Delilah's Health Fund
Delilah was purchased from a back yard breeder when she was just 6 weeks old. Her new owner was thrilled with her little bundle of fur and promised Delilah she would take the best possible care of her.
Her owner has done a great job raising Delilah. Delilah is everything a Great Pyrenees should be - friendly, docile, very sweet. Delilah loves her family members of all species and ages.
As Delilah and her family entered their third year together, Life happened. Her owner was diagnosed with major health problems. Realistically knowing she was no longer able to care for "her girl" - in fact soon may not be able to care for herself - her owner made the difficult decision to surrender Delilah to rescue on the condition Delilah NEVER see the inside of an animal shelter where there may be a chance she would be euthanized.
Lone Star Pyrs and Paws stepped in, despite the founder's own personal journey with her 3 yr old Pyrenees who has cancer. The day Delilah arrived in Paige's care, we discovered beautiful Delilah has major hip problems on both hips. Walking is difficult for her. One leg is turned in slightly, making each step very painful. Delilah is also heartworm positive, a fact that was surprising to her owner as she has always tried to be consistent on heartworm preventative.
LSPP made a promise to the family to care for Delilah, which will be honored. However, the expenses of Paige's battle with her Pyrenees' cancer has drained the family budget. Unexpected, possible multiple surgeries to correct Delilah's hips is going to be costly. A commitment has been made not only to Delilah's family but also to Paige's personal Pyr who has cancer. There just isn't enough money to go around without assistance.
Can you help us help Delilah?
