Adopt Didi, a foster dog in Greenwich. Didi was rushed by her owner to an emergency clinic after she was attacked by another dog in the household, while nursing her newborn puppies. She needed immediate medical attention, but when the owner found out how much care she needed, he surrendered her to the vet to be euthanized.
Her coat was badly matted and she smelled of urine and feces. She had to be shaved to the skin to see what sort of injuries she had sustained. Veterinary personnel reached out to Cat Assistance, Inc. and they agreed to cover her medical expenses. After a week of medical care, she was released to a foster home in Greenwich, where she is doing great.
She’s a wonderful little four year old dog that rescue owner Sarah Hart says she is “lucky to be able to help” — but she is asking friends and supporters to assist with her medical bills.
