🚨 PENNY SCHEDULED FOR EUTHANASIA 07/15 @ 2PM 🚨
How does a dog go from needing urgent medical care to being scheduled for euthanasia just days later?
Penny entered the shelter as a stray, but it is heartbreaking to think that this senior girl was likely brought in by the very person who should have been protecting her.
Penny arrived with one eye already missing. Her remaining eye was in such poor condition that the shelter veterinarian determined it needed to be removed.
An invasive enucleation surgery was performed to remove her second eye.
Now this 10 year old Maltese girl is completely blind, recovering from surgery, and sitting in a tiny hospital kennel.
Think about what this little girl has been through.
She lost one eye. She lost her remaining eye. She went through surgery and the pain of recovery. And after all of that, she is now facing the loss of her life.
Penny came into the shelter needing compassion, comfort, and care. Instead, she is running out of time.
She is a senior girl who deserves a soft place to land, someone who will guide her through the world without sight, and someone who will show her that she is still loved.
Why are we allowing dogs to go through something as serious as eye removal surgery, only to be scheduled for euthanasia shortly after?
Hasn’t Penny suffered enough?
Please share Penny. She needs a rescue, foster, or adopter before it is too late.
