Calypso ~ aka Callie was covered in ticks and malnourished, in fact emaciated. She was dumped and barely surviving with her pups in a junk yard with 30-40 feral dogs. She is so very sweet and gentle. She has had a very rough life and seems so grateful and appreciative of any kindness and comfort she gets. She is heart worm positive and will be treated asap. I need to build her up and let her gain some weight first. When I got her she didn't know how to walk on a leash and was very insecure coming inside and walking on floors. Clearly had not done that before.
Calypso now loves coming in the house and enjoys the comfort of her crate with a fluffy quilt to lay on. She takes treats very gently and wants to please. She lays on a dog bed and acts like she is afraid to do anything that might get her in trouble, but is getting more relaxed every day and now just looks at the other dogs showing no sign of aggression to them. I think she has great potential to be rehabbed into a wonderful companion. You can see the joy in her in just having a safe comfortable place to lie down.
Callie is spayed, current on shots and micro chipped. It will be a while before she is well enough to be adopted, as needs that HW treatment. That will give time to build up her confidence and get her use to living the good life.
This is a big thing, this is an expensive series of treatments. Can you help, of course you can! Any amount will help. Please send your donation in check or money order form (no cash please) to:
