This is Quincy. We discovered her wandering the dirt roads near our animal shelter - BuckHawk Center. Tagging behind her were 3 young pups still nursing. We took her and her daughters in. Quincy was a love of a dog, but she had a problem. She had the uterine infection that sometimes come from giving birth. The vet rushed her to emergency surgery to save her life. This condition, if left untreated, can cause death. Quincy was in bad shape. Her pups were at least 10 weeks old! That beautiful brave new mother was about to give her life for her pups. She has been with us now for a year and is healthy, happy and loving. She is available for adoption, through the BuckHawk Center, but she does have a pit bull breed mix in her. She deserves a great life and if no one can step up to give her that life, we will continue to consider her one of our darlings.
