💔 Help Save Pretty Pittie Princess: She's Fought Too Hard to Give Up Now 🐾❤️Help us give Princess the heartworm treatment and second chance she deserves.Y'all, we'd like you to meet somebody very special. Her name is Pretty Pitty Princess, or just Pitty as we've all come to know and love her. She's a beautiful, loving girl with a whole lot of personality, and Lord knows she's had one hard road. After everything this poor girl has survived, we're determined to help her get healthy and finally have the happy ending she's been waiting so long for.Princess has already spent MONTHS of her life fighting to survive, recovering, and waiting for somebody to choose her. Now she needs our help one more time. ❤️💔 Where Princess's story beganPrincess originally came from Benton County, Tennessee, after suffering from a serious neglect situation. When she was taken into veterinary care, she was dealing with severe mange, skin and ear infections, parasites, and a rectal prolapse that required surgery. On top of everything else, she was also heartworm positive.Her original owner ended up going to jail, leaving Princess behind at the veterinary office. The folks there took her under their wing and began the long process of getting her healthy again. There were medications, treatments, surgery, and a whole lot of time and patience involved.Princess spent MONTHS at that veterinary office before she ever got the opportunity to be adopted.Eventually, somebody came along and gave Princess a chance. Everybody hoped that after everything she'd been through, she was finally headed somewhere she could call home.Unfortunately, that adoption didn't work out.Princess was returned right back to the same veterinary office where she'd already spent so much of her life.And there she stayed for MONTHS longer, waiting for another family that never came.❤️ The people who refused to give up on herThen the veterinary office closed its doors. One of the employees who had spent months caring for Princess couldn't bear the thought of sending her back to the county animal shelter, especially knowing what her future might look like there.So she did what she felt was right. She took Princess home herself.For nearly a month, Princess has been loved, spoiled, and cared for in that home. She has had her own bed, her favorite toys, plenty of affection, and somebody determined to see her get the life she deserves.Unfortunately, her caregiver also has five cats, and Princess has a strong prey drive. To keep everybody safe, Princess has had to stay separated from the other animals. This has meant rearranging everyday life, spending extra time at home, and even missing work.And y'all, we all know life doesn't stop just because somebody is trying to do a good thing. The bills still come, groceries still need buying, and we've all got to make a living.But through everything, the people caring for Princess have remained determined to find this girl a home.Princess is now being cared for between two temporary homes in Benton and Humphreys County. Both caregivers have jobs, other animals, and responsibilities of their own. They're doing everything they can to keep Princess safe, but unfortunately, these arrangements cannot continue forever.🐾 Now let us tell you about the Princess we've gotten to know!Y'all, if you could spend just one evening with this girl, you'd understand why we're fighting so hard for her!Princess is a spayed, house-trained girl weighing around 51 pounds, with enough personality for three dogs!She absolutely LOVES belly rubs, squeaky toys, playing fetch, splashing around in water, and being right beside her people.And when bedtime rolls around, you better make some room! 😂 Princess is a professional bed hog who will cuddle right up beside you, stretch herself across the bed, and make sure nobody gets cold because she's her own little space heater!She's also made herself a buddy in her temporary foster home, a 30-pound former Humane Society dog named Gremlin. These two have been getting along wonderfully during supervised time together.We've learned that Princess believes she ought to be everybody's number one girl. If somebody else is getting petted, she's going to make sure nobody forgets about her! She'll practically climb over her buddy like she's saying, "Excuse me, I believe you were supposed to be loving on ME!" 😂Princess loves energetic play and has the personality of a young Lab. Once her veterinarian clears her for more activity, she'd likely enjoy a companion with a similar play style. She'd probably be just as happy being somebody's one and only spoiled princess!She can be a little cautious around unfamiliar people, especially certain men, but with patience and a gentle introduction, she warms up and shows that sweet personality.She isn't just a dog with a sad medical history. She's funny, affectionate, playful, and full of love. And she's still got so much life ahead of her.