Indiana: Cocker thrown from car, UPDATE
Bambi made it through her critical period! Bambi had surgery Monday to repair a fractured pelvic bone receiving six screws and a metal plate. Her recovery will take 8 weeks and she may have permanent weakness in her left hind leg. She suffered nerve damage causing her to drag that foot. It’s likely she will always have chronic pain or numbess in that leg. Bambi’s surgery was estimated at $6,000. If you would like to make a donation please visit the Shamrock Foundation.
No one has been charged yet with this crime although the authorities have a “person of interest.” The Humane Society of River Valley, Indiana is offering a reward leading towards the arrest and conviction of persons responsible.

Do you know of a cocker in need?
Please contact me (see link at bottom of page) if you know of a cocker spaniel who is in need of assistance and I’ll gladly include it on our home page and on facebook. It’s incredibly easy to add updates to our home page now. Robin of Oklahoma Cocker Rescue had contacted me of a sad case before updating our home page. The owner had died leaving a cocker spaniel named Mocha with no one to care for her. She was brought in to a veterinarian to be put to sleep. Reading her story motivated me to learn WordPress and update our home page. It’s weeks later and I completely forgot to add Mocha’s story. I have no idea of her fate.
If you do contact me about a cocker in need, please include as much information as possible especially and contact email or phone number to be included with your story. Also, social networks like facebook and Twitter are a great way to spread news fast.
