Can You Spare Some
Bones to Honor Super-Rescuer's Beloved Terrier
Chip-In of the Week: The Exhaustive
Effort to Save Precious Rooney!
Nancy Green is an Atlanta dog rescuer and animal-lover
to the core. And if you know Nancy Green, then you've surely seen at
least one picture of her precious Rooney. Last week, she rushed him to the vet
when he seemed too weak to walk; since it’s been an all day/night effort to
support his little system with fluids, steroids and blood transfusions. In the
very early hours of today, Rooney passed over the rainbow bridge where he was
reunited with Nancy’s beloved dog, Geneva.
The final conclusion was that
Rooney immune mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA), an unexplained reaction where
the body attacks its own blood cells. It comes on quickly and often results in
death, even with the very best treatment – and for four days, Nancy ensured
Rooney had exactly that. As you can imagine, the vet bills are astronomical. We
know that Nancy would give her last dime to help ANY dog – and likely has,
particularly in the case of her own loved boy. As a tribute to her little angel,
Rooney, we are asking for donations to help pay off his bills.
Rooney is
one of Nancy's many rescues – dumped out of the car near her home and welcomed
into her pack without question. From that day on, he became her little prince.
If you’ve ever seen the quote, “I always thought someone should do something
about that, then I realized I was someone," Nancy is that someone for any
helpless dog that crosses her path.
