"What's wrong with this dog?" That's what rescuer Kelly Walls asked the kennel worker when she saw this little girl sitting in her crate. In a perfect world, ACS should notify rescue when they have an injured dog that needs more medical attention than they can provide. While they don't pretend to understand why, they know that there are rescues in this City that will take the injured dogs to make sure they have a chance. Unfortunately, this little girl sat for two days, without any medication for her pain, before Kelly just happened upon her in the kennels. She was rushed to a private vet only to learn that her injuries were far more severe than anyone could have imagined. Her spine had been severed, most likely from being hit by a car and the decision was made to euthanize her. The only ray of light is that she did not die alone in a cold and careless animal control facility, but peacefully while being comforted by two rescue angels. She knew love and kindness before she left this earth. Allowing an animal to wallow in pain with such a catastrophic injury is inhumane and the decision not to immediately euthanize or to contact rescue is inexcusable.
