Just days ago, “Spring” was found by an employee of Villalobos Rescue Center – Life 4 Paws in New Orleans sitting in the middle of the main highway that runs through Assumption Parish. The dog was covered in more than 100 bite wounds likely the result of a staged dog fight based on the area known for dog fighting where she was discovered.
Spring’s past must have been grueling, but somehow she escaped, but now she is fighting for her life. Besides her severe infections from old and new bites, she was also in kidney failure.
Multiple vets have been working around the clock to save Spring’s life. VRC sees hundreds of dogs per year that come through our gates but this little one has really made an impact on us. Her will to live and forgiving nature she has for humans is immeasurable.

Spring’s head wounds were so infected that her veterinarians had to open the wounds to apply appropriated medications. Two days after her arrival, she was able to stand and has been walking around.

Spring’s battle to live is going to be a long one, and her prognosis at this time is still rather shaky, however she is receiving the best of care and hundreds of supporters wishing her well.
