August 15, 2012: First, we’d like to thank everyone on Facebook, Twitter and our blog for following Arli’s story. She is now recuperating at our Boston Animal Care and Adoption Center where our veterinary team is treating a number of conditions including severe dermatitis and mild dental disease, and she is being monitored for a urinary tract infection and bladder stones. We are also carefully screening her for potential eye problems and autoimmune disease.
She is receiving antibiotics and is being gently bathed with special therapeutic shampoo to soothe her painful, itchy skin. Yet, she eagerly awaits treats from passersby when she visits League staff member Debby Vogel’s office. Despite being a little itchy and sore, she is slowly finding her confidence and will happily get nose-to-nose with visitors who bend down to greet her. Some even receive a kiss on the face. Please check back for updates on her progress.
Please help us cover the cost of Arli’s care by making a gift today.
Keep going little girl!
How can you not support this little girl. Thank God she was found.
I am so grateful! My heart has been aching these past few days for poor little Arli! Even with all of her skin issues, you could tell just by looking at that sweet face what a beautiful dog she is! I immediately passed this along on Facebook and sent it to my boyfriend so we could donate money and he then passed it along to his co-workers and some of them donated as well! She will leave a beautiful life because of all of you!
Thanks to everyone for their kind words about Arli, and please know how much we appreciate the donations for her care. Your kindness really means a lot to us. I saw her this morning and the special shampoo is helping – her skin is still raw but is looking better. There is even some fur growing back in. You can tell she’s feeling better. Please keep the positive thoughts for her coming! We’ll continue to give you updates on her progress.
