German Shepherd Dog / Mixed : : Female : : Adult : : Large
3/15/07 Lanie hit a low during her treatment which is not uncommon for dogs in such bad shape. But her will to live is just too strong, she has been given some meds and seems to be coming around the corner. PLEASE pray for this sweet girl to complete her extensive treatment and have a full recovery. Poor Lanie was sick so her owners withheld food in the hopes she would die quickly...do you know what a painful and long death starvation is? Well, her owners must not have known, so they dumped her on the streets after she was taking too long to die. Well she is HIGH heartworm positive and was emaciated to the point she was just skin and bones. Her weight was 26.5 pounds. These pictures are after two weeks of TLC and FOOD and she has gained 11.5 pounds!!! She started a split treatment for heartworms because she is so frail. This girl must have more than one guardian angel...if you would like to be one of Lanie's ARFangels, use our paypal button with a note * for Lanie* and you too can be a part of this miracle dog. She will be a majestic beauty once she gains all the weight she needs to gain. Just think what this beautiful dog went through when her owners passed by her every day and did not feed or water her...poor girl must have thought she had done something wrong. I can tell you the only thing she did wrong was to love the wrong family too much. Now she is with ARF and we are dedicated to show this girl that humans are not all like her previous owners. Thank you for visiting with Lanie and please contribute to ARF so we can continue to help helpless dogs like Lanie. She is not up for adoption at this time and will not be for a while due to her long treatment ahead. But if you would like more information, call the ARFline at 337-332-4756.
