ALLIE NEEDS YOUR HELP!

My name is Allie and I once had a person of my own until she became ill. Because my owner had dementia, I had not been taken care of properly. My owners' family took me to a veterinarian to be boarded and I lived there for a very long time. With no where to go, and no one to love me, my time was coming to an end. But then SW Cairn Rescue learned of my plight and they welcomed me to their foster program with open arms and paws. I don’t think anyone could have been prepared to see the condition I was in. I was extremely overweight and even walking across the room was a struggle for me. I came with skin problems which led to open sores and my hair fell out. I never received dental care and my teeth and gums are in real bad shape. Worst of all, I've suffered from chronic ear infections that were left untreated.

Knowing that I needed extra special care and my rehabilitation would be a long process, SW Cairn rescue placed me in a very special foster home. My foster mom and dad are amazing! With their love and devotion, my skin has cleared up, I am growing in a beautiful red coat and I've lost 4 pounds! My leg muscles have gotten a lot stronger since foster dad takes me on daily walks with the two other Cairns I live with, and I can climb stairs and jump and play like a regular dog! I couldn't do any of that just a few short months ago.

Unfortunately one of my ears has not responded to the various medications and our doctor referred us to a specialist. The canal has calcified and cannot be opened to treat the infection that lies below, which is causing me tremendous pain. After having long standing ear infections that were not treated, the damage is too severe and the only way to correct the damage is to have surgery. I need to have a total ear canal ablation. I am hopeful that the surgery will restore my hearing too. Thank you for reading my story.

Love, Allie
