Breeze,abused Blue Merle Sheltie

[cody6]

Hi all,Wendy & I just returned the other day from our trip up north.Poor weather made the trip a little on the wild side.Anyhow the subject of my post is "Breeze" our new Blue Merle female sheltie.How we came to acquire Breeze is a long story,so I'm going to have to leave out a lot of details.
-We found Breeze in Prince Rupert,B.C. apparently abandoned in somebodies front yard.
-Breeze was suffering from the following
-Multiple air rifle wounds to the head & both sides
-Old factures of three ribs & the rear left leg
-Remains of what appears to be a homemade choke chain imbedded in the skin around her neck
-Malnutrion & Dehydration
-Breeze(the name of my first collie) is presently staying at our vets,she requires IV's to bring her fuid levels up plus surgery to remove fragments of air rifle pellets & choke collar.
-Needless to say her coat is a mess,but should recover with time
-We think Breeze is about 4-5 years old,has been spayed in the past
-No tatoo or microchip ID marks
-The vet feels that when Breeze has recovered her strength,we might want to consider resetting her rear leg.
-Needless to say I've left out a lot of details but will keep you posted as to how our little girl is getting on.Blue Skies Cody,Wendy Cole & Breeze
P.S. May the miserable SOB'S who did this to Breeze be triple damned for life
P.P.S.They may be right about global warming,the glacier melt is quite remarkable.

I'm glad you were there to rescue her. I hope she can make a fast and strong recovery. Poor girl. Who knows what she's been through these past 4 or 5 years??? She's a lucky girl to have you and can now live the rest of her life as a happy and loved pooch.

I don't understand these sick and twisted people and how they treat innocent animals. What goes around, comes around. They'll get what they deserve.

Please keep us updated on her progress.

I'm with Colonel Underpants. Even that would be too good for them. There sure are some cruel, sick people in this world. I hope Breeze makes a full recovery and can enjoy the good life again. Bless you for rescueing her.

[Megansmom]

Even better, allow a home made choke chain to embed itself into the persons neck than shoot at him, leave him wounded for dead. But just barely keep him alive so he can feel the pain and suffering that poor baby felt. :dead:

[Megansmom]

BUT, God is going to abundantly and richly bless YOU and your family for rescuing this precious baby. My hat goes off to you :smile2:

[MissSuzie]

Poor little Breeze! Bless your hearts for taking her in. I'm sure she will grow to love you very much and appreciate all you've done for her.

I was watching Animal Planet the other day and sometimes the things you see on the Animal Rescue shows just baffles you. I don't understand how people could do things like this to an innocent animal!!!

I usually can't watch most of those shows cause there just too upsetting. People who abuse animals are mentally ill and need psychiatric help :mad:

[corbinam]

Poor little Breeze. I hope she makes a full and fast recovery both physically and mentally. Thank you for taking her in and giving her a second chance to trust and love.

[danisgoat]

Wow...the cruelty in this world never ceases to amaze me. That poor poor baby girl. My heart is breaking right now.

Thanks for taking her in....and for getting her the medical care that she needed. And thanks to the person who found her and got her somewhere that she can be helped. I hope that she can recovery physical and mentally from this absolutely tragic part of her life.

[mbfrench]

I am sickened to hear of the devastating circumstances you have found this precious babe in. It is a travesty,that a person could be so cruel.

I will pray pray that she recovers,at vets office. It will no doubt be a long road emotionally for her,but she is in good hands now with you.
Bless you for taking her~ Has your vet givin any thoughts to how long she may be there?

[missjenneygirl]

Yes, thank you for taking in Breeze. This is her lucky year. May she know love, hugs and kisses for as long as she lives. And give yourself a BIG hug from all your sheltie friends.

[Ania]

OMG the poor girl. I could strangle the person/people responsible for this. Sometimes, I wish I could exact the same torture on these people that they inflicted on these poor, helpless animals. Makes me sick to the core.

Thank God that you found her and took her in. I am sure she will repay you a thousand fold for your kindness and love that you have and will show her.

[granite]

Bless you for rescuing Breeze.
May she recover rapidly.

