Hollie's Story

Hollie was born about February 16, 2005....yes 2005! and weighs about 8 pounds.<br/><br/>Another email begging for help from an overcrowded Southern shelter. This time it's a tiny dog that has lived a horrible life for 19 years and then gets dumped at the shelter with her eyes matted shut. The only vet care Hollie had was in 2014 when she was taken to a vet with a 'Fetal membrane hanging from the vagina' The Southern shelter does the very best they can and got her cleaned up and worked hard to get her out. We know if we don't step up she will be euthanized never knowing love, happiness, and comfort. So we agree to take her in. Hollie has been in foster for a few weeks and is enjoying the feeling of safety and comfort. She makes little gremlin noises when she feels like being held. At first, she was only comfortable being held for a few minutes at a time but now she settles in her favorite human's lap for however long that human is sitting. Hollie's sight is limited to shadows and she can not hear. Hollie can walk or should we say sashay? Hollies left front leg works at odd angles and we have to assume it was broken at one point in her life and healed as is. Her eyes require several drops a day but they no longer cause her pain. So that's the story of Hollie. She will stay in her foster home as a hospice case but at least we can sleep easier knowing this almost 20-year-old dog will have known peace and love before she crosses the bridge.<br/><br/>The Adoption Fee for this dog is N/A<br/>Adoptions fees vary based on adoptability. In general our fees include spay/neuter, all age appropriate vaccines, Home Again micro-chipping & registration, worming & flea control - a 'complete' pet.
