About this Dog
Margie is a sweet Shetland Sheepdog Sheltie/Australian Shepherd mix girl weighing in at 46 pounds. Paws and Prayers received her after she and her sister were hit by a car. Another rescue took her sister. Margie limped and had a luxated patella so we took her to access possible surgery. Unfortunately when blood work was completed she had all three tick diseases with a finding of 467. The three kind of tick diseases were Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichiosis and Lyme. A reading of 30 means they are experiencing problems with the tick disease so three vets wer talked to had NEVER seen 467 and referred the findings to specialty vets who said it was not a time for surgery.. Also, she had a corona virus in her blood. Surgery could not be completed under these circumstances. If the leg was operated on it would probably get infected and would be of no use. So we waited and she had several doses of antibiotics. It took 5 months to clear her blood but by that time scar tissue formed on the leg and she would not get much relief from surgery. She will always have a little bit of a limp and need medication as arthritis will probably set in as she gets older. She will need Carprofen and Gabapentin the rest of her life. Her foster mom has been paying for it and says it would cost about $33 a month. She would also need to be checked in another six months to verify extent of tick disease and recovery rate. And of course, she will need to be on heartworm and flea medications. Definitely needs a home without too many steps. Margie is frightened of new people but once she bonds with you , she will love so deeply, you will never be able to let her go. Her adoption fee is $350. You will need to do a non-obligatory application at www.pawsandprayers.org in order to meet her. Any questions, email [email protected].

Adopt Margie SPECIAL NEEDS and Receive Margie SPECIAL NEEDS's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Margie SPECIAL NEEDS's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Margie SPECIAL NEEDS's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Margie SPECIAL NEEDS, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Margie SPECIAL NEEDS's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Margie SPECIAL NEEDS was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Margie SPECIAL NEEDS’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Margie SPECIAL NEEDS’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Margie SPECIAL NEEDS’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