[Lahree]

Even better, allow a home made choke chain to embed itself into the persons neck than shoot at him, leave him wounded for dead. But just barely keep him alive so he can feel the pain and suffering that poor baby felt. :dead:

Amen.:mad:

[mcguiregirl2248]

Poor Breeze. That poor girl. I just don't understand what is the matter with people. I'm so glad that you are taking her in. I will keep all of you in my thoughts.

[Phebe*DD]

God bless you for rescuing Breeze. 2010 is going to be a very happy new year for this girl.

As for the people who did this, I don't have anything to say that I'm willing to type.:mad:

[Sumac3890]

How can some one be so cruel to a dear sheltie? Bless you for rescuing her and I pray she heals quickly and can enjoy a good life.

[SheepOfBlue]

In a strange way anyone that could act like that already is in hell with another to follow.

Post up Breeze picts when he gets to his new house then some picts as he get healed and recovering. At least Breeze will be done suffering soon and learn what life is supposed to be like.... oops Sca says his sheep needs to go for a walks so :biggrin2:

[romeosangiovese]

Oh poor little Breeze!!! :cry: I hope she gets well soon.
People can be so sick. So incredibly sick to the core. :mad: :mad: :mad:

[Smudge]

How in the seven seas does a choke collar get embedded into a dog's skin?! :eek2: I really, really don't want to know the answer to that.

I hope everything turns out ok! :cry:

[OntarioSheltie]

How is Breeze doing today?

Thank goodness you were able to rescue her!

Some people just make me sick :mad:

[Silaria]

What I would say about someone who would do this to an innocent animal is not fit for this forum.

Thank you for taking care of Breeze. I pray she will be healed of her physical and emotional wounds so she can love and trust someone again.

[IrisLove]

That is unreal... Good thing you came along !! May the lord strike down upon these people with an unsurpassable vengence. I hate those kinds of people ugh...Bless your soul

So they like playing with guns.. *throws shotgun in trunk, Iris in tow and begin the travel to finding the poor losers*

Dont be surprised if you dont hear from me for a few days, and dont read the paper
for a week.

[SheltieLuver]

Thanks for rescuing this poor sheltie out of such a horrible situation. Wishing Breeze a speedy recovery. :yes:

I could NOT agree with you more:mad:

How is Breeze doing today?

[cody6]

Hi all,Thanks for your kind thoughts about Breeze.We live within walking distance of my vet,so with Cole in tow we went to visit Breeze first thing this morning.The vets decided to operate on Breeze yesterday afternoon,after discovering the following
-The air rifle used must have been fairly low velocity as six of the pellets(pellets I think is to gentle a word,they are not like pellets from a bb gun,they were .177 caliber steel tipped projectiles which are capable of inflicting severe damage on any small animal)we believe breeze's matted coat & the rather low velocity of the rifle saved her life as they did not penetrate deeply enough to do serious damage to her vital organs.
-The seventh shot was fired from point blank range,we believe this was meant to be a killing shot.as the pellet passed behind her left ear,thru her skull destroying the optic nerve of her left eye,exiting the top of her mouth & finally embedding in her lower jaw.
-Breeze is now a one eyed sheltie,her eye was removed & sutured shut.
-The pellets were all removed & the electrical cord was removed from her neck
-Its going to be a near run thing for Breeze during the next few day's,we should know by friday if Breeze is going to overcome her physical injuries.
-If she survives her physical injuries,the next trial for her will be her mental state.Right she's under sedation,but she is a severly traumatized little dog.
-We would ask you all to say a little prayer for Breeze as she's going to need all the help she can get.Will keep you all posted,once again thanks for your kind thoughts & prayers.Blue Skies-Cody,Wendy,Cole & Breeze

[Chris]

Dear St. Francis, we have a little Sheltie who desperately needs your care. Breeze has been badly hurt. As humans, we are ashamed that any of our species could be so cruel to such a gentle one. Please, ask the Boss to mend her body and heal her mind. In His name we ask.
Amen
:sadsmile:

[take4roll10]

wow that is so heartbreaking. How on earth could someone do that to an animal???

I hope she recovers both physically and mentally. I hope she gets to experience a wonderful life with you, which she deserves.

Thank you for rescuing and taking care of her.

She is in my prayers and thoughts.

[MissSuzie]

I read your recent post with tears in my eyes. I just don't understand some people. This is so brutal.

