NELLAS BIO: Nella is a beautiful 3 year old mostly white pure
Staffordshire Bull Terrier who was rescued from a selfish and cruel
backyard breeder. She was kept in a back room run down trailor in the
dark, in a small filthy cage when she was pregnant and her babies
were sold as early as 5 weeks for bait dogs for fighting.. When she
wasnt pregnant she was chained, on several huge short chains to a
doghouse behind a junkyard among a long row of other bully breeds
this cruel man used for various reasons. She has been overbred but
was an affectionatte and caring mother. She was in severe suffering
when she was rescued. (we also saved one of her puppies) She has
healed physically and emotionally. utd on shots, and she is spayed.
She now thinks she is a lapcat. She was first owned by a lady who had
children and gave her alot of affection but gave her away to this
breeder because she moved into a smaller home. Nella listens well and
LOVES kids and curently lives with 7 other rescues of various breeds,
ages, and temperments and gets along well with all of them. She loves
to go for rides and learned to walk on a leash pretty good. She likes
to chase cats but has never hurt one and will immediately lose
interest when they stop running! She is fine with strange dogs as
long as they dont show any aggression to her (then she grumbles at
them). She has never been in any fights but has been attacked by
other stressed and suffering dogs who got loose at the breeders
junkyard. If she gets off leash she will listen to her human pack and
follow them wherever they go. She likes to snuggle on the couch when
her humans are watching tv and will fall asleep snoring loudly like
an old man in no time. Nella also loves getting kisses and hugs and
loves to kiss her humans back!
NELLAS EMERGENCY: This week she was running around in the yard fast
playing keep away ball with her puppy and another rescue pup and she
made a sharp turn and damaged her spine. She dropped and started
screamingand was unable to get up. She is paralyzed from the hip to
the toes on her back hind leg. (Thank goodness just one leg was
paralyzed!) Her vet said she either has Fibrocartilaginous Embolism
(FCE), or Intervertebral Disk Disease, either way she needs to see a
neurolosit and then get an MRI asap. Her vet visit wasalmost 200$
which was almost all of our funds for all the dogs here in our area.
To see the neurologist, in Columbus, it is 125$ just for him to look
at her and nothing else. The MRI is between 1700$-1900$...We didint
even ask how much surgery for either option was...One hurdle at a
time....We are starting a fundraiser to get her to the neurologist
and for her MRI. We need to know what is wrong so we can work on her
future and make sure that she will be okay..or whether she wont be
okay. We are worried it might be a perm damage and she may be in perm
pain. We just need to find out as much as we can as soon as we can
from this nuerologist. She has been through enough in her life. She
has to be crated and it is hard to do that considering her past
crating experience...She is starting to get depressed and Im worried
about her going downhill. Please repost to anyone you think might be
able to help her.
Anyone who wants to donate for her (125$)
consultation with the nuerologist and the (1700$-1900$) MRI can
contact
