Hallie – Adopted
Hallie is Home
You may remember Hallie, who joined the Springboard family around three months ago after being surrendered to us when her previous owner ignored veterinary advice regarding her eyes, leaving her at risk of losing them.
She was welcomed into foster by Ella and her family in the North East — and from that moment on, everything changed for this beautiful girl.
Through surgeries, recovery and learning how to feel safe again, Ella and her family stood by Hallie every step of the way. She received endless love, patience and care, and with the help of foster furbro Stanley, she quickly learnt routine, confidence and how to simply enjoy being a dog again.
So when Ella and her family asked if they could adopt Hallie… how could we possibly say no?
Hallie had already been through enough in her short life, and it was clear she had already found her forever home.
We’d like to say a huge congratulations to Ella, Scott, Lisa and Stanley on the adoption of Hallie. Thank you for giving this special girl the happy ending she always deserved.
We wish you many happy years together as a family.
Hallie’s Story
Please meet Hallie… a beautiful 2-year-old girl who has been terribly let down by the people who were meant to care for her
Despite everything she has been through, she is already showing us that she still wants love and is willing to trust again.
Today Hallie attended her emergency appointment with the eye specialist, where they were able to properly assess the damage to her eyes.
The specialist confirmed that Hallie has severe eyelid issues affecting both eyes. She will need bilateral entropion surgery on her upper eyelids, along with tightening surgery on her lower eyelids to correct what is known as “diamond eye”. Because her eyelids have been sitting incorrectly, they have been constantly rubbing against her eyes and preventing them from staying properly lubricated, causing irritation, ulcers and significant pain.
Sadly one eye is worse than the other, but the specialist is hopeful she may regain some vision in the better eye once the surgery relieves the pressure and rubbing
Hallie is scheduled for surgery tomorrow morning, which will reposition and tighten her eyelids so they can finally protect her eyes
This will be just the first step in her treatment, and she will need to return for further care once she has healed
She has now started medicated eye drops and pain relief to help ease the suffering she has clearly been living with for far too long. Her vet bills are already mounting up, and we have set up a fundraiser to help support her specialist treatment
For now Hallie is safe in foster with Ella and her parents Lisa and Scott, along with their resident Frenchie Stanley
Thank you for stepping forward to help our beautiful girl. Welcome to safety, Hallie. Your new life starts now.
