so had Struvite bladder stones removed during her spay surgery. A special diet is required for my lifetime and if this is adhered then there should never be another bladder stone surgery required. The requirement of a special diet for the remainder of my life in order to prevent me from getting bladder stones again is most important yet this special food is no more expensive than a good ingredient diet. It would be best if I had filtered water to drink too. I am Heart-worm negative and was placed with my foster parents who have evaluated me for a minimum of 2 weeks. I was timid and fearful in the shelter yet once I was freed and sent to a loving foster home my true personality began to shine through. Now I am a real lover! I am petite and so feminine -- just look at my pink bow! I am house-broken, walk well on a leash and am going to be someone's little baby-doll! I love to cuddle and will be a great addition to a loving adoptive parent! My best placement will be with someone who has lots of time to devote to me and I will return that devotion with love in abundance. You will be amazed at the joy I will bring to your life! When Leah went to an SRC vet for a follow up visit, our vet confirmed that she does have a cataract in one eye. They also said that she has no injury from the notation of being hit by a vehicle plus she has only a Grade 2 need for a dental. The cataract in only one eye does not inhibit Leah getting around; and since, SRC cannot commit to cataract surgery unless the funds are readily available this surgery has not been scheduled at this time. Our first priority for cataract surgery is usually for those dogs that have cataracts in both eyes and are almost totally blind. (Hunter, SRC#1852 is currently receiving cataract surgery due to this issue. Funds were raised prior to scheduling his surgery.) Leah's foster mom set up a Go-Fund-Me page to help pay for cataract surgery on the one eye that she has with a cataract; yet currently, enough money has not been raised to pay for this surgery. SRC will provide her adoptive family with a tax letter for their expenditures paid should they decide that they want to get surgery done on that one eye within 12 months of her adoption. In addition, any money generated by that Go-Fund-Me page will be given directly to the specialist for Leah's surgery on that eye that has a cataract. If the entire amount is raised prior to her adoption ($1500) then SRC will go forward with her surgery prior to adoption however we think it is more important to place Leah in a loving adoptive home as quickly as possible so that she does not remain in limbo and can go ahead and bond with her permanent family. SRC#1865 LEAH's Story LEAH with this unique identification number: (SRC#1862) came into our custody and care when a volunteer found her at a high kill facility and just could not let her perish. They gave us a call and asked if we would help once again and of course we could not refuse. This poor little Schnauzer girl had already been through so much! She was found as a stray who had been hit by a vehicle -- the shelter treated her for that injury and she did ok but then she began to show other problems. She was urinating constantly and showing all the signs of serious bladder stone issues and surgery was required -- she had Struvite stones removed and then she was placed on special food to keep them from recurring. This little girl has a lot of love to give and thus far it has apparently not had anyone willing to receive it. Such a shame when one so loving has no one to love them in return. Many of us know that feeling so this would be the perfect adoption for us! Now that she is vetted Leah will be prepared for adoption by a foster family who has gone thru our approval process. Then all she will need is someone to love her as much as she is willing to love them! Is that person you? If so why not apply for her adoption right away? You might need her just as much as she needs you and what a great match that would make! Now ready for adoption this dog is heart-worm tested (negative), de-wormed, vaccinations brought up to date, spayed and bladder stones removed, micro-chipped, examined fully by a vet and any necessary medical issues found by this vet have been addressed. Leah was examined to assure there was no residual injury from being hit by a vehicle prior to coming to SRC plus a cataract was discovered (discussed above). We had our vet check her out and she is borderline on her need for a dental which was determined to be a Grade 2 -- SRC does above Grade 3 and 4 only due to the expense involved. It is anticipated that this dog will be released for adoption by the same date as the completion of the Evaluation. The date of release is left to the discretion of the SRC Core Team.
