My Nonprofit Reviews

I adopted Lilia in August of 2015. She came from somewhere down south. I had lost my beloved Pom in May 2014 and I couldn't bear to even look at poms . One day I saw a picture of Lilia on line and something in her face drew me to her. I adopted her upon meeting her in Pa. I loved the fact that she was in a foster home prior to adoption. It makes the transition so much easier. Unfortunately, Lilia came with several medical issues, some of which went un-noticed by previous vets down south and in Pa. She had a dislocated hip for an extended period of time and had to be operated on immediately after I adopted her. She was also diagnosed with a level 5 heart murmur and requires 5 medications daily for the rest of her life. All of this does not matter at all to me. I only adopt senior dogs, and they almost always come with issues. What does bother me is that the rescue never offered to help pay for her surgery which cost $1200. I sent them an email and never heard back from them.. I have been in the rescue world for 9 years and our rescue always paid for medical issues when a new adoptee was diagnosed with something that our vet may have missed.
I love my Lilia with all my heart. She is funny, stubborn, opinionated and loving. I would never have not adopted her due to medical issues. I just wish I would have had the entire picture of her health before hand. I'm still very happy that she is part of my family. She is only 9 so I hope we have many years left together.
