Amber came to me in June of 2001. She was a pet. The owners took her to a Vet. in Northern Indiana to get her vaccines. The Vet. had them leave her. After they were gone, the Vet. called Animal Control to come and get her. She was then taken to a Rehabilitator, who then brought her to me.

I then tried to find the original owner, because I could tell that she had been well taken care of and was well-socialized and knew that they were probably worried about her. No one would give me the information that I needed. She has adjusted well and has become good friends with my dog "Wrecker". I can take them on walks together on leashes. She will live with us for the rest of her life.

Morrell arrived at the center starving and skinny (weighing only 3 pounds). Surprisingly, she was playful and spunky despite her empty tummy and serious medical condition. Morrell has MBD, Metabolic Bone Disease, which is a severe weakening of the bones due to calcium deficiency. It causes numerous fractures and breaks because the bones are soft and without substance. Morrell hopped like a bunny due to her fractures and soon, could not walk at all. ICRC, which has already spent $500 on veterinary care, now must spend at least an additional $700. Little Morrell has another break, this time an even more serious one in her hind leg which must be fixed with pins and an external fixture.
