Hello
my name is Lilly Mae and I find myself in need of your kindness and
generosity. I am just 5yrs old but in those 5 short years I have been
shuffled from home to home. I am a good girl but sometimes life is just
not fair, I want to find that forever home where my family will never
give me up again. I have a problem that I hope you can see it in your
heart to help me with here is my story. Awhile
back my human was caring me outside to go potty when suddenly I was
spooked and I leaped from his arms. When I landed on the ground I broke
my front leg, the break was very very severe for a little leg like
mine.My family rushed me to the vet and after hours of surgery my leg
was fixed or so we thought. My leg re broke but my family was unable to
pay for the second surgery, the first had drained all of their savings.
So the vet said the only course of action would be to remove my leg. My
family said NO! They started searching for help and the only solution
was to give me up to a rescue where my leg could be saved. She
has found a wonderful vet to do my surgery, Dr. Sykes from Animal House
on Dover Road, that is one item we can mark off our list of many. Dr.
Sykes has given us a huge discount! My surgery will cost between
$800-$900 that is a BIG drop from $1500.00 it would have cost normally. I
appreciate Dr. Sykes's discount and Ms. Inge had to cashed in all of
her saved up favors as well to help with the discount. Dr. Sykes will
also spay me after he repairs my leg so I never have worry again. And
here is where you come in! UPDATE:
11-18-2011 Lilly-Mae's fractured bone are not healing properly, ( She
had several X-Ray done over the last weeks ) so the vet told us that her
leg needs to be amputated. UPDATE: 11-23-2011. Lilly Mae had another surgery. Dr. Sykes amputated her leg today up to her shoulder. Here is how you donate
My
family made that hard decision to give me up and life now finds me in
the care of a wonderful lady. Her name is Inge Irby she runs the
Second Chance and Happy Tails Rescue in Tennessee. I am safe and loved
here, it feels good but I am allot of pain from my broken leg. Ms Inge,
is an true angel! She is working night and day trying to raise the
funds to save my leg. She is doing all she can, but we are faltering in
our efforts.
I would greatly appreciate any help
you can give me and Ms. Inge, with your help we can save my leg. I hope
you can find it in your hearts to help me. Please donate even if it is
$1, that will help more than you can imagine. If you cannot donate
please spread my story far and wide, send it in emails to your
friends,or rescue contacts and post it on FaceBook. I know with yours,
Inge and Dr. Sykes help I can have the life I have dreamed of, one where
I have a healthy leg and an forever loving home.

"On Saturday the 13 of June 09 we got a call from the 911 Dispatch-Center about a dog needing rescue.The dog was found tied to a rock near the river on the bluff of Mayhew Rd. Sheriff and the Montgomery County Rescue Squad where on site to help the poor little dog who was obviously scared and in danger of drowning.
He got a ride back to the Montgomery County Rescue Station at "1 Providence Boulevard", where I picked him up. The dog was given the name " River" since this was where he was found. He is a very loving Little Boston Terrier Mix about 1 Yr. old.
The following article is from the local paper under Crime Watch !!! "An abandoned dog left on the river bluff on Mayhew Road was rescued by emergency workers Saturday evening."
According to a Montgomery County incident report, a couple who was fishing found a dog tied to a rock in the 100 block of Mayhew Road.
The couple untied the dog, which was too scared to leave.
Second Chance and Happy Tails picked the dog up after its rescue..
UPDATE: Hello my name is Bogie and I came from West Memphis Tn Animal Shelter where my owner did not want me anymore. I was rescued by a wonderful rescue called Second Chance and Happy Tails. The owner of the rescue is named Inge. She took me to the vet where I was diagnosed with a heart condition and that was a death sentence. Inge took good care of me until I needed to be moved to a new foster home, because some mean men made running a rescue hard on Inge. So I was transferred to Boston Terrier Rescue of East TN, a foster home called The Sanctuary. I got to fly down on an airplane. Little did I know meeting the airport manager would lead to my new home, but I am getting ahead of myself. The nice pilot's name was Jim Carney, it was a blast flying.
I met a nice man at the airport named Bob, when I got home Momma Marlana posted a picture of me on FaceBook where Bob's wife Saundra saw me. She and Momma Marlana started talking. She told Momma Marlana she would love to adopt me. Well Momma Marlana took me to the vet, a cool dude named Doc Tim. He told Momma my heart condition was a lot worse than was previously thought. He told me I maybe have only 1 year, but you never know the will of God. So I just thought I would live out my days here with the other dogs at The Sanctuary. Well little did I know someone loved me already, Ms Saundra.
Well today Momma took me and my brothers on a car ride to see Ms Saundra and Mr. Bob!!! GUESS WHAT? I got to meet the entire family, and a cute girl Boston named Candy. Boy she is sweet. After meeting them I come to realize I love them, I want them to adopt me. I want to be a member of the Spera family. Well Ms. Saundra and Momma Marlana took me to the airport to see Mr. Bob. Well I love the airport, and going there sealed the deal. I've been adopted! I am going to my new home on Sunday!!!!!!
I am now going to be called Bogie Spera and I will live in West Virginia and work at the Lonesome Pine Regional Airport. I am saved, I am adopted, I am loved.
