Your Love Unleashed Friends and Supporters:💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 We are asking for your help, please, in a multitude of ways, after Brandy was mauled by one of the rescue dogs on Saturday, Oct. 28th. She now has a long road ahead healing from this grievous injury. Here is a detailed description of what happened. (If you don’t want to read about the attack - please skip past the next three paragraphs.) The rescue dog in question had the preceding energy of killed prey - a rabbit, then encountered the explosive nature in which the neighbor’s intact dog approaches the fence. He was protecting the fence, and he had already redirected two other dogs when she attempted to correct his behavior and redirect his energy away from the fence. Instead of walking away, he latched on to Brandy’s right forearm and would not let go. He took her off her feet, and drug her approximately 25 feet. Another rescue dog was biting the back legs of the attacking dog in order to protect Brandy, but this only seemed to fuel the attack. At this point, Brandy was able to use her left hand to pull the dog’s collar tightly to get him to release his grip. Brandy’s left hand was also bit five times at this point. Brandy directed Lori, who had just witnessed the whole traumatic scene, to quickly grab a leash. She did - and Brandy attached it to the dog’s collar and had Lori pull the dog away from Brandy and her face. Brandy then was able to get up and put the dog in his kennel. As a result, Brandy has a 20 inch laceration, and the medical term is that she was “degloved” from arm to wrist. Her 33 stitches were a “proximal repair” - meaning that she should have had four times that many, but they had to leave lots of room in between for drainage and swelling. Her healing time has now been further complicated by the fact that she will have to have another surgery to open the wound and de-bride it, and remove the dead skin, and then she will need to have multiple skin grafts to repair the tissue that is not going to survive on her arm. All of the above, and the fact that Brandy is right-handed, and the fact that she, along with Lori - and often Tosha, are basically the work force at the rescue make at least the next couple of months extremely daunting. Lori and Tosha have day jobs, as well - so the need for help is going to be great. A normal day at the rescue, taking care of the dogs can include: feeding, watering, cleaning, disinfecting, supervising, poop-scooping, food replenishment, dispensing of meds, giving puppy shots, deworming puppies, bathing - and the basic duty of loving on the pups. The rescue is going to need volunteers to help with all of the above. Other ideas could include: helping take profile pictures, help with social media, and help on trash dump day. Information will be coming regarding sign-ups for these tasks. We have set up the following fundraiser on Zeffy - a platform that gives 100% of your donation directly to the rescue - for those who would like to donate. Our first order of business will be purchasing black-paneled privacy fencing for the chain link fence along the neighbor’s property. The quote for that is $7,000, for materials and labor, which is the cheapest alternative. If this does not completely solve the problem, then the rescue would erect a wooden fence in front of the chain link fence.(All donations are tax deductible, and when you donate, you will receive info for your taxes via email.) In addition, Brandy now will lose all of her boarding income for the time being. She cannot take in additional dogs, and she is not able to raise funds through microchip and vaccination clinics. Funds are being raised via MealTrain, if you feel more inclined to donate there. <a href="https://www.mealtrain.com/trains/vkdqe8">https://www.mealtrain.com/trains/vkdqe8</a> Thank you so much for anything you can do to help, and please share, if you feel so inclined.  With gratitude,Your Love Unleashed 💜💜💜
