Shot Puppy Recovering at ShelterTwin Falls
Tilt is a lovable, playful and by her personality, you wouldn't know she's a gun shot survivor.
Her litter mates weren't as lucky though, as a passerby found most of them deceased except for Tilt. And while watching her walk, you can see how she received her name. Animal Shelter Director Debbie Blackwood says "We we're concerned. We suspected she had been attacked by something, so we took her to the vet and yes, she had been shot. She has bb's lodged in and around her head, brain and neck." Blackwood considers Tilt's situation to be an example of animal abuse. "To shoot and mane an animal and not end its life in a quick manner is not considered a humane death." More than 60 percent of the animals that come through the shelter have health issues. When it comes to paying for the animals that need extra medical attention, such as in tilt's case, it's based on donations. If you're interested in adding Tilt to your family, you'll notice she enjoys the attention and toys like other dogs do. But Blackwood says she may not regain the normal function of how she carries her head. "I would love if someone adopted her because the animal shelter is a holding facility. They need the love and the quiet of a normal home.” Comments ( |
