Happy Valentine’s Day & National Drink Wine Day!

Road Trip Destination: Chaddsford Winery

Happy Valentine’s Day!  We couldn’t think of a better way to enjoy valentine’s day than at the Chaddsford Winery celebrating some of our favorite things: Dogs, Love, Happy Endings, Sugar and Wine!  

Paisley arrived at TLC after her owner could no longer care for her and dropped her off at one of our shelter partners.  We immediately noticed a deformity in her front leg/paw (think Finding Nemo’s little fin.)  After noticing her paw was slowing her down and causing her pain, we took her in for a consultation at an orthopedic specialist where the decision was made to amputate her leg.  This decision is never taken lightly, but when the dog’s quality of life can be better and allows them to move around more easily and without pain, it’s the right decision for the dog.  This was the right thing to do for Paisley.

Supporting a dog going in for a major surgery is a labor of love… from the foster family who’s committing to helping her heal through the process, to the donations and outpouring of support from our beloved community, to the vet staff who ensure everything goes according to plan.  It’s something to be proud of and something we celebrate.  (You can cheers with your glass of wine here if you want!) 

Paisley, now Sugar, was adopted shortly after her surgery to an amazing family where she now enjoys going for long walks, playing with toys and snuggling with her family!
