Roxy1 Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Most will remember Sakari's story, however , there are a lot of new members since then, so I'll start from the beginning. Sakari was found, chained to a pole and left to die in a condition that was already in "shut Down" mode. She was 28 lbs when AC picked her up, 31 lbs when we got her. (they had her for 2 weeks) Her systems were failing, losing fur due to a developed allergy as her immune system was shutting down. A lot of this we learned as we went and tried to figure out what was going on. She could not digest food as her body was no longer manufacturing the enzymes needed to digest. So she is still on meds for that. She also is still on meds for the allergies. She also had a tumor that had to be removed and we are still watching to make sure we know if it starts to grow back. She has the absolute sweetest temperament I've ever seen in an abused dog. That is saying something as I see and work with many as all the dogs that come through our rescue have some sort of problem and many have been abused. Anyway- she is doing great now and we still keep our paws crossed that the allergy continues to stay under control. (not so pretty without fur) Here are some pics of when we got her to now. Oh, I can't tell you how bonded she is with our other 2 -like it was meant to be. I think we might keep her. Forgot to mention, she is now up to 54lbs - gain of 23 lbs. in 4 mos. not the fastest, but she's pluggin along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirbysowner Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 happy to see she is doing fantastic. I've been wondering what happened to her. cant say how sad her story makes me, and i hope she has a wonderful life in the time she has left. I think that's what you call a fighter.

Biggles Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 The before and after pictures are amazing. It's hard to believe that this is the same dog 4 months on. Let's hope and pray her tumour doesn't come back and she continues going from strength to strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed #5 Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 No dog should ever look like she did! You've done a great job in giving her back what she should have had in the first place - love and companionship! I really like to see the dogs just lazing around like that, comfortable and laid back. Couldn't say more about how content they are!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roxy1 Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Thanks ALL for you comments- she has done great- No dog should ever look like she did! You've done a great job in giving her back what she should have had in the first place - love and companionship! I really like to see the dogs just lazing around like that, comfortable and laid back. Couldn't say more about how content they are!! Thats all she needed - and a routine - They are most comfortable just knowing they have a routine, so they know what to do.

jnetser Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 What a beautiful girl. I can understand why you wouldn't want to give her up after all you have been through. It is so wonderful that she has bonded with your other two. She is quite lucky she crossed paths with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sutsibe Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 @sutsibe- incase the thread got buried Hope you doing OK Gigi It did - but your more recent post brought it back up! The tag didn't work - the dash right after 'sutsibe' threw it off, by the way... Thanks for trying to make sure I saw it, anyway - been working the last 2 days and in class last night, so haven't been on much... She looks fantastic - great job! :wow2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
