Dear Terrier Club friends - I apologize for not keeping you updated on our rescue efforts. Thank you for all you continue to do for the Cairns and Westies in need. I'm am forwarding a few updates on new "kids" coming into Col. Potter and ask for your prayers for these dogs who need a little extra right now.

PRAYERS NEED FOR CP'S NEWEST FURKID - MIRACLE
----
We were contacted by a local rescue group in Wichita, KS that there was a Cairn in the Wichita Animal Shelter that had been attacked by two Pit Bulls and surrendered by the owner. We only had sketchy details and weren't able to get back in touch with the local rescue group. After some investigation and several phone calls, we found the Cairn in question.
This poor boy had been at the shelter since Friday with no medical care as the shelter can't afford such amenities. The shelter vet had been in on Monday morning and said that if a rescue group didn't pull him immediately and get him medical attention, that he would need to be put down due to his injuries.
We immediately made arrangements to get him pulled and taken directly to a vet who was standing by to examine him and give us a report. Initial exam had to be done while he was put under in order to be able to fully evaluate his injuries without causing him any further pain. First report received was that he has a 3" diameter hole on the front of his left front leg and 1" hole on the back of his left front leg that at some point, probably intersect and that his wounds were all covered by magots from being left untreated and dirty. The vet asked did we want them to continue on, or just stop now and PTS. They hadn't even had a chance to examine too much else of him or do any internal examination because of the dirt, filth and magots on him.
Col. Potter will give this boy every chance to make a full recovery, get to a foster home and eventually to a forever home that will love and care for him like he should have been. We'll be checking back in with the vet treating him today and will report back with an update. In the meantime, please say a prayer for this boy that he has the strength and will to survive, in other words, let's hope he hasn't lost his Cairn spirit ... He needs a miracle and Col. Potter is in the business of miracles, and so we name him Miracle. Prayers for Miracle!
