update 12/30/09 -
Pixie is fully recovered and the perfect
little girl so says her foster mom. She gets along great
with the other dogs in the house and basically ignores
the cat. Pixie is unsure with small children and would
do best in a home with older kids or ones that have been
taught how to approach and interact with dogs. Pixie
knows how to use the doggy door and has not had an
accident in her foster home. She is full of energy and
is looking for a forever home that will love her just as
much as she will love them.
UPDATE 11/30/09: We received WONDERFUL
news from Dr. Talbot at Tropicana Animal Hospital. The
cancer is benign and she removed all of it. Pixie is on her
way to a full recovery and a happy life. Thank you to
everyone that has come to our website to see Pixie and read
her story, and especially for the kind donations. You can
continue to check on Pixie as she recovers we will update
her information, and all money you donate will go directly
to pay off Pixie's medical bills. PIXIE NEEDS YOUR HELP!
Someone dumped Pixie in a park and drove away.
Fortunately a caring family picked her up and took care of her
until she came into rescue. Rescue immediately took her to the
vet as she was not spayed, micro-chipped or up to date on shots.
The sad news is that Pixie has cancer of her mammary glands and
needed immediate surgery. This grotesque tumor has been growing
for sometime and was ignored by her owner. If caught early she
could have lived a long life, however now we are not so sure.
Pixie NEVER would have had this aggressive cancer is she had
been spayed. Dr. Joan Talbot of Tropicana Animal Hospital performed surgery on Pixie Wednesday to remove the growth and
send to lab for diagnosis. Pixie is a tiny little girl and the
incision to remove the tumor is huge, so there is fear that it
may come open. Now Pixie is resting in her foster home under the
careful & loving supervision of Darlene Kearley and family.
This is where Pixie needs your help...her operation and
continuing care is expensive and we ask that if you are able to
please make a donation to Pixie's medical bills. You can do this
by sending a check to:
LVHDDCR c/o Leilani Ehlers Or you can also make a donation through paypal using the button under Pixie's pictures. Please let us know that your donation is for Pixie. We all know that money is tight especially this time of year, but please let us show Pixie that where her owner walked away to let her die, we will walk in and help her to live. Thank you from Pixie! |
