DOLLY IS AT REST
DRT pulled Dolly from the shelter on the day she was due to die. She was an elderly Dobe with numerous health problems – but DRT does not pick and choose. She deserved a chance to live and to be loved. And goodness did she show her worth. Every volunteer was delighted with her kindness, her gentle spirit, her youthful attitude, her affectionate nature and her appreciation for every bit of love shown to her. Everyone was pulling so hard for her. But years of lack of care, and possibly even abuse, proved to be more than even DRT and NC State Veterinary School’s determined efforts could overcome. The time came when we could tell that she was ready for the suffering to end, and DRT stayed beside her as she passed. She left knowing she was loved. We thank everyone who helped give her this chance – to the volunteers and to the donors who helped with her medical care (which we are still paying for).
Maybe give your Dobe an extra hug today.
