05/17/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: I immediately thought of Old Yeller when I saw Ginger Snap. It was so striking that it blurred my vision of the shape this poor girl really was in. Indeed, Ginger Snap, an elderly Labrador Pittie mix, is quite run down. She was found in a park, very weak, barely able to walk, dehydrated, and unable to eat anything. Her eyes were blurry with a yellow discharge. She was immediately attended to by our medical staff and I was able to walk her slowly but surely to the yard. Gingersnap is dull, aloof, obviously not herself. She does not want me to clean her eyes but she accepts a scarf around her neck and my caresses. After a while spent together, she comes when I call her and even sits on command. She does not care for even the tastier treats. Other dogs in adjacent pens do not really pick up her curiosity. She sits or lays across me, subdued. Her body and mind are trying to stay afloat. Moving the least possible, resting is the wiser thing to do for the time being. Gingersnap must have been a beautiful dog while in her prime. Her care seems to have been quite dismal. She has had her share of litters. Not the life of a pampered pet… the wheel of fortune can turn. You can step in, give her a chance and take her home to let her recover and be the companion she should have been in the first place. Gingersnap is at the Manhattan Care Center, waiting for her savior.
