Shelbyville,KY: Beautiful BC is in a lot of pain Needs Home

Olivia, a pure bred Border Collie that is in the Shelby County Animal
Shelter (aka dog pound). This beautiful girl is very laid back and
has a WONDERFUL disposition. When I first spotted her in the row of
dog kennels she was standing there quietly just slowing wagging her
tail back and forth. When I approached her cage door it was as if
she actually smiled. She was also just as much the angel when we got
her out to take her pictures.

It is believed that Olivia may
be housetrained because she absolutely refuses to poop or pee in her dog
kennel or outdoor run! She literally has to be walked outdoors every
day by a staff member! The staff said that when they go in to clean
her kennel there is NEVER any poop or pee. What a good
girl!!!!

But through all her sweetness, this poor girl is probably
in a lot of pain right now. She was picked up as a stray and it
appears that she might have been hit by a car. A vet did look at her
(no x-rays were performed) briefly when he stopped by the shelter and said
that it appears she might have a dislocated hip. Although he
couldn't GUARANTEE it, he doesn't think it is fractured. Can
you imagine the discomfort you would be in if you hip was
dislocated???? KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS A COUNTY OPERATED (OPEN
ADMISSIONS) SHELTER, SO THEY CAN NOT ANY PROVIDE FURTHER VETTING FOR
THIS DOG.

Now, most other county operated kill shelters would have
euthanized Olivia only hours after she was picked up, but because this
shelter tries so hard to find rescues or adopters, they are asking me to
send out a plea for Olivia. Sadly, the ACO sent out a plea for
someone to rescue her last week and no one has responded.
So.....Olivia needs someone to step up quickly to rescue or adopt
her.

This shelter is rescue friendly and does NOT charge reputable
rescue organizations a pull fee. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THE
RECEIVING RESCUE MUST MAKE ALL THE TRANSPORT ARRANGEMENTS.

It is
estimated that she is young, probably only about 2 or 3 years
old.

Her adoption fee is $65 and includes a $30 voucher to be
applied to her spay surgery at a vet of your choice.

She's impound
#30.

If you can help Olivia, please call the shelter ASAP at
502-633-0009 and ask for James, the ACO. TIME IS OF THE
ESSENCE.
