This adorable little toy poodle was no longer wanted by her owners and left at the dog shelter. She was heart broken and did not understand what was happening to her. Her health began to fail, she became lethargic and nearly died. When we picked her up she spent three days at the vets on IV fluids. It was touch and go. She simply was not responding well. We made the decision to bring her home. Once she realized we loved her, slowly her little heart began to mend and she eventually healed. Even our vets said she had a broken heart. The P.E.A.R.L.S. program is for animals like this. We care for them for their lifetimes or until they are adopted. It's expensive. The senior dogs usually have health issues that require dentals, EKG's, ultrasounds and most are on heart medicines for the rest of their lives.
