I found the actual site for the rescue this morning. The estimate so far is 7 grand to save the pup. I feel bad, hard to pick and choose who to save and who not to, but it's an awful lot of money to fix one when there are so many in need. They at least touched on that point on the actual site though. Their explanation was looking into her eyes, they couldn't not save her.
It's heartbreaking, but 7 grand to save one pup seems mighty steep still.
