RESCUE STORY:  DAHLIA THE DOORKNOCKER

8/15/2022

Comments

 
While we cannot rescue every cat and dog, we do our best to make a positive, life changing difference to the pets that come into our care.  This is Dahlia's story. 

Picture

In July 2022,  a month and half ago,  we rescued a 4-year old Pit with beautiful brindle markings. 

One day, this dog woke up and discovered she was no longer welcome in her previous home.

All of a sudden, this former pet found herself tossed out on the curb, left to fend for herself.

She was now homeless.  



People in a Midland neighborhood say they've observed this dog wandering around the area for two and a half weeks.  She's been going house to house, begging for food and kindness wherever she can get it. 

You can imagine she was probably feeling lost, confused, and scared, wondering what she had done to be disregarded like a pair of old boots. 

Thankfully, some kind folks decided to help out.  They reached out to MHC for assistance.

We named her Dahlia.
Dahlia was so thankful to be off the streets and in the care of humans again. We tried to find her previous owners, but had no luck. 

We started the vetting process so Dahlia can find a new home soon - vaccinations, microchipping, and surgery. 

Everything was going well. Until the last and very crucial step : the Spay Surgery. In her past life,  it seemed Dahlia had already had puppies. 

Before she could be put up for adoption, she would need to be spayed.  (All MHC rescues are spayed and neutered to prevent further reproduction as there are already too many homeless pets in Midland.) 

An Unexpected Life-Threatening Emergency 
When Dahlia came back to MHC, she did not seem to be herself. There seemed to be some complications that arose from her surgery. We immediately brought her over to the emergency hospital so she can be treated.

She spent a few days there so they can closely monitor her condition and aid in her recovery. 

Had we not done that, Dahlia probably would have passed. 

Thanks to our quick-thinking and fast-acting staff, Dahlia received the emergency care that she needed in time.  She is now on the road to recovery.

Soon, Dahlia will be available for adoption.

DONATE FOR DAHLIA
​
Sometimes with great vet care, comes great vet bills. We never know what to expect with each pet we rescue. 

Dahlia's vet care ran us up a hefty sum:  $5,382.51

Thankfully, we had resources to get her this crucial emergency care. 

Please donate so that we can replenish our pet vet funds and be ready and available to help out the next pet in need!