I pray little Breeze makes it through to learn the love of someone like you. She deserves for someone to cuddle her and give her kind words and gentle touches.

Bless you and please keep us posted.

[Justicemom]

I am absolutely sick over what Breeze has been though. Thank you for trying to help her. My prayers for her recovery.

[Silaria]

Oh my ... :eek2: :cry:

I really hope karma, fate, or whatever other word you want to put to it kicks this person/these people responsible so HARD in the teeth (preferably somewhere lower and more painful) that their head spins and they don't know what hit them. :mad:

Please keep us updated on this little girl.

[mbfrench]

I thought I would check in again,to see about any updates on Breeze. And I just read your post on her surgery today.

We are all going to say prayers every day for this little soul,that each day we will hear good news about her.

Theres a reason,she has survived,and I do think it was meant to be that she is in your care. She has endured some terrible things,but she has a will stonger than strong,for her to be where she is right now in your loving care.

Know that everyone here will be with you in prayer,and and our thoughts. She is going to make it,and she will come home. I know it in my heart.

When we took Bumper from the breeder,it was pure fate,that I met this woman one day back now a year ago. I was doing a wedding consult for a cake,at a total strangers home.
At the end of the consult,we got to talking about family,pets..and the like. And she said to me,wait right here I have something I need to show you.

Up the huge circular staircase she went,and emerged a few minutes later with an 8 week old blind cat,she was born with no eyes. And she proceeded to tell me that she could not sell her,and she was going to have her euthanized. I think at the time,she thought she only had one solution.

Today Bumper is a survivor.There was a reason that I was there that day,and so glad I wasted no time in making arrangements to bring her home to her forever home. Our vet said it is a miracle she survived. Yes..a miracle. She had the will to survive.

[danisgoat]

Oh wow.....I am just balling tears. I will most definitely keep this little girl in my thoughts and prayers. I can not possible ever imagine what type of person would do this. I sure do hope that he is caught and prosecuted.

Bless you for all that you are doing for this poor creature. They shot her at point blank range???? I just can't believe this. With an embedded color???? Dear God, why why why????? I am sick to my stomach.

[Lahree]

I can't tell you how upset I am to read what cruelty was inflicted on a helpless animal.

I will pray for her and hold her in my thoughts. Thank you and bless you for taking care of her.

I hope karma is real and that you are blessed for what you are doing and the evil, evil, sick individual(s) responsible for her torture and mutilation are punished and have justice dealt out to them.

[Ania]

I am at a loss for words. How can anyone be so, so cruel - what are they? a psychopath? I pray that Breeze pulls through. She will have a long road ahead of her, but with love and support she will come through.

I also hope that the Golden Rule truly does apply: do onto others as you would have done unto you. I hope they get EXACTLY what they did to her.

God Bless you and your family and little Breeze.

[Megansmom]

The only reason I have not lost hope in humanity is I KNOW these people who inflict such evil on animals WILL meet there maker soon enough!

[Phebe*DD]

I am at a loss for words. How can anyone be so, so cruel - what are they? a psychopath?
Possibly. Often abusers start out by inflicting torture on animals.

I'm praying that Breeze will heal physically, mentally and emotionally.

[Furmom]

As the pit in my stomach expands from reading about Breeze I am in prayer for her. I can not wrap my mind around the cruilty that people inflict on these poor animals. Please keep us posted on her progress. She is already blessed since she was sent you for an Angel.

[Sharon7]

I too have my stomach clenched and tears streaming from reading about Breeze. I have horrible thoughts for the SOB who did it, but most of all I have prayed (and I'm not really devout) several prayers for Breeze's well being.

You know what? The best revenge is for her to live, love and thrive under the loving care of her new family.

Please God work a miracle here and heal this poor dog, inside and out.

Waiting to hear more in a day or two...

Sharon

Poor baby girl! How can anyone be so cruel?!!!! We will keep her in our prayers.

[terdonal]

I pray for Breeze to recover fully and enjoy the love you and your family will give her for the rest of her life.

[IrisLove]

oh good lord, I can't believe someone could do such a thing, thats sickening... Poor Breezy, we will be hoping for a speedy recovery !!!

[squall]

This is such a horrible story. I also just got a rescue dog, but his mistreatment was nowhere near this level. :mad:

God bless you for helping Breeze...and best of luck!
