You often hear the phrase “it takes a village,” and in Daisy’s case, she sure had a village behind her. Daisy’s story started this May in the Charlotte area when she was just 4 months old. The owners could not afford the costly procedure to attempt to close the shunt, so they contacted the Golden Retriever Rescue Club of Charlotte (GRRCC) for help. After consultation among the GRRCC vet, the emergency clinic vet, and the original owner’s vet, it was determined that the best course of action would be for her to have surgery at a clinic in Raleigh. GRRCC asked to have her transferred to NRGRR so that a rescue will remain close by for the follow-up care she needed, and of course we immediately said yes.
