Biography
On April 19, 2024, CPR was the lead agency in the largest number seizure that we have ever handled. We utilized the help of 5 sister rescues to move 110 dogs out of their breeder's kennels and into rescues in a single day. The saying "it took a village" was never more appropriate than that day. We are grateful to everyone who assisted.
On that day, on a porch that was blocked by pieces of tin to keep the dogs in, I saw a frantic black hairless blur trying to climb those walls. I was not even 10' close to her but she was frantically trying to get away, just in case I came close. "She has newborn puppies" the breeder told me. And then "she's a little different." Since she was technically "in" the house, she was not mine. We were to take the ones in the kennels. I turned away...knowing that today I could not help that one. I was not even sure we could help that one ever even if we got her. But she stayed on my mind.
Over the next 6 weeks, we received several calls from the breeder to get more dogs. There had been litters born to dogs in the house and dogs in the house they had realized it was better to pass on to rescue after all. One of those dates was just 10 days after the first group came in. This time, the black blur came to us.
She was hairless but not "naked." She was covered - in sarcoptic mange. By 4/29/24, we knew we had mange in most of the dogs so we were expecting it. Ping was the worse. She was bald but it was not beautiful - I began to wonder if part of the severe behavior problems we ere seeing stemmed from one very simple cause. Intense pain. I have eczema. I know what it feels like to itch unbearably and no matter how hard you scratch, that itch does not change. It just gets worse.
