Shannon says ADOPT ME!!

SHANNON

Shannon is a purebred female Soft
Coated Wheaten Terrier. Her estimated
DOB is 4/03

Shannon was rescued from a Commercial
Breeder and came in with Vinny, A nna Lu
and Rose. These dogs seem to be a lot
better socialized than a lot of the
breeder dogs we get into rescue. We got
tail wagging and kisses from them all.

SHANNON UPDATE

Shannon had two masses on her belly
that we originally thought were mammary
masses. When they went to take care of
the second one they found it was
actually a herniated area and the mass
was her uterus that had fallen out
through the hole and was only protected
by the skin around it. The uterus was
removed and the herniated area
repaired. They also deep cleaned her
ears, removed two bad teeth and
cleaned the remaining ones. She
was in surgery over 4 hours.

This girl has been in constant pain for
years. There should be a special place in
hell waiting for people who let dogs stay
this way.

The picture on the right shows the
surgical staples used to close her
wounds - you can see how extensive it
was.

Her belly appears to be dirty but that is
what it still looks like after she was
scrubbed down for surgery. She and the
others had been dirty and lying in filth
for so many years it is embedded in the
skin. In time a it will flake away as she
looses skin cells.

Shannon is very sweet and despite all
that people have done to her, she still
has a tail wag and kisses and loves to
get attention and be petted.

Thank you to everyone who has donated
to make it possible for us to help dogs
such as Shannon.

Shannon is spayed and up to date on
shots prior to adoption. She is located in
Kansas City, MO
