Charleston, SC - A dog left for dead in December is getting the surgery she needs, thanks to some generous donors.

 

Annie was found emaciated and shot in December.  She is currently being taken care of by Pet Helpers Operation Manager, Kristin Kifer, where she has been gaining weight and regaining the trust of humans. 

“After everything that Annie has gone through, she is still a sweet and docile dog, although socially somewhat shy,” stated Kifer, who is currently the caretaker for the slender Lab Mix.  “We are still looking for someone to foster Annie and help her through her rehabilitation after her surgery; perhaps we will find her 'forever' new family to adopt her along with fostering while she recovers .”  

Annie will go into surgery tomorrow morning to remove her leg and will also be starting Heartworm treatments. 

“Annie was so malnourished and near death when found,  that the time period for her recovery will take some time,” stated Carol Linville, President/Founder of Pet Helpers. “We are very grateful to the Charleston community and media for their support and help in telling Annie's story and for the donations that are coming in to help us meet all her medical needs and care. While Annie will only have three legs, we are very optimistic that with time and lots of TLC, she will keep up with the best of dogs and do just fine!"

Pet Helpers has not gotten any tips or information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for abandoning and/or shooting Annie.
