| Sloopy |
Safe at Last...
Sloopy was found lying along side Pee Dee road on a frigid February
evening. She had bite wounds over her entire body and was barely
hanging on to life. Moore Humane Society took her to a local veterinarian
for treatment. Testing determined that Sloopy was not only fighting
severe malnutrition, dehydration, and a raging infection due to multiple
bite wounds, but she was also positive for Ehrlichiosis, a tick borne
disease. The veterinarian prescribed an aggressive treatment of antibiotics
and steroids.
When Moore Humane Society notified Animal Control of Sloopy’s
condition, we were informed that they were pursuing cruelty charges
against a man who lived on Pee Dee Road involved in dog fighting.
After weeks of follow up visits to the vet and changes in treatment,
Sloopy still wasn’t gaining weight and her chances for recovery were
diminishing. Sloopy had severe anemia and her red blood count was
continuing to plummet. According to her lab results, we were told she
shouldn’t be alive. Sloopy was hospitalized and it was decided that
euthanasia was necessary in order to end her suffering. But when we
looked into Sloopy’s soulful eyes, they pleaded with us not to give up on
her. As long as Sloopy’s will to live was so strong, we knew we had to
give her every opportunity to do so.
With proper treatment, Sloopy’s progress was slow but steady. Her will
to live and appreciation of life grew stronger with each passing day. It
took many months, but Sloopy eventually recovered from her multiple
injuries and illnesses.
Although Sloopy was subjected to horrible abuse and neglect by her
owner(s), she is the epitome of gentleness and grace and has been since
the first day she was brought to us for care. Sloopy’s joyful disposition,
willingness to please, and inner beauty more than compensate for the
physical scars she bears from her past abuse. Many abused and
neglected dogs have passed through our doors, but none have endured so
much for so long and managed to maintain such strength and gentleness
of spirit as Sloopy…she shines from within.
So we say, “Hang on Sloopy, Sloopy hang on” until we find you a new
home and a much better life than what you have known.
