This week, after his tale was posted online, a dog who was discovered tethered in front of an adoption business in Greenville, South Carolina, won the hearts of many.
Remy was discovered tied to a pole with only a letter that stated: “She has illnesses I don’t believe are fixable. She needs to be put to sleep as soon as possible.” The Greenville Humane Society posted Remy’s tale on Tuesday.
Staff members quickly brought Remy inside after finding her abandoned and alone so they could feed her and start a complete veterinary examination.
Remy is adjusting well, according to Rachel Delport, CEO of the Greenville Humane Society, who also noted that her staff has shown her a lot of affection and given her plenty of opportunities to take walks and strolls in the afternoon.
The chief medical officer at the shelter determined that Remy had a grade 6 heart murmur during an examination. This suggests that there is a blood flow irregularity that needs more investigation and may require surgery or lifetime medication for Remy.
Remy is now receiving specialist food and therapy for her skin sensitivities after the team also discovered that she was having trouble.
Lethargy, fainting, coughing, gagging, breathing difficulties, decreased appetite, and muscle loss is among the indications and symptoms of heart murmurs, which are thought to affect about 60% of dogs over the age of five. Although a heart murmur cannot be cured, it is a condition that can be managed with the right support. The prognosis varies.
“It’s different for every patient, but dogs with a grade 6 heart murmur can live a happy and comfortable life, but it can shorten their life expectancy,” Delport added. She is going to the Upstate Veterinary Specialist in Greenville to get echocardiography so they can figure out what to do next.
Another 95 sick or injured animals are now being cared for by the humane society that is taking care of Remy. The Healing Place at the Greenville Humane Society is devoted to caring for these creatures, but Delport noted that “recently, we’ve had more sick and injured animals in our care than we have the money for.”
Delport declared, “We want Remy, and every animal in our care, to have a happy and successful life. It takes time, money, resources, and a lot of love, but we will never give up on them. We want every animal to leave our facility better than how they came in.
Remy continues to receive love and care from the Greenville Humane Society staff, but they have made a fundraising plea to assist cover her medical expenses.
“We would appreciate for the public to consider a gift to our Hope Fund through our website if they are interested in supporting Remy’s medical care or the other animals in our Healing Place.”
