Such a good girl for Dr J!

Gypsy strives to be like her foster siblings.

Gypsy was literally tossed into the hands of a good samaritan at the young age of 7wks, as this person walked by a parked vehicle with the back hatch open.  Sadly, her brother had been thrown into the arms of another stranger and was long gone by the time Gypsy was handed over.  Gypsy’s good samaritan contacted CCR and she was brought into foster care.  Gypsy’s story is very interesting.  Not only was she accompanied with vaccine record, but she had a health certificate from NJ, 3 weeks prior!  TRANSPORTED AT 5wks?  CCR is still trying to figure out her story but there is one thing clear, Gypsy will NEVER EVER be tossed around.  She will always be loved, cared for, and adored and CCR will make sure of that!

We are pretty sure that Gypsy was “thrown out” because she has cleft nose, cleft lip, and cleft gum (we are actually very grateful that it is as minor as it is.  Many pups have cleft palate and die from aspirating while eating).  As you can see in the first photo, she has a tiny hole above her front teeth and her front teeth are growing into each other.  Surgery is needed IMMEDIATELY!  Please consider contributing to Gypsy’s surgery.   We anticipate it will cost about $500.  Any amount will help us and we are so grateful to you. The surgery will remove her front teeth and repair the hole so that she does not suffer from infections.  Thank you for your support!  We look forwarding to sharing updates on our sweet Gypsy girl who will go up for adoption as soon as she has recovered from surgery!

Gypsy NEEDS oral surgery to repair her cleft gum! Gypsy was literally tossed into the hands of a good samaritan at the young age of 7wks, as this person walked by a parked vehicle with the back hatch open.

Cleft stuff...

I’m sitting in my room, watching random transgender guy to girl youtube videos when I kinda ... catch myself with thoughts like this... “ You know what? You kinda chose this path. You chose to be who you are inside. But I didn't. I was born with complete cleft (lip, palate, nose). I am sittin' here, now, with gauzes on my face, stitches in my nose, plaster on the top of it. It is painful. Any surgery will be. (Doesn't matter if it's plastic or appendectomy) But when it's all healed, all stitches are just a memory... THAT'S the point when it gets awesome. They decided to change the shape of my nose and I'm afraid. I've been fightin' with myself for nearly 20 yrs and finally got to accept myself. But now? They changed it. I'm not the same. You will be worried, you will regret your choice until you start to accept yourself again. Fights will be over, pain will be gone and you eventually start to enjoy your new you. It's for about a year back for you. I bet that you are enjoying your life now. You are brave. All of you are. All of us are.” The truth is... I am starting to freak out. It will be 14 days after my surgery. Stitches are really annoyingly itchy, my skin is going mad from those tape-plasters on it, sometimes I wake up at night and I feel like I’m going to tear it off my face. But tomorrow it will be gone. The vision of old me, the peace coming from the self-esteem which I had a rough time building. I will be somebody else. Lookin’ forward? Sad? Lost? Regreting? Who knows.  It’s hard to love your body, to love every part of you, to love yourself. But you have to love yourself to love somebody else. It all comes from you. If you don’t love yourself you don’t have enough love to spare, this point of view.  Love your body and love yourself. Peace guys. M.L.K.
