estimated to be 10 years old). And what's more, it shines a very insightful light on the blatant and ongoing neglect she's been forced to endure. Her body is dealing with SO much, and her soul is exhausted from extreme neglect. Daphne limps and hobbles painfully on her front left leg, suspected to be from a hit-and-run accident. She's battling something serious in her eyes (confirmed by the vet to be Entropion), which are cloudy and have crusty gunk coming out—so much so that her eyes were sealed shut from the goop. And, as if all that weren't enough, separate and distinct from these injuries are Daphne's MAJOR skin issues– as is the rotting smell of infection coming from her mouth.
Daphne desperately needs to undergo a dental, which will likely include a few tooth extractions. Her skin issues will take weeks to clear-up, and requires the help of oral antibiotics, topical treatments, and medicated shampoos. And her eye issues, primarily the entropion, will need to be addressed via surgery (when she's ready).
The reality of this very-deserving angel's condition is that it did not happen overnight. No; Poor Daphne has been suffering and in much need of medical treatment for a LONG time. But now, we're seeing to it that Daphne is seen – REALLY seen – for what she truly is: A special, one-of-a-kind, wise-beyond-her-years Bundle of Love.
Please keep this special girl in your thoughts and prayers, and if you are able to assist with Daphne's care, please consider donating to her medical care or sending a special "get-well" item off her wishlist below. We will update everyone on Daphne's condition as she goes, thank you so much for your kindness and support.

Daphne was discovered lying on a rural road, alone and in pain. The passerby took her home, hoping her owner would come forward or someone would. But when no one claimed her, the person eventually listed Daphne as "free" on a yard sale site.
That's when we were asked to step in and provide the care she so desperately needed– but granted, it's a lot. Appearance alone tells us that Daphne is a "senior" gal (estimated to be 10 years old). And what's more, it shines a very insightful light on the blatant and ongoing neglect she's been forced to endure. Her body is dealing with SO much, and her soul is exhausted from extreme neglect.
