It is so nice to see people stepping up for these Special Needs Labs. The economy has been so bad, we haven’t had many adoptions, this gives us HOPE to continue pulling the Special Needs and the Black Labs of Indiana. Thank you so much Bendorfeanus!

Mimi’s story is very sad. Her owners were an older couple and the wife had accidentally backed over her with a car while backing out of the driveway when Mimi was a small puppy, which severely damaged her right front leg. The veterinarian was able to save the leg, but it has a bent deformity in the lower portion of the leg, which does not appear to bother her at all. She runs and plays just fine and loves people as well as other dogs and puppies. The vets said there is no more that can be done to help Mimi’s bum leg. We have all of her medical records now and you are welcome to see them.

Shortly after her owners had her leg fixed, they were involved in a severe car crash and the woman died. Due to no one able to care for Mimi, she was surrendered to the shelter by, one of their adult children. This poor dog and her family have had a plethora of tragedies. Mimi really needs a loving home after all that she has been thru!

This is Maggie (fka Mimi on the left) and her brother, Snickers.  Maggie is doing great.  She did hurt herself and have to go to the vet, her shoulder is not inside the socket.  But no surgery needed yet.
