We have a surprise that came with our last transport....a greyhound puppy!!! Her name is Gia and she was playing with her litter mates a little too rough and ended up breaking her leg. The good news is that it's a chip and will hopefully heal quickly. She is on pain medication and has a splint and needs crate rest for about 4 weeks. She has had an initial vet visit with x-rays and will need a follow up. This is an unexpected expense but how could we say no to that cute little face
We are asking for donations to go toward her medical costs. If we end up making anything above her costs for her medical care, that would be a HUGE help and will go toward the medical care for her 25 other friends who made the trip to Maine with her.
Please visit our Facebook Page send a check to MGPS, ATTN Dawn Curtis 231 Old Belgrade Rd, Augusta, ME 04330--with Puppy Gia on the subject line or donate by clicking here
**GIA IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION**~ Please do not call asking for information about adopting Gia at this time as she hasn't been medically cleared. Thank you for your cooperation Dawn
