Take Me Home is pleased to share that we moved Liberty into her new foster home! She now knows the security of a stable home environment and the love and compassion of a wonderful foster mom.
In the past week since her rescue, Liberty has made critical strides in her medical condition; showing our veterinarian over and over again that quality of life is not far from reach for this young girl; that she will soon be able to live in a world with no pain or suffering. After one week of antibiotic treatment and proper care, Liberty’s vaginal hyperplasia has drastically improved and she is expected to make a full recovery from this condition following her spay surgery. The tumor on her nose that may have proven impossible to remove due to its large size and the fact that it is located on the center of her face, is beginning to respond to the injections she was given to shrink its size; and we are hopeful that it will be completely removed, along with the tumor on her leg, at the same time she is spayed. Liberty’s blood work also came back with very positive results, with the exception of an extremely low thyroid, which is completely treatable with daily medication. Her low thyroid explains her hair loss and dull coat, both of which will improve drastically now that she is getting the medication she needs.

As a rescue organization that takes responsibility for dogs with various medical ailments, we must always be consciences of the amount of medical procedures we can humanely ask a dog to endure; while taking into account whether or not those procedures will result in quality of life and the ability to place that dog into a loving home. And although it is simply inexcusable that Liberty’s owners allowed her to deteriorate to this degree, we are thankful that she made her way to us while she is still young, while her ailments are still treatable, and while we still have the opportunity to provide her with a happy, healthy life. Liberty celebrated leaving our vet's office with some of her new friends and TMH supporters, who brought care packages and saw her off to her new foster home.
The Reed Family, TMH SupportersLiberty’s surgery is scheduled on May 10 at which time we will take the next critical step in liberating her from her neglectful past. In the meantime, this once defeated and forgotten girl is already wagging her tail and giving licks of gratitude as she enjoys the comforts of the first real home she has ever known. So, from everyone on our team, we send our heartfelt gratitude and thanks to all who have made it possible to answer Liberty’s desperate plea: “Take Me Home!"
