26-09-09 Poor Poppy is just 6 months old and is our latest emergency case in need of very special and immediate care. This unlucky girl needs a liver shunt operation and needs it quickly or she won't last.
Poppy is a lovely girl, very affectionate and friends with everyone she meets. Please, we are asking for anyone with a good relationship with their vet and who can get a good, low quote for a liver shuntm operation to get in touch. Sadly the operation that Poppy needs can run into the thousands and of course every penny is a struggle for us and has to come from somewhere.
Her owner's no longer wanted her and other large rescues turned Poppy down but we've taken her in and will do everything in our power to save her life, but we cannot without your help. Please help us find the help that this little angel needs and call us on 01269 843094 if you can help.

Poppy is very charming but very quiet for a pup. Walking her I see why - poor Poppy has damaged eyes, in fact I fear she is blind. Her liver enzymes are so high that I guess damage to the sensitive retinas has taken place. If only she had had this problem addressed early. It's hard and very sad to believe that someone with an extremely responsible job could ignore their responsibilities and cause this suffering.
This has been one of the most expensive weekends ever here and the most discouraging. Dumped pups, neglected dogs and sadness and despair, thank goodness for those of you who agree to help. THANK YOU.
POPPY IS NOT READY FOR ADOPTION YET.
(Sorry if Poppy is on here twice, I'm sure I saw her on here but couldn't find the post to put on the MT update)
