Our rescue saved Shortcake and her sister Twinkie from severe neglect when they were 8 years old. They had been living separately in small pens without access to grass or medical care.
Shortcake was born with a deformed leg that causes her daily mobility issues. We got both sisters spayed and now Shortcake receives daily pain medicine that allows her to be mobile and happy.
Shortcake and Twinkie are still looking for their forever home together.
