Q is for Quite a Cutie in her red Muffin’s Halo!

Hi Angels,

Q received her Muffin’s Halo!

Thank you so much for helping her when I could not. I will never forget your kindness to us. She is a wonderful Gal and I have never regretted rescuing her as a blind dog when she needed me.  Thank you all again from the bottom of my heart,
Q and mom Mickey

Backstory:   Q was either dumped or was in a car accident with her human. She sustained a smashed pelvis, a huge cut on the top of her head(so bad no hair grows there) and two detached retina’s making her permanently blind. The vet estimated her to be 8 years old last year making her 9 now.

Lone Star Shih Tza and Llasa Apso rescue took her in, fixed her pelvis and head however, there was nothing to be done about her eyes. She lived in the rescue and they tried to adopt her however, seni…or, blind dogs are hard to place so she lived in a cage, with time out for exercise, for 9 months. During that time she got really aggressive (to protect herself).

I had already committed to adopting Holly (another horrible story although she is not blind) when I saw Q. I decided to adopt them both as neither had much of a chance for adoption. They needed a good home and I have one. A friend of mine that is a retired flight attendant and her husband flew them both to Birmingham from Houston, TX, rented a car and met me halfway to Atlanta so I could get them.

At the time I had three other rescues (one has since died of a brain tumor). Q was aggressive to humans and my dogs as she was very afraid. I have worked really hard with Q to fit in our family and it has paid off as she is no longer aggressive and fits right in.

Q has learned her way around my home by using the walls to guide her so she is always bumping her eyes and getting ulcers. She has also developed Glaucoma in her right eye and bumps it as well.

I take care of my 90 year old Mom and the 4 Fur Babies however, I can no longer work outside of my home due to health issues of my own. I have had two major abdominal surgeries in 4 months.

I could never afford to get Q the Muffin’s Halo and if there is anything you can do to help her get one I would appreciate it so much. She is a great Gal and I love her so much and hate that I cannot afford one for her.

I haven’t much money however, I give back by doing legs of transport for rescues when possible.

Thank you for any consideration and help you can give us.
