Ira has had an unimaginably difficult start to 2023 - after an even worse 2022.
She was found in a heartbreaking state: Chained up, deprived of food and water for weeks - barely surviving off whatever scraps of food she could find or was tossed. Today, her body is a shadow of itself - as if weeks had passed without nourishment or human contact.
Ira is fighting severe diarrhea - along with being underweight and incredibly boney. Her joints are weak and it is very possible she’s suffered broken hip bones - making it hard for her to walk or even stand on all four feet; let alone take those first steps towards recovery.
Today, this beautiful girl remains hospitalized - as she needs immediate treatment for dehydration and malnourishment, along with X-rays and orthopedic care to figure out what’s going on with her mobility.
Please, everyone. Send prayers; send love; send any help you can - we want to help this poor girl so that she can get the life she so deserves. Together, we can get sweet Ira back on all 4 paws and onto a MUCH better 2023. Thank you, all! We will keep you posted on Ira’s condition as she goes. Thank you so much, all!
