Who remembers Halo?
Our injured Frenchie who came from Contra Costa County Shelter in March 2024. This girl has 9 lives.
Backstory: Halo was stolen from the man who was breeding her for profit. He said he loved her when she was stolen.......Wrong.
While with him she had at least 1 litter to line his pockets. No one is quite sure where she was during the almost 2 years she was missing, but when she was found running around in Hercules.......the 1st person called was her Breeder, you know the guy who loved her so much.
He apparently didn't want her back.......life changes.....blah blah blah. She had a gash on the side of her body and we thought......what a good dog and an easy adoption.....we can get a dog out and make a space at the shelter. We will get her fixed up and find a wonderful family for her. Her gash was treated by the shelter with antibiotics, and eventually release to us after 10 days.
Wrong.........all the credit goes to the wonderful foster mother who cleaned her wounds daily and knew right away something was wrong.......and wouldn't let it go until I listened. Halo went to multiple vets a step higher each time until we landed at Pacific Vet in Lafayette. Dr had no idea what the source of the out of control infection was, so we opted for exploratory surgery.
As you know a 5 inch stick was found impaled in her body. One only wonders how the stick got there. She spent months healing from that surgery because it was so invasive. Then came time to finally spay her.
Well, that was a whole other thing. Due to the constant and multiple hack job C-sections that were done to her, probably in a garage somewhere without pain meds, her insides were a mess. And I quote, "parts of her body and organs were fused to other parts where they should not have been. It's a miracle this dog survived. She clearly has 9 lives.
She survived her original breeder just to be kidnapped by another Breeder. She survived multiple hack job C-section surgeries so someone could line their pockets. She survived running the streets of Hercules. She survived the shelter. She survived a serious infection and exploratory surgery. She survived an extremely complicated spay. Due to everything she has gone through, and many hours of deep thinking, considering all options and soul searching; we decided to keep her in our Ebarr family.
I can't even run the risk of her having another moment of anything less than stability, amazing love, and security. She is looking for a sponsor, so if you are interested please send me a message.
This is a truly Happy Tails story and you know we always do what's right for the animal. We appreciate everybody who donated to giving this doggie a chance of a life free from Abuse because that's what it was that she went through by multiple hands. You already know what I think about those breeders and whomever stabbed her.
Please consider being one of Halo's monthly sponsors
