Haven is a four-year-old Great Pyrenees in Milford, OH, who needs $2,000 for emergency surgery.

One by One Animal Advocates tells Waggle they only found Haven by chance, and thank goodness they did. It all started as a routine call and ended like a scene from a horror movie!

The animal welfare group dispatched their volunteers to a yard in a rural area to pick up some unwanted puppies. After the volunteers arrived, they started walking around the property to ensure they found all the pups. That's when they saw a dog's leg lying in the yard! "Just retelling it makes you feel sick to your stomach," Heather A., with One by One Animal Advocates, says.

The leg belonged to Haven. "She did not have a great life," Heather says. "She was kept chained up outside next to a barbed-wire fence. She had gotten her hair tangled in the wire. The neighbor shot her in the leg. We don't know why. So the owner cut her leg off. We don't even know how. The pain Haven had to have endured. It's just too much to think through and fathom."

Heather tells Waggle Haven's owners said they could not afford veterinary care, so they did the best they could. "It's shocking, disturbing, and sad. We're all horrified," she says.

Haven's owners agreed to give her to One by One Animal Advocates' volunteers. They rushed her to Gallardo Family Animal Hospital.

Haven was in horrendous pain when she walked. So the medical team operated to remove some bone rubbing against her body from the botched amputation. She also had crummy teeth that needed to be removed and was spayed. Once Haven heals, she is anticipated to have a good outlook. She is in a foster home now recovering.

One by One Animal Advocates was not financially prepared to take on Haven's case, but there was no way the group would leave her behind. Now they're racing again, this time to raise the money to pay for all Haven's medical care.

"Haven's owners failed her," Heather says. "We need your help getting her every bit of help she needs. What she went through was terrible. We want to give her the best life in the future."
