An update on Starr, the abandoned German Shepherd found with her muzzle taped shut near Brewster, NY: She is doing wonderfully at our sister hospital, and we couldn't be happier with her progress!

⭐ LET STARR SHINE: An Update on Starr ⭐

Many of you have seen the heartbreaking story of the young German Shepherd found near Starr Ridge Road in Southeast, New York, with her muzzle tightly wrapped in electrical tape.

Today, we can introduce you to her as Starr. ❤️

Starr was found by a Good Samaritan who removed the tape and immediately brought her to Brewster Veterinary Hospital for medical care.
When Starr arrived, she had significant swelling and injuries to her muzzle and mouth, including broken teeth and damage to the tissue surrounding her mouth. She also had abrasions around her collar area and scarring on her ear.
Our veterinary team performed a sedated examination, cleaned and treated her wounds, and began managing her immediate medical needs. Starr is now being given time for the swelling to subside before the next stage of her treatment. She is expected to require additional dental care, including extractions, as well as reconstructive surgery.

And yet, through everything Starr has experienced, what has stood out most to those caring for her is her incredibly sweet and trusting personality. She continues to seek affection, lean into the people caring for her and remind us just how resilient animals can be.

We are working closely with the Putnam County SPCA, whose Law Enforcement Division continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding Starr's case. To protect the integrity of that investigation, we will not speculate or provide additional details regarding the circumstances in which she was found.
Right now, our focus is where it belongs: on Starr and her recovery.

We are also incredibly grateful to Hill's Pet Nutrition, which has generously stepped forward to provide Starr's food during her recovery.

As Starr prepares for the medical care still ahead, we have established the Let Starr Shine campaign to help offset the costs of her treatment, dental care, reconstructive surgery and continued recovery.

We are incredibly thankful to the Good Samaritan who stopped to help Starr, the Putnam County SPCA, everyone involved in her care, Hill's Pet Nutrition, and the countless members of our community who have reached out asking how they can help.

Starr's story began under heartbreaking circumstances.
Together, we can help make sure that's not where her story ends.

⭐ Let's help Starr heal. Let's help Starr shine. ⭐

Thank you so much for the kind review, Raymond! We know how crucial every minute can be, especially with a whole crew of four tiny kittens! Thank you for the incredible work you do as a foster parent. Caring for those little ones is such a big job, and it was a total joy for our team to step in and help.
