Welcome in, Amy! Amy is a precious 6 year old girl who we were recently contacted about by another rescue organization. They had rescued her out of a bad breeding situation but her initial vetting revealed medical needs that they were unable to meet. They asked if we could help her and we were happy to welcome her in 💜Amy arrived from her long trek today and we will be taking care of all her vetting needs next week. She’s being fostered in Birmingham, Alabama and we will have more pupdates to share soon 💕

UPDATE SEPTEMBER 10, 2025: Over the weekend we introduced you to sweet 6 year old Amy who came to us as a transfer from another rescue after she was rescued out of a bad breeding situation. 
19 pound Amy has now undergone her full intake vetting where she received a thorough physical exam, full labwork, and has also met with our ophthalmologist. We found her knees, hips, and heart to be clear and congenitally sound. Additionally, her fecal test, heartworm and tick borne illness test, urinalysis, and bloodwork was normal and negative. We are treating her for ear infections. She has been cleared for her spay surgery and a dental cleaning of what is left of her teeth. You can see in the photo that they have been ground down to nubs and what you can’t see are the ones that have literally been ground down all the way to the gum. Amy has literally been trying to chew her way out to freedom for many years 💔 She will undergo her spay and dental tomorrow.
Sadly, Amy also has very little vision due to bilateral hypermature juvenile cataracts that she’s had all of her life and that have progressed to blindness. The good news is that our ophthalmologist found her to be an excellent candidate for cataract removal surgery where her cataracts will be removed and a new lens put in which will restore her vision 🙏🏻  As long as she has a routine spay surgery and recovery, she will undergo cataract surgery at the end of the month. It’s truly horrifying thinking of all the puppies she’s been forced to have that will end up blind too. 
Amy is such a brave girl who is ready to embrace the good life after the trauma of being blind and trapped in a puppy mill. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to give her the gift of vision and rescue 💜 She has already shown us what a sweet, loving girl she is through her close cuddles and hugs 💕 Amy is being fostered in Birmingham, Alabama and we will be sure to post a pup date tomorrow when she’s home from surgery 🙏🏻

UPDATE OCTOBER 2, 2025: Amy in Birmingham, Alabama is all bright eyed ✨ just two days after her life changing bilateral cataract removal surgery which restored her vision 🙌🏼 She’s on lots of eye drops to prevent infection, reduce inflammation, and keep her intraocular pressures low which will all ensure her best possible outcome. She will return to see her ophthalmologist on Monday for a recheck. Now with vision, she has already found so much more confidence and her darling personality is emerging more and more! She even chased after and played with toys today 💕 It’s obvious that life has just gotten a whole lot better for this sweet girl 💜

UPDATE OCTOBER 6, 2025: It’s been a week since sweet 6 year old Amy underwent bilateral cataract removal surgery where her hypermature cataracts were removed and brand new lenses put in to restore her vision 👁️ Other than an initial post operative intraocular pressure elevation, she’s had a wonderful, easy, and routine recovery 🙌🏼 and she showed us how good her vision is when she spotted and chased after a tiny bug! 🐜  Today, she will return to see her ophthalmologist for a recheck where her pressures will be checked and if all looks good, will begin a slow taper down of some of her eye medication. We will be sure to let you know how it goes 💜

UPDATE OCTOBER 21, 2025: It’s been 3 weeks since precious 6 year old Amy in Birmingham, Alabama underwent life changing cataract removal surgery which restored her vision 💕 She returned to see her ophthalmologist yesterday where she received an excellent report 📝 She has no inflammation, minimal scarring, normal intraocular pressure, and excellent visual response 🙌🏼 Therefore, her eye drops were able to be further reduced and she will return to her ophthalmologist in a month for another recheck 💕 We are so happy and so thankful to have been able to gift Amy with vision thanks to our generous donors, amazing ophthalmologist, and committed foster family 💜
