The same story as so many rescues…
Jasmine was chained to the front porch with a back leg that she could not stand on. She was thin, half starved and outside all the time. We convinced the owner to surrender her to us. After Lawson Vet service checked the back leg we discovered it was broken. Originally we thought she had been hit by a car but now the Vet Specialist in St. Louis believes the damage was caused by being hit with a blunt object. Perhaps they even beat her …. We don’t know…
The first operation was tricky and Jasmine came down with an infection in the bone. The first operation was $1,000 and we thought that would be the total expense. Wrong!!! The second operation to clean out the infection and take out the pin was double the first surgery.
We did not budget for the second medical treatment. If anyone can help us get over this bump we would be grateful.
We are at a fundable, Save Jasmines Leg

We could use the help. Just like every other rescue we have been full for months and every morning we have another dog, puppies or kittens tied to our front gate. Jasmines photo is on our web under the Petfinder link….. www.caretakersnetwork.org
The only good thing I can say about 2008 is that it is GONE! Lets hope that 2009 will be better for all of us.
If you can cross post we would be grateful. Thanks, Carole Pitzer
