A Story of Hope


This little girl, a sharpei x, was seen by a good samaritan after a car pulled away on Albany Highway. We believe she may have been dumped. When we took her in she was blind and very, very skinny. She was named Hope, in hope she might get her sight back and get a loving home. Hope has been to see Dr Colin Sherry, an eye specialist at the Champion Lake Veterinary Centre. A big thankyou goes to him for his expertise and generosity. He thinks she has never had sight and needs an operation for entropian of the right eye. This is where the eyelid turns inward and the lashes rub on the eye. Since she has been with us she has put on a lot of weight and is such a happy little girl. She does get a bit growly when dogs are near her but that is probably because she doesn't know if they are going to attack her, so she warns them off. We are hoping there is a special person out there to give her a loving home, preferably where she is the only animal in the home. If anyone would like to donate money for her operation it would be kindly received.
