GARD Promotional and Educational Videos

From time to time, GARD will have educational or promotional videos produced to help further the cause of pet rescue and responsible ownership.  "The Plight of Big Black Dogs" is our first such video.  It highlights the unfortunate fact that more black dogs are euthanized in shelters in America than any other color dog. 

THE PLIGHT OF BIG BLACK DOGS

 

Miracle's Story

 We saw this little black and white female terrier mix in animal control with a curled up front paw. She was slotted for euthanasia soon. We couldn't bear the thought of it and pulled her, knowing that we would incur possibly quite a few additional vet bills. The vet said her foot had nerve damage caused by trauma to her front left leg - Like someone had kicked her. The first vet to look at her said to just keep her confined for a little while and see if it got better. Well, it didn't, so we took her in for a second opinion. That vet said the leg needed to come off.  It was actually hindering her ability to get around well.  We sent out a plea for donations to help cover the vet bills we would incur.  With the help of many wonderful, generous people, we raised slightly more than what was needed to cover the costs.  Miracle came through her surgery like a trooper and ran around like a jack rabbit afterwards!  She has been adopted by a family in Connecticut and is living the good life that we wish all dogs had.  Watch her videos below to see the this little girl's story...
