The Rehabilitation of Sadie: A Dogs Miraculous Recovery from Traumatic Injuries after an Act of Animal Cruelty


Muskego, WI / Milwaukee, WI (PRWEB) May 14, 2013

At the end of April 2012, ambitious pet owner, Joal Derse Dauer, went to an animal shelter to donate blankets when she caught a glimpse of a dog as she was walking out. She asked a volunteer what the injured, malnourished dog with the beaming eyes story was, and they told her that Sadie, who had just been brought up from Kentucky, was found in the mountains where, after having a litter of puppies, she was shot between the eyes and in the back and left for dead.


After a series of unknown events, she wound up in the no-kill animal shelter in Wisconsin to live out her life most likely destined for euthanasia or at the very least, a low quality of life in a caged environment since she had difficulty mobilizing her two hind legs from her injuries. But that very day, Joal scooped her up and took her to a few doctors for a prognosis.


Sadie was urinary incontinent, fecal incontinent and paralyzed. She was advised to do the kind thing, but Joal saw life Sadies beaming eyes and was determined to give her a second chance. The next day, Joal took Sadie to see a natural holistic doctor in Muskego WI, who said that they should give Sadie a chance, and so they did.


Sadie had the bullet removed from between her eyes on June 4th along with a cyst from her tail. The bullet and shrapnel in her back are too deeply embedded to remove.


After recuperating for a few weeks from surgery, Sadies rehabilitation started in earnest. Sadie receives daily exercises as well as the following therapies to save her two hind legs from amputation;
