6lb apricot poodle with BROKEN JAW and NO TEETH!

CROSSPOST FAR AND WIDE!!!~

Please help us help Maxine: We need to raise money to fix her broken Jaw.

Little Maxine, a purebred apricot poodle who weighs just 6 pounds, needs your help.

 

Maxine has spent her whole life (6 years) living in misery at a puppy mill in Kansas where she was bred over and over and over.  She knew no love, no happiness, and every time she had puppies to love they were whisked away to be sold at pet stores.  After 6 years of Breeding, her puppies were no longer small enough for him and choose to euthanize her, but a pet shop owner in LA decided to take her in. When she arrived, she had an infection in her mouth and for some reason the vet stuck the plastic end of a syringe into her neck to drain the infection.  We were in shock when we saw the cut-off syringe sticking out of her neck.  We rushed her to our own vet who gave us sad news -- Maxine's jaw is broken, she's been living in horrible pain, and she needs surgery.  The vet removed the syringe, cut away the dead tissue, stitched up the hole and treated Maxine's infection and pain.

 

We all hear sad stories every day, it's the unfortunate price of working so hard to rescue dogs who need us.  But sometimes we hear a story so tragic that it's staggering.  That's how we feel about Maxine.

It will cost us almost $1500 to completely treat her and get her better. They have removed all her teeth because it was in such bad shape due to the years of neglect.
