When it rains it pours


Its not been a great start to the week. I now have 3 dogs that are in urgent need of rescue. And WCRR really has no where to put them.

the first is a sweet YOUNG girl about to lose her life because she has become incontinent. Here is the email. If you can help please let us know. Onyx is far too young to be destroyed. Onyx is the dog in the background


My name is Ashley, and I need some help. I have a friend who has a Berner X (looks like a Berner x Rotti) and she needs help fast, if its possible. Here is a bit about her:Her name is Onyx she is under 2yrs old, she is the sweetest girl ever! The sad part is she was hit by a car under a year ago, it cost over $1000 in vet bills and problems with some vets who didn't want to help unless they had the money asap and just wanted to put her down. This hit had left her paralyzed from the waist down. She had no control of her back legs and had to drag her herself around to move. But now she is fully able to walk and run, but she doesn't always have the coordination and trips over her own legs every once in a while. The other sad and extremely hard part is that with the hit also did some nerve damage and she is incontinent, she is showing more progress with getting better she knows when she's going and moves to go but if she's excited and she's running some times she leaks some pee out. The new vet said this can take up to 18 months to fully heal. So now she is and has been outside the whole time as an outside dog, so she's use to it. Another problem with that is that with all the hair and her leaking that it would hold the urine and now she has an infection.
