Hannah (2022)
At time of rescue was blind, had advanced diabetes and pancreatitis, had severe anemia, and open wound to side of face/neck.
On April 6th, 2022, Hannah was found by a good Samaritan on the streets of Orlando, FL. She was in dire straits. Hannah was rushed to Orange County Animal Services whereby all accounts, she had given up on life. She was extremely lethargic just laying in her kennel and not moving or reacting to any stimuli.
After being contacted by Rescue Rebels' representative in Orlando, Leigh , who had seen Hannah's intake picture, Rescue Rebels quickly mobilized finding Hannah a foster home. On April 8th, 2022, Rescue Rebels committed to receiving Hannah and sent one of their volunteers to the shelter to pick up Hannah and transport her directly to Rescue Rebels' veterinarian. Upon medical evaluation, Hannah was determined to be severely dehydrated, severely anemic, had untreated and advanced diabetes, untreated pancreatitis, had an open wound to her neck area and was blind due to cataracts.
Hannah was treated in-house at Rescue Rebels' veterinarian through April 14th until she was stable and able to leave with her foster family. Once with her Rescue Rebels' foster family, Hannah's life dramatically changed for the better. Although, still in a medically fragile state, Hannah knew that she was in loving hands.
Hannah continued with her veterinarian care including diabetic curve testing, ultrasounds to other organs to assess damage, and an evaluation at the Orlando Eye Institute by Dr. Fife to ascertain whether she was a candidate for cataract surgery. When Hannah was first assessed by the Orange County Animal Services she was thought to be 10 years old. However, the veterinarians since the initial assessment believe her to be 4 or 5 years old.
On June 29th, Hannah underwent cataract removal surgery.
Rescue Rebels is honored and humbled to help this sweet girl with the gift of sight so that she can see the beautiful world she now lives in. Rescue Rebels thanks all that have helped and continue to help Hannah.
Hannah validates why a little "TLC" makes a huge difference.
We are excited to announce that Hannah was adopted by her foster family on April 8th 2023, a year to the date that our rescue saved her from OCAS. Hannah felt like she was "home" from Day ONE!!!
