Diamond Girl -VERY SAD UPDATE POST #19

[Reachoutrescue]

Well, I finally heard from the lady in Iowa with Diamond. They have decided to have Diamond go to a foster home that is closer to Iowa than I am. This concerns me. The foster home I had lined up is experienced with special needs dogs...specifically paralyzed pups. I have great references, which I provided for her, I had a cart being donated to us, as well as supplies to build a sling. I had spoken with a rehabilitation therapist already. We were so prepared for her. Dave even started building the ramp for her. And I started the fundraiser. I am not angry that I am not getting her, just very disappointed. I did a lot of extensive research and work to make her adjustment comfortable. I just hope she is really going to a "foster". Debbie never told me what the vet said. I pray they are not giving up on her. I never worked with Debbie before...so I am a bit concerned. All I can do is pray. She said she would update me. So we will see.

For anybody that donated....we will refund your donation upon request. Just PM me your email address so I can find you on the donation site. It is not right to take money for a dog we are not getting and I don't want anybody thinking I am running a "money" scam.

Thank you all for all your help. Prayers for Diamond's safety.

Aww......rescue work is full of ups and downs, I'm sure. I just hope Diamond will get the care she needs. Unfortunately, I'm sure there will be another dog soon enough who will need your help. Please keep my donation for the next one or the ones you already have.

Thank you Moon. I really appreciate your generosity. I just wish there was something I can do for Diamond. I am so worried about her.

Like Moon, I hope you will keep my donation.
Prayers for Diamond that the new plan works out well for her.

I hate to even post this but I must. I received an email yesterday about Diamond. I guess it was meant to be not getting Diamond. Debra said after taking her to her vet, her vet said Diamond was in great pain and recommended letting her go. It was obvious she was hit by a car, the vet felt more than once. Diamond had severe internal injuries and her bladder was filled with blood. She would have constant UTIs and other ailments. Debra and Diamond's foster dad, Larry, chose to help Diamond cross over to the Rainbow Bridge on Friday night. I was told she passed quietly in Larry's arms. Debra said she should have taken her to her vet before sending out emails and feels very bad for that and having to decide to do what she had to.


I wish I could have done something for Diamond or maybe have met her face to face. At lease Diamond is no longer suffering and can walk and run again at the R.B. I know all of our beloved R.B. pets are showing her around and taking great care of her.

Run hard Diamond.....you are free now! Thank you to everybody for caring about Diamond and supporting our rescue. Your generosity will not be forgotten.

RIP Diamond. When I look up at all those diamonds in the sky at night - I'm certain that one of them will be you!

That is beautiful!

RIP Diamond, you can now run and play without pain.

Pomtzu, that was really beautiful...thank you. Taz....thank you as well. I know Diamond is now free, and that is what matters. I still can't help but be sad, though I never met her in "person", I still felt rather connected to her.
