Tyra - A Dog in Need! 
Click on the pictures to enlarge them.
Tyra has been in hospice care since June 2008. She was picked up as a stray by a shelter in Maryland and turned over to DAR&E in June 2006. She was estimated to be 1 year old.
Tyra had a significant congenital deformity in her right hind leg which caused her to have very little thigh muscle mass in the leg and to walk improperly. Should the defect not be corrected, Tyra would likely develop substantial hip/knee arthritis in the leg. It was decided that corrective surgery was in her best interest. Although the surgery was a success, the experience unfortunately left her terrifed of veterinarians and being handled by strangers. Her intense fear and possible developing health issues surrounding her leg detered adopters. DAR&E and her foster parent decided in June 2008 to hospice her.
UPDATE: December 2009 Tyra continues to do well in her hospice home as long as she doesn't need to visit the vet.

***Please do not split your donation among several dogs. Paypal deducts a fee for each transaction which means less monies going to help our dogs. While we do track the donations to the different dog funds, the donations still all wind up in the same place.
