About Bear

found this sweet girl abandoned tied to a water pipe on Monday July 30, in the blazing heat with no food, water, or owner to be found. After feeding her and giving her water, reaching out to everyone I saw asking if they knew anything, hours later, no one had returned for her. That was it. They weren't coming back for her. And I wasn't going to leave her. I contacted a few friends in rescue, and wound up taking her to the North Central Animal Shelter. She is chipped, and her owners have been contacted. They have not come for her. Her left front leg was either broken, and never fixed, or she's suffered a nerve injury. She is not in visible pain, so the shelter believes this is an old injury. All the same, that leg will likely have to be amputated. She is not being seen by many visitors to the shelter as she's in the medical treatment area. The likelihood of a random person coming in and even visiting that area, let alone adopting a dog with a clearly mangled leg is I'm guessing--not great. I intended to adopt her myself, until I found out that I can't have more than two dogs in my unit, which devastated me. So far, I've raised over $700 in donations to get this super sweet girl the care, and then ultimately the home that she deserves. I believe I'll be able to raise at least $1500. She certainly didn't deserve to be abandoned in a pile of dirt in Hollywood in triple digit temperatures.
