Could you imagine living all alone in a house since last August, receiving only one small meal a day, and having all the utilities shut-off, so no air conditioning when it was hot nor any heat when it was cold. Take this one step further if you are a little Cairn, and not being let outside either but only having papers put down for you to potty on.
That's exactly the situation Trina found herself in. Her owner had died and no one else in the family wanted her, nor knew what to do with her. So, they left her to live in her home, all alone, stopping by once a day to give her a half can of dog food and change the newspapers for her to potty on. Over time, her skin became inflamed, dry and sore and she was chewing on herself ripping out hair and trying to get some relief. The family finally took her to a vet for her skin and asked for help in finding a home for her. Why no one had considered doing that sooner is unknown, but thanks to the caring vet staff and one of them knowing of Col. Potter, this little girl now has a bright, happy future ahead of her!
Please help me welcome Trina to the Col. Potter family!
