| | Tally has been in hospice care since February 2008. As a 2 year old red dobie girl, Tally was one of ten dogs which were seized by authorities from a backyard breeder in West Virginia for neglect and cruelty.

Things were finally looking up for her until ……. The first night Shadow was in her new foster home, the foster mom just happen to notice that there was a lot of blood in her urine and rushed her to the Emergency Vet. After running some tests, we found out she was a very sick little girl. Her red blood cell count was low, her white count was high and it wasn’t blood in her urine. It was hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the protein molecule in red blood cells that help carry oxygen. Read More..... | | | |
