Countess, 3-legged dog, in need of help

Please refer to earlier posting: http://animalcare.my/2011/02/3-legged-dog-in-need-of-surgery-and.html

Today, Roselin and Nandhini brought the dog (now named Countess) to our panel vet for a check-up and subsequent spaying and surgery of the maggot-infested paw.  They also brought her puppies along for deworming. 

Our panel vet recommends that bloodwork be done prior to the surgery because Countess appears to be very thin.  She wants to ensure that Countess is fit enough for the surgery.  If the conditions are found to be favourable, Countess will be spayed and then, her maggot-eaten paw will be amputated.  All that remains now is only a stump.  Maggots have already eaten into it prior to her rescue by Roselin and Nandhini.  So, amputation is the only option. 

Countess has two adorable puppies and I would like to personally appeal to all of you to please help forward this link so that we increase the chances of adoption for these two puppies. 

Countess will also be put up for adoption after recovery.

Here are the photos:

I have assured Roselin that we will sponsor the spaying and surgery costs of Countess.  But Roselin said she will also raise some funds from her circle of friends, and when she can, will donate back into our fund so that we can help other animals. 
For such deserving cases, we are always happy to help as much as we can.
Please help us forward this link so that Countess and her puppies can find a good home.
On another note, I am very sad to know that Countess and her puppies were actually rescued from another rescuer who had left her in this condition.  Poor things.  Thank goodness Roselin and Nandhini managed to take her and her puppies away.  If only Countess could have been sent to the vet earlier, perhaps she would not have to lose her leg now. 
But of course, the past is past, and we do not know what happened.  All we have now is the present, so we will do our very best for Countess and her puppies.

    What? A rescuer can do this irresponsible act? Oh dear! But Countess, you are indeed a brave girl. And we thank the new rescuers, Roselin & Nandhini for their merciful act. Not everyone can do beautiful thing like this. Hope Countess and her puppies get adopted by loving angels

    Not all so-called "rescuers" are good and responsible people. I have encountered some who take the easy but cruel way out and dump their animals at places where they secretly spot someone else caring for the strays there.

    They quietly dump their problem on to somebody else and quietly run away, offering no help at all and leaving the other caregiver with the "problem" of caring for even more animals, incuring more $$ for the animals' food and medical care, endangering the situation for the existing animals there because of the huge numbers (bandaraya will round them up to destroy due to increased complaints).

    What they do is pure "dumping", but they ease their conscience by calling it "release". Actually TNR releases the animals in their own territory, where they were trapped to be neutered. And the released animals need to be managed and cared for like CRNM.

    Otherwise, it is pure irresponsible dumping and the person is actually a "dumper", not a "rescuer".

    Well done, Roselin, Nandhini and friends as well as AnimalCare! God bless you all!

    True enough. Some know I rescue stray animals around my area, especially kitten, and like good "samaritan", they keep their adult mother cat to hunt for mice at home and leave the little new-born kitten (sometimes with the umbilical cordintact) at my door step.
