Southern Star: We were asked to take her from a small town after she was found in a trailer where her owner had overdosed and passed away. She had been in there for what they estimated was months. She was transported to us immediately, and we went into action. Southern Star was emaciated. But she also suffered from severe aspiration pneumonia. Once we were able to examine her, we found out she also had a megaesophagus. She seemed to be on the mend, and we thought she was out of the woods when we had ordered her a Bailey Chair. But …our hearts broke when her little body just couldn't regain strength because of the months of starvation.

Our sweet girl left this world knowing love like she never had before.

Fly high, Southern Star.
