SPECIAL NEEDS GOLDENS

MAYA

This young golden girl is in need ... need of a foster home or adoption home that will have the time and dedication to assist her after she has  knee surgery.  Maya is about a year and a half old.  She has already suffered a broken knee and that was repaired by a Board Certified Surgeon and was doing very well.  However she is active and has now injured the knee again.  It is not broken but there is a definite injury and we need to find out what the problem is.  Right now she is in her original home, who loves her very much but is willing to relinquish her to us because they are not financially able to do a second surgery and the MOST important reason is that there are three very young, active kids in the family.  This is not the home for Maya ... too much activity, too much rough play.  We are looking for a home that is quiet ... a place for her to heal after the surgery.  GRINinc will be paying for whatever veterinarian care she needs up until adoption.  Our first priority is to get her into the right home and then get her to the surgeon.   If you are interested in helping Maya, please either email us at mygldns@yahoo.com or visit our website www.GRINinc.org to read about the foster/adoption process.

UPDATE ON MAYA 7/13/08:  Maya will be heading for surgery this week . She has extensive damage to her knee that will require insertion of screws and exploratory surgery to repair ligament damage.  The recovery will be at least 6 weeks.  Each day we hope to see Maya improve and the amount of pain decrease. Right now, she hardly uses her back leg.  This surgery will be costly but we know that Maya will be a happier, healthier dog and we just cannot put it off any longer.  Look for an update after Maya's surgery.

HADLEY

Hadley is a new Special Needs golden...at least for now he is special needs.  We hope that after excellent and attentive vet care and loving foster care, he will become a healthy, happy boy.  Right now he is very stressed.  Hadley found himself for the second time in the shelter.  He had an owner, but the owner never came for the golden boy so GRINinc. stepped in. Hadley is heartworm positive and is very, very thin.  Also, we surmise that he may have been in a car accident while in the car or pick up truck.  He absolutely panics when put into a vehicle.  We have also found upon exam that he may have an old injury or fracture to his back leg/hip....possibly happened during the accident???  Once Hadley settles down in his foster home, we will be starting the heartworm treatment and Hadley will undergo X-rays to see what has happened to his back leg/hip and of course GRINinc. will address any problems that he may have ...hoping to improve his health and his quality of life.  By the way, our foster parents are taking Hadley for short little rides in the car trying to convince him that nothing bad will happen to him...we will keep you posted on his progress.  Hadley is not up for adoption as yet....he needs time and good care before he can go to his forever home.

What Does "Special Needs Golden" Mean?

Our organization is a full-service golden retriever rescue, which means that we take in, Goldens and sometimes golden mixes ranging in age from very young to very old in need of rescue efforts. We help Goldens that are in need of treatment for diseases or ailments such as heartworms, pneumonia, malnutrition, cancer, skin diseases, or perhaps surgery for hip displasia or eye issues …just to name a few. It is not unusual for our medical expenses, especially for seniors, to mount to several thousands of dollars.  Special Needs Goldens are ones that are in need of extraordinary medical treatments necessary to allow them a new healthy life.
