Stray Dog Found with No Paw,

Brought to Pet Helpers

              

Charleston, SC - On Friday, June 19, a stray dog with a missing paw was found on the side of the road on Johns Island.  The dog, now named Betsy, is a two year old Staffordshire Terrier.  Betsy’s right front paw was completely missing and there was only exposed bone left in its place.  The dog was brought to Pet Helpers by a Good Samaritan.   Kristin Kifer, Pet Helpers Operations Manager, immediately took Betsy down to Ohlandt Veterinary Clinic where doctors had to amputate what was left of the leg.

“We speculate that something was wrapped around her paw, causing it to loose blood circulation which caused the paw to fall off,” stated Kifer.  Everything is curable but very costly.  Along with having a missing paw, Betsy also has a severe case of hook and round worms.  Pet Helpers has already spent over $1,000 for her surgery and shots.  Betsy is currently staying at Pet Helpers.  She is doing well and is expected to make a full recovery, minus one leg.

“I cannot imagine how long this young dog suffered in the streets with her foot gone, until a kind citizen finally stopped and picked her up.  She was literally at deaths door when she got to PH, due to infection, loss of blood and parasites.  “Betsy's spirit and apparent love of humans despite her neglect & suffering, and now loss of her leg, is amazing, and we thank Dr. Johnny Ohlandt for his excellent surgery and medical staff," stated Carol Linville, President/Founder of Pet Helpers. 

Pet Helpers is offering a $500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person who neglected and mistreated Betsy.

Kitten Found on Wando Bridge

On June 16, a 7 week old, orange tabby kitten was found on the Wando Bridge.  Allegedly it was thrown from a car.  Mount Pleasant police and animal control had to stop traffic on the east bound lane to catch the kitten.  We are offering a $500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person who threw Wando from the car. Wando is currently recovering at Pet Helpers.

Featured Pets: Millie & Elizabeth


MILLIE: Hey there!  My name is Millie.  I’m a 6 year old Greyhound mix who is a returned adoption because of my separation anxiety. I'm very attached to my humans, so I need to be crated (a great way to train!) when I'm left alone for any long period of time. It's really no fault of mine, but I worry about when you're returning and try to get into things while you're gone...

ELIZABETH:  I am a beautiful 3-year-old girl who has been here way too long, even though this is a great place to be a cat!  I was brought in as a kitten because..

CAN'T ADOPT?

THEN SPONSOR A PET!

We keep all of our pets until they are adopted. Some pets have been at the shelter longer than others. We know that one day we'll find the right home for them, but in the mean time we try to find them "sponsor parents." This is a great option for someone who may not be allowed to have a pet in their apartment, but wants a pet in their life. Sponsorships also make great gifts for young animal lovers.
