She Rescued Two Older Pomeranians From A Backyard Breeder And She Knew That One Dog Had Health Issues, But The Second Dog Broke Her Leg Being Transported To Her

Fanwood, New Jersey. A woman named Angela who lives in New Jersey adopted two older Pomeranians not that long ago.

Both dogs are 9-years-old and they previously lived in Louisiana, where they were part of a backyard breeding operation before they were both rescued.

Angela says both of these girls are full of energy and affection, and they’re just kind-hearted dogs.

Before Angela agreed to adopt her dogs, she knew that one of them named Buffy was wheezing and also had a mass inside of her that required more testing.

“We have an appointment to get her checked out, and are bracing for possible cancer,” Angela wrote on a GoFundMe page.

“That we were semi-warned of. However, Rigatoni/ Rigi (formally Rikki) was supposed to be fine.”

“We have her vet records from literally two weeks ago before she let the state. She arrived with a broken leg, clean in two places.”

“Must have happened in transport but they are denying accountability. Our vet referred us to an orthopedic specialist and turns out she ALSO has a grade 5 heart murmur. She is such a champ, still hobbling around to greet us and get pets.”

That’s definitely a lot more than Angela signed on for, or was aware of, but she’s keeping both girls regardless of all of their issues.

Now, Rigatoni will require more testing on her heart, in addition to surgery. The estimated costs of Rigatoni’s vet bills alone will be $6,000, but on top of that, Angela has to begin to make sure Buffy’s mass is investigated then taken care of, and that’s going to cost a lot of money as well.

“This is a complete curveball as we adopted these dogs and again were prepared for some health issues, but not an additional ortho surgery,” Angela said.

“We don’t want to give up on her. She has the lapdog mentality of any typical Pomeranian, she loves to love and we are not sure that’s ever been reciprocated for her.”

“We have embraced her and are going to give her the best life possible because she truly deserves it, and any help for us to be able to do that is appreciated.”

Angela has set her goal on GoFundMe to $6,000, though if she happens to raise more than that, it will be used for Buffy’s upcoming vet bills.
