That’s Downtown Dog Rescue in Los Angeles, which focuses much of its efforts on area shelters with high kill rates. Radish, a 10-12 year old Chihuahua was scheduled for euthanasia with her kennel mate, Cookie, when one of the DDR volunteers spotted these senior four-leggers after receiving DDAF’s grant for seniors.
After being diagnosed with kennel cough, which turned into pneumonia, Radish went on an IV immediately and when she finally began recuperating and eating a bit more, Downtown’s foster went to the hospital two and three times a day to hand feed her. Thankfully, she and Cookie both recovered and had a chance to get some well-deserved R&R at one of the group’s foster homes. Recently we received a wonderful update that both of them had been adopted! We were happy we could help Downtown Dog Rescue and truly want to thank them for what they are doing for shelter dogs in Los Angeles.
