Welcome Victoria!

Written by a CP Intakes Coordinator

Welcome Victoria, meaning victorious, winner, conqueror. All of which describe this 3 year old cairn. She was adopted from a local shelter by a gentlemen that had allergy testing done on her to find out exactly what she was allergic to so that she could be treated. He paid for a supply of her allergy shots, but, decided that he was not equipped to handle all the care that she would need and surrendered her to his vet office. He gave her very good care, he even paid to have a mammary tumor removed and her spay. She also had to have part of her tail amputated, related to the allergies. It’s hard sometimes to do the right thing and the right thing was that he realized that he was not equipped to care for Victoria. She deserves someone that can give her all the love and care she will need long term.

Well one of our volunteers uses the same vet, so it was this girls lucky day when the vet tech introduced her to the CP volunteer. She contacted Intakes and we went to work to get this girl into the CP family.

This girl is going to need allergy shots for now to help with her skin problems and allergies. We are hoping with the skin care protocol and by watching her diet it won’t be long before she can go without the shots. We are counting on her being a conqueror and overcoming the skin and allergy issues she is facing.

A special thank you to Kitty K. for all her help with Victoria, you are her rescue angel! She is headed to FL to her foster mom Tanya, who will work with her on the allergies and get her ready for a forever family.

Thanks again to all the volunteers that help cairns in need, it is so heartwarming to email or call and without hesitation you jump right in to help, we could not save the ones we do without all of you!!

Working together to help cairns in need! :)
