Princess – In Foster – South East
Meet the beautiful Princess.
Princess holds a very special place in GBSR’s history as our 750th rescue. It should have been a celebration, but instead, her journey with us has begun with heartbreak.
Princess was surrendered due to changes in her family’s personal circumstances. We kindly ask that there is no judgement. Sometimes life changes in ways that are beyond our control, and the most important thing is that her family made the incredibly difficult decision to ensure she would be safe and properly cared for.
The moment we received the call, our wonderful volunteers Sherill and Andy didn’t hesitate. They collected Princess immediately, giving her somewhere safe to stay before she made the journey to her long-term foster home with the amazing Julie in the South East.
From the moment she arrived, it was clear that Princess wasn’t well.
Yesterday, she had her first veterinary examination, and the results were far from what we had hoped.
Princess has blood in her urine and a painful urinary tract infection. She is also suffering from diarrhoea, a chronic ear infection and painful skin that requires ongoing treatment. She also has entropion, a painful eyelid condition that will require surgery in the future.
Princess is now on pain relief, a prescription urinary diet and medicated skin treatment. She will return to the vets on Friday for an extensive urine work-up so that we can establish exactly what is going on and ensure she receives the appropriate treatment.
Despite everything she has been through, Princess has done nothing but wag her tail.
She leans in for cuddles, follows her foster mum around the house and still finds the energy to show off her cheeky little personality. She is simply the sweetest girl, and it is heartbreaking to think she may have been living with this level of discomfort for some time.
Today, we’re asking for your help.
Princess’s veterinary bill already stands at £785, and this is only the beginning. We expect her treatment costs to reach around £2,000 as her investigations and ongoing care continue.
Every donation, no matter how small, will go directly towards Princess’s care, including veterinary investigations, medication, prescription urinary food, medicated shampoo and ear treatment, ongoing treatment and, eventually, surgery for her entropion.
She may be our 750th rescue, but to Princess, she isn’t a number.
She is a little girl who is finally safe, surrounded by people who care about her, and now she needs all of us to help give her the care and comfort she deserves.
Thank you, as always, for standing beside GBSR and the dogs who need us most. Together, we can make sure Princess receives every bit of care she deserves.
Welcome to the GBSR family, Princess. You never have to face this alone again.
