Yury is an overbred shihtzu that almost lost her life had it not been for a rescue volunteer who reached out for help. This little girl was brought to a local vet in Sandford after going more than 24 hours with labor complications. She needed to have an emergency c-section which the owners paid for, however they would not bring her to the emergency vet for additional care and the vet begged them to surrender her otherwise she would die. The owners finally agreed to surrender but works not turn over the 2 surviving puppies. Yury has adopted by one of the vets who saved her life — Dr. Maddie of Raleigh!
