FUNDS NEEDED FOR NISHA'S TRAUMA CARE!
Nisha was hit by a car and left to die. Who knows how long she was lying there suffering. We had no idea if we could help her, but a volunteer rushed her to trauma care this afternoon, so we could at least try. She's pretty banged up and cannot move anything on her left side. The vet determined she has torn ligaments in her left hind leg and a brachial plexus injury in her left front. They can repair her back leg, but she will most likely not recover from the nerve damage to her front. We'll wait a few days to see if the swelling goes down, and she can recover any sensation in front. The most likely outcome is amputation of her front leg. To recover from her injuries, she will need to undergo TPLO surgery and remain in ER care for at least a week to learn how to walk again.
She will require extensive rehab as she is 75 lbs, and trying to walk after TPLO surgery is difficult enough when the other three legs are working correctly. Despite all of this and the lengthy rehab time, her prognosis is very good. We honestly can't believe it. We only had the photos of her by the side of the road and were cautiously hopeful, but then we received her ER photos, and we know we have to help her. Please help us help her. We need to raise at least $5,000 to offset the costs of her care. Please donate for "Nisha".
Thank you for helping save these precious lives!

Thank you supporters for voting us Best of DC for a sixth year! None of this happens without our amazing volunteers and donors. Your endless dedication to our mission means the world to us and to all the lives you've saved.
We have an amazing network of volunteers, supporters, adopters, and donors who have enabled us to rescue and adopt out over 5,000 cats and dogs in just 7 years!
Readers say: "CDR cares deeply about all of the animals that go through the rescue, going above and beyond to rescue dogs that would otherwise be euthanized, place them with families that are in it for the long haul, and offer support after adoption. Just this week I saw the entire CDR community pull together to find a lost CDR alum who ultimately was returned safe and sound." Thank you for this honor!
