Hannah was rescued from a busy city shelter in Los Angeles, where her life was in danger due to critical overcrowding.  She had been badly neglected and was suffering from numerous untreated medical conditions.  She had no hope of being adopted in Los Angeles, so she was flown to British Columbia where she could be given a second chance at life.  Hannah was in rough shape when she came into our care.  She was suffering from dry eye and her eyes were badly infected; she had already lost some of her vision because the condition had been ignored for so long.  Hannah had never been spayed and she had several mammary tumors, one of which was quite large.  The tumors were removed when Hannah was spayed and thankfully they were benign.  Hannah was in need of dental care and her ears were extremely filthy and infected.  She was also in the early stages of heart failure and was suffering from lung congestion, but she responded well to medication.  Hannah spent four months in foster care receiving the medical treatment that she needed along with some well deserved TLC from her dedicated foster mom.  After spending months nursing Hannah back to health, her foster mom decided to adopt her as a permanent member of the family.  Hannah is enjoying her new life on Vancouver Island and her medical needs will never again be ignored.
