Clara – In foster – Midlands

WARNING LONG & HEARTBREAKING POST

In the shadowed corners of despair, Clara emerged—a fragile soul battered by life’s cruelty. Our hearts ache as we introduce her, our newest member at Geordie Bullies Springboard Rescue (GBSR). Brace yourself; this story is a raw wound, seeping with neglect and outright abuse.

Her former owners faced their own loss—their home slipping away. Instead of safeguarding Clara, they heartlessly abandoned her alongside two other dogs. Imagine the loneliness she endured during those uncertain days.

Three long months in a kennel followed—a desolate existence. The company that initially covered her expenses withdrew their support, suggesting she be put to sleep. But we couldn’t bear it. Clara deserved more—a chance at life beyond suffering.

We don’t know her exact age, but her eyes tell a tale of suffering etched across time. We knew to expect a poor little soul, but nothing could prepare our admin team for the heartache we all now face.

Clara a skeletal figure, her body bearing the scars of repeated pregnancies. Her skin, once vibrant, now raw and sore from malnutrition and untreated infections. But it’s her ears—swollen shut, ravaged by prolonged neglect—that reveal the true extent of her pain.

Enter Ian and Matthew, our angels. They rescued Clara from the kennel, granting her respite and an urgent vet appointment. The diagnosis tore at our hearts: Clara is a very poorly little girl. Vet bills loom—potentially exceeding £10,000. The list of ailments reads like a litany of neglect:

TACA (Total Ear Canal Ablation): Her ears, damaged by years of infection, require removal. The pain will be excruciating.

HIP DYSPLASIA: X-rays will reveal the extent of damage. Total hip replacement may be necessary.

Dry eye, secondary skin infections, and overall body deterioration.

Clara’s suffering is prolonged neglect, outright abuse. She’s borne many litters, yet not a single penny went toward her well-being. Instead, they exploited her pain.

Clara’s journey won’t be easy. Vet visits, treatments—the road ahead is steep
