Vizsla Rescue Fund, Inc.

The local rescue chair  got a frantic call from the York, PA SPCA on a Saturday morning just as she was  leaving for a dog event. They stated that a Vizsla had been hit by a car and was brought to them...they had no facilities to help this dog  so they sent her down to the York Emergency Clinic for care and that they did  not have the funds to support her and would the VCA rescue organization please  take her. She stated that she needed to verify that she was a Vizsla. Turned out she was indeed a V  and a very young dog - thought she might be 2 or 3 and indeed a very nice girl  who raised her head, looked up and wagged her tail slowly.....  So after many hours of phone calls and talking to many people, rescue chose to help  this girl all they could. VRF stepped in with substantial funds and she had her first operation on Saturday night to close an open wound in her groin and stomach area and fix a torn muscle in her  leg. The hard part was to come as her pelvis was also broken and they had  to wait for the bone doctor to come in on Monday  to fix her pelvis.
Lucy was back on the operating table Monday  afternoon to the tune of 5+ hours as the break was worse than the x-rays showed  and the doctor stated that her bones were very soft indicating that's she younger than first thought so that will help in the healing process. It will be a long recovery while she heals and regains muscle strength. She is doing a good job of winning over the medical staff.
VRF is grateful for your support so we can help in funding extraordinary cases when they occur.

UPDATE: Lucy has been adopted and is in her new forever home! Thanks for all the support in helping with this case.
