• We received an email this afternoon about a Dachshund that was Owner Surrendered to CCAS after being hit by a car and the owners were not able to pay for the medical bills. The picture they sent didn't look like the dog had anything wrong with her. I asked the shelter what the injuries were and they said to her eye. Odd that a car would injure a dogs eye... especially a small breed. What was she hit by a low riding race car?! Hmmm, not making sense.
  
  A CCHS foster stepped up right away to take her in and just happen to be in the area at the time too so she was taken directly to our vet within two hours of being dropped at the shelter. Upon examination they found that her jaw was broken and needed to be wired shut. The vet says the incident is not consistent w/ a car injury at all. She was likely kicked or hit with something (smaller than a vehicle). Her eye has a 50/50 chance of recovering as she does have minimal activity in the eye still. She goes in for surgery on Monday and will be "drinking through a straw" until her injuries have healed.
  
  We will all say a prayer for this little girl to make a full recovery! And whom ever did this to her to get their just deserve. If you would like to make a donation towards her care, you can do so by visiting our home page and clicking on the donation link.
  
  Despite her injuries, she is all wiggly sweetness and wags her tail non stop. She is very friendly and does great w/ dogs, cats and kids of all shapes and sizes. She will have her jaw wired and spay on 6/13. She looks like a mini lab!
  
  Stay tuned for more updates on this sweet girl.
