3-20-08 Animal Control was called to pick up a stray
dog at a local tire shop. She was said to have been hit by a
car. When Justice was brought to the shelter she was badly
injured with a huge gash all across her rump and was in tremendous
pain.
Instead of Animal Control taking her to the Vet's
office she had to wait for 72 hours in a kennel with just concrete
to comfort her wound. They did put her on pain meds but that was it.
After her 3 days and nights of misery, rescue was called in,
whereupon we took her immediately to the vet's office.
When we arrived the vets said that it had been
too long to be able to stitch her gash back together. But luckily
for her, the vet did just that, and indeed was able to sew her hind
end back together. After a few days at the Vet’s, she has
now come to her foster home.
 Upon
her arrival, we were outdoors getting some much needed fresh air
when her foster mom noticed something ..... she was covered in
scars. In just the one area that had been shaved for the stitches,
she has more than 20 old scars. And looking closer we realized
that she had a huge scar all the way around her neck and another
large one behind her ear.
At 5 or 6 years old, this poor girl has not had
that best life. Despite being told by animal control that she was a
stray, we suspect that she was an abused shop dog. Her coat and skin
were covered in oil and she just smells like a working tire shop. At
this time Justice knows very much that she is loved and is very
comfortable in her foster home. She is clean and healthy now.
She loves getting attention and laying her head in your lap. She
does not, however, like loud noises or raised voices as she most
likely has suffered beatings in her past.
Justice is safe and happy now.

Basha
was found on Mt Charleston in mid January of 2008 by a wonderful
lady who helps dogs that have been abandoned on the mountain. Like
ffar too many dogs, Basha had simply been dumped to fend for
herself- left there to survive on her own. Left to starve. She
had been unsuccessful at foraging for scraps to eat for about 6 or 7
weeks and was emaciated - just a bag of skin and bones.
