to my story! Maybe youll be part of it. (Mette: German Shepherd, Female, White, 40 lbs. and gaining, DOB ~02/08) METTE UPDATE: Thought it was about time for update on my journeyI have been very busy with my recovery and physical therapy so I have been a little behind forgiveness please! I had surgery back in July, but my recovery was not going well. Upon further examination, the vet could see a bone spur had developed and was likely impeding my return to 110%. So I went back into surgery on September 8th and with great results! I am already putting weight on my leg something I wasnt doing before. The future looks bright and I know I will be running without pain soon. Now all I am missing is a family to share this amazing new chance at life with! Perhaps thats youthink you have place in your heart for someone as special as me? I cant wait to be spoiled rotten by you apply today! Please consider a donation to Mettes care. These tough economic times have taken a toll on all of us, but especially on homeless pets the voiceless victims. We need your support to make Mettes recovery possible. To see her well, to see her run without pain, to see joy erase all memories of her suffering. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.
