'Noodle' the Poodle survives and now needs new home.
As seen on examiner.com on 10/23/2010
There is no way to confirm Noodle's history, but the loving folks of Florida Poodle Rescue, in St. Petersburg, admit his story is all too familiar.
Noodle was found on the side of the road, and submerged in a drainage ditch. The little dog was filthy, malnourished, sick and scared. But it wasn't until Alice Beehner, of Florida Poodle Rescue, procured Noodle's much needed veterinary treatment did the worst part of the story begin to set in.
"You see because of poor breeding practices [Noodle] had some internal abnormalities." states Florida Poodle Rescue. Noodle was born without a bladder. The situation seemed hopeless when the people from the rescue began campaigning to raise the $2,500.00 needed for the operation.
"After much research by Dr. Oakes, Dr. Weaver and all their colleagues (at TBVS), they decided to try something they had never done before. They decided to give [Noodle] a chance at life, and make [him] a new bladder." The doctors and their staff graciously agreed to do the surgery for cost, and Noodle is now happy, healthy and living in foster care.
