REMMI - a Rescue with a Happy Ending..

When Remmi was touched, she trembled, so scared as to where she was going, and she what would have to face. But she seemed to sense something was different this time. It was caring and kind hands she was placed in, however she was not able to bring herself to trust or even hope she would have a better life.

"Our Save a Yorkie Rescue volunteer immediately got her the veterinary care. Upon examination of the tiny pup, we learned she is emaciated, anemic and suffering from ear infections, dehydration, in advanced stages of dental disease, terrible skin issues from undernourishment, covered in feces but was far worse was the condition her eyes were in. When diagnosed at the shelter she was thought to be blind, however on further and more intensive inspection it was discovered that Remmi was suffering for years of chronic dry eye syndrome compound from the dehydration.

The good news is with treatment and medication the vet believes her eyesight can be saved. The vet let us know Remmi weighs just 7lbs. and is at least 2lbs. underweight. She was given treatment, medications, fluids, blood testing, and nutritional supplements to improve her conditions.

Yesterday we received positive news. Remmi's blood work was showing signs of improvement which needless to say we were all grateful for. Our volunteer reports Remmi is sleeping quite a bit but, considering all she has been through this is normal. She has begun to both eat and drink. We are hoping with proper diet and nutrition her skin, coat and blood count will continue to improve over time. We hope with lots of TLC we will see signs of her personality to emerge from her shell.

This just goes to show you the work that is done here at Save a Yorkie Rescue. When a sick and broken dog is in need, we reach out to help. We take many critically sick and severely injured dogs that never would have a chance of survival without the help and support of Save a Yorkie Rescue to provide them with the lifesaving medical care and surgeries needed to save the lives of these beautiful dogs. Remmi will have a second chance to live a happy and healthy life in a loving home with great pet parents and we are happy to be the ones to give her that chance.

If you would like to make a donation for Remmi care, please visit our website www.saveayorkierescue.org click on the donate button or send a check to Save a Yorkie Rescue 526 N. St. Cloud St. #602, Allentown, Pa.18104"

HWAH provided a $ 1,000 grant towards the medical and vet expenses.

Thanks to YOUR generosity, our HWAH K-9 & Kitty Medical Miracles Fund was able to help Remmi get the medical care she desperately needed before she passed in the arms of her rescue family.

Adorable precious sweet heart...💗

We want to introduce you to our K9 and Kitties Medical Miracles program.

Several years ago we embarked on a new way to help Senior and Special needs dogs and cats. We partner with local Rescue Groups who pull a senior or special needs dog or cat from a shelter, and then HWAH provides a grant for the necessary medical care to make that dog or cat ready for their new forever home. These pets often need extensive medical care to prepare them for adoption or foster care.

This program is so important to our mission to help save as many senior dogs and cats abandoned in shelters as we can. These animals are often overlooked because of their age and health issues. Our Rescue Partners are other senior dog and cat lovers who know that these animals have so much more love to give!

We now work with Rescue Partner Groups nationwide, and we’ll continue to increase our partnerships so we can save even more dogs and cats that need medical care in order to find new homes.

In addition, we’ve established a program with United Charitable (a nonprofit specializing in charitable fund administration) to assist us in processing applications and to help ensure that our medical care grants will be available for years to come.

Each Monday we share a story of a Medical Miracle Grant that has helped to save another Senior or Special Needs animal. This week we are going to share two of our most recent grants during the week.