❤️ Why we're raising money for PrincessUnfortunately, Princess is HEARTWORM POSITIVE.And that's a diagnosis that has made finding a home for her even harder.But folks, please understand that heartworm disease is TREATABLE! It's a serious condition that requires proper veterinary care, medication, monitoring, and restricted activity, but many dogs go on to live long, happy lives after successful treatment.Princess deserves that opportunity too.Humphreys County Humane Society has offered to help pay for and arrange Princess's heartworm treatment. We're starting this fundraiser to help cover those veterinary expenses and support the medical care needed to get her healthy.Donations will help support her veterinarian-approved heartworm treatment plan, which may include diagnostic testing, medications, treatment appointments, and follow-up care.We're not asking people to donate because Princess isn't worth the expense. We're asking because she IS worth it, and we want our community to be part of giving her that chance.Every dollar donated toward her care helps support the effort to get this girl healthy.But please understand something else.🏡 Princess still desperately needs a foster home!Our number one goal is to find Princess a safe FOSTER HOME where she can receive her heartworm treatment and recover.She needs a calm, loving environment with somebody willing to follow her veterinarian's instructions while she gets better.There are some important things any prospective foster or adopter needs to understand:<ul><li>ABSOLUTELY NO CATS OR SMALL ANIMALS. Princess has a strong prey drive and cannot safely live with cats, chickens, rabbits, birds, ferrets, or other small pets.</li><li>Princess can climb and clear fences. Proper leash handling, supervision, and secure containment are necessary.</li><li>Other dogs would need careful, supervised introductions.</li><li>Princess will need restricted physical activity while undergoing heartworm treatment.</li></ul>We would also absolutely welcome an experienced rescue organization or permanent adopter who wants to help her!Distance doesn't have to stop us. We're willing to help coordinate transportation and meetups, even across state lines, to get Princess to the right approved home or rescue.And Princess won't be going empty-handed! She'll come with a bag of food, her very own dog bed, a whole bag of toys including her favorites, and plenty of treats. This girl is already spoiled rotten, and we have no intention of letting that stop! ❤️💔 Why time matters so muchPrincess is originally a Benton County dog. Although Humphreys County Humane Society is helping coordinate her care and placement, we simply don't have the kennel space or ability to bring an out-of-county dog into our shelter.If her current caregivers can no longer continue, Princess may have to return to Benton County Animal Shelter.We've been warned by multiple people that because of limited shelter space, Princess could face euthanasia shortly after returning. There is no confirmed date, but that possibility is something we're taking very seriously.And y'all, after everything this poor girl has been through, we simply cannot stand the thought of her story ending that way.She's already survived neglect. She's survived serious medical problems and surgery. She's spent months waiting, finally been adopted, been returned, and then lost the veterinary office that had cared for her for so long.And yet, somehow, she's still the same sweet, silly girl who gets excited when somebody walks through the door, loves a good belly rub, and wants nothing more than to curl up beside somebody who loves her.She has no idea how many people are fighting for her, or how uncertain her future still is.❤️ Please help us give Princess the future she deservesY'all, we don't want to be writing a goodbye post for Princess.We want to be sharing pictures of her getting healthy, stretched out on somebody's couch, being spoiled rotten, and finally living the life she's waited so long for.We want her next trip to be the one that takes her somewhere she can stay.Princess has people willing to love her, help with transportation, arrange her treatment, and fight for her future. Now she needs a community willing to stand behind her.If you can spare $5, $10, $25, or anything at all, please consider making a donation toward Princess's heartworm treatment.If you can't donate, please share her fundraiser.And if you can offer a safe foster home, please reach out. Giving Princess somewhere to recover could be just as important as helping pay for her treatment.From Humphreys County Humane Society and especially the caregivers who have spent so much time loving and fighting for this girl, THANK Y'ALL from the bottom of our hearts.Princess has been given up on enough in her life.Please help us make sure the rest of her story is filled with love, healing, and a second chance. She's fought too hard and waited too long for anything less. 💔❤️🐾Humphreys County Humane Society108 Young Road, Waverly, TN 37185Shelter: (931) 296-7319Email: <a href="mailto:hchumane2012@gmail.com" target="_blank">hchumane2012@gmail.com</a>Princess Pitty | HCHS Animal Record #881Interested in fostering, adopting, or helping with transportation?Call or text: (615) 495-4811 or (931) 264-2137Additional caregiver: (717) 371-5500Email: <a href="mailto:mason.staggs@humphreyshumane.org" target="_blank">mason.staggs@humphreyshumane.org</a>Help us get Princess healthy.
