SENIOR Daisy needs help, please read her story...

THIS IS DAISY. SHE IS 14-YEARS OLD AND HAS BEEN NEGLECTED FOR A VERY LONG TIME LIVING WITH HER ALCOHOLIC GUARDIAN. WHEN SHE PASSED AWAY, DAISY WAS LEFT ALONE WITH NO ONE TO CARE FOR HER...except some amazing folks who took her under their wing...

Daisy was filthy, flea-infested, her rear end was stained from sitting in her own pee. She has weak back legs and had a cough.

Daisy's nails were so long, she couldn't put her paws flat to the ground: very painful for a senior dog like Daisy with arthritis.

THIS IS DAISY NOW!

It took a long time to groom Daisy but she was as good as gold on the table, in the tub and with the hairdryer.

The cleaned-up Daisy seems like a new dog. Freed from all that dirt and matted hair, she walked around,albeit slowly, sniffed, and was curious about everything.

DAISY ISN'T OUT OF THE WOODS YET! HER PLIGHT HAS TOUCHED A LOT OF PEOPLE. BUT SO FAR, SHE HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIND A HOME.

SHE HAS BEEN MOVING AROUND FROM PLACE TO PLACE, WHICH IS VERY DISTRESSING FOR A VERY SENIOR DOG USED TO BEING WITH ONE PERSON, HOWEVER NEGLECTFUL THAT PERSON MAY HAVE BEEN.

DAISY IS AN OLD GAL AND HAS MULTIPLE MEDICAL NEEDS. SHE IS BEING TREATED BY A VET BUT THEY DEMANDED FULL PAYMENT OF HER $2,500 BILL IN ORDER TO RELEASE HER.

Kathy Parsons of Southland Sheltie Rescue stepped up and fronted the money or Daisy would have been stuck at the vet's office, which would have increased the bill. However, Kathy's generous action pushed her group into debt.
