I read this story about Pearl tonight. Sometimes these stories get you deep in your heart and you want to do more. This was one of those for me....
Pearl will never be adopted and needs sponsorship. I simply cannot afford to sponsor her alone, but I then I had an idea. What if we all pitched in together and sponsored her? The members at English Bulldog News?
Let me know what you think. It may be just a few dollars a month if most of us chip in. What do you think?
Pearl's Story
by SoCal BulldogRescue on Saturday, December 18, 2010 at 11:09pm
Pearl (aka Hula Girl) came into Rescue from the animal shelter in January 2009. They estimated she was 7 years old. Pearl was crated her whole life and used as a puppy machine. Her legs and elbows did not develop properly since she was crated and was unable to walk. When touched she cried in pain… but that never stopped her tail from wagging! Pearl went directly to our vet for an exam and spay and it was discovered that she had a softball-sized tumor on her ovary. The doctors determined the tumor was cancerous and gave her 4 – 6 weeks to live.
A dedicated Rescue volunteer took her home for hospice care. Pearl was very sick and took quite a long time to recover. She would try to stand, only to tumble over. But, as the days turned into weeks and then months, Pearl seemed to get stronger and was able to take a few steps. Now, nearly two years later, Pearl’s tail continues to wag as she returns to a happy life. She needs daily medications and supplements, and requires special prescription food. Please open your heart to this girl and sponsor her so she can live out her days in comfort and happiness – she deserves it.
