Theodora “Gift from God”
I just received the call, The call I had been dreading since the moment we rescued her! It is never a good sign when the doctors call you after hours!
Everyone knows this feeling, the feeling when you know what is about to come out is BAD NEWS! The doctor said let me start with the good news, Dickens is doing amazing, I was thrilled and even smiled a little, then I paused and said, “What is the bad news”. She updated saying Theodora was holding on but struggling and that she determined some cause of what might have caused this .... I stopped her before she could continue and asked, what are her chances and she said she has made a little progress but she is in rough shape as we already knew !!!!
Some time went by and I saw their call and I answered and I just knew it was NOT the news I wanted to hear. It is as if you can hear it in the breathing! She said Patti I know you and DogRRR will always stand by your dogs and we did everything we could but we lost her. She died on her own, we do not feel she suffered as she still laid in the semi coma! I paused for a moment, that moment of silence felt like a life time went by....
I asked what happened, although I knew she just could not fight, her body was tired and she set herself free! She left this earth knowing nothing but pain, she left this life broken and failed by her family that had her since she was a puppy!
This could of been prevented if this family would of taken her to the vet and treated her for her illness, they failed to do that, they failed to provide her with the medical care that could of saved her life!
Her family carried her lifeless body in a crate to the shelter then they pulled her lifeless body out and said we would like her euthanized! They did not give her name just that she had not eaten for a few days! A few days !!!!! WTH SERIOUSLY she is a Skelton this took weeks to get this way if they truly loved her and cared for her they would of either taken her to the vet to be humanely euthanized or they would have had her treated.
After many test and research they believe she had Diabetes and it went untreated and this is the result of the neglect.
You can not turn a blind eye it is unacceptable, they failed her! Her family let her down!
Her body condition was zero, she was dirty as if she was laying in the dirt. He nails were super long and they needed cut, she has puncture wounds on her legs as if something had tried to attack her but she was to weak to fight back! I cannot even imagine the HELL she was in!
I can not imagine how she felt the last few days left outside in this cold weather, did she have cover to protect her from the rain and cold?🥶
Theodora this is NOT over I am making you a promise I will be your voice! DogRRR Nation will be your voice! We will fight for charges to be filed, you death with not be in vain! YOUR LIFE MATTERED! Your family failed you all they needed to do is take you to the vet and run a few tests and get the medical care you needed! They DID NOT! They choose to watch you disintegrate in front of their eyes!
I was asked by several people, “Do you think this will discourage others from bringing their pet into the shelter to get the care they need? Will they dump them in fear of charges? The people who do this to their animals do NOT follow the rescues pages or they would realize there is help!
DogRRR this is NOT over and We will need your help! I have emailed the investigator and the detective to investigate this case ! I will email everyday and I will flood the city with Theodora’s Story and her pictures!
There are some that feel if we do this it will stop others from bringing their animals in due to fear of charges! How will things change? How will Animal Cruelty stop if we continue to ignore the issues and turn a blind in hopes that it might change!
Thank you to DOGRRR NATION for donating, thank you for supporting Theodora and thank you for all of the kind words this is NOT over and we need your help!
This picture will be embedded into my brain forever! How is this acceptable?
DO NOT FORGET! She deserves JUSTICE!
