The Story of Duchess:
GU recently received a call from a women in the
Crockett area about two mistreated greys.
The caller had convinced a man (living nearby) to
give up the greyhounds. His plan was to breed the pair and make money.
The female never went into heat, and he was letting them starve.
After taking custody of the greyhounds, the lady
turned over Duchess and Royal to GU's care.
Duchess is a sweet tiny girl. She was underweight
when we picked her up. Taking her to a vet, we confirmed that she has
Heartworm. We also discovered Duchess had an old fracture of her left
tibia, probably from the track that was never corrected. Luckily, it
doesn't bother her.
Duchess is slowly regaining her weight. She will
begin her first Heartworm treatment next week. Hopefully, all will go
well.
Duchess is cat friendly indoors and loves to be with people. She just
wants lots of love and assurance from her foster family.
GU is greytful to the lady who rescued these
beautiful creatures and contacted us. They are now on the long road to
recovery.
