Trinity’s Story
October 2001
A three-year-old, female, Shepherd mix was shot in the face during an attempted burglary of an abandoned home. The dog was reportedly barking at the intruders prior to being shot.
Rescuers discovered nine one-week old puppies at the scene. Upon examination by a veterinarian, her injuries were considered life threatening. The bullet lodged in the back of her neck was carefully removed.
The wounded mother and her nursing babies found sanctuary at Helping Hands. The shelter staff that cared for the dog named her Trinity. As a result of the injury, she has limited vision in her right eye.
During her stay at the shelter, Trinity was spayed and tested for heartworm. Despite her ordeal, she proved to be a very playful and loving companion who was successfully adopted following her recovery.
