LOLA (Evesham's Saluki Showgirl)
Her name is Lola, named because she is like a true showgirl and the show had to go on despite her pain and horrific injuries (for those of you too young or too cool, Lola was a showgirl in the Barry Manilow song, Copacabana!)
She is about one year old, a stunning white Saluki Cross who arrived with terrible injuries to both hind legs, her right fore leg, scrapes all over her and melted tarmac on her body and feet. But despite the awful pain she must be in, she kept wagging her tail and smiling that lovely smile, watching you with total trust through those big brown eyes. Lola wasnt going to let her show end!
Lola is going to need extensive treatment on her legs - the bandages alone have to be replaced twice a day, she needs anti-biotics for infection, lots of pain relief and she could still face possibly having to have one leg amputated.
EGLR is hugely stretched already with the annual fund-raiser sadly being cancelled due to the flash floods that hit the area earlier this year, but we simply could not ignore Lolas plight. So were asking you please to help us help Lola. Every single pound will help towards Lolas ongoing treatment and getting her on the road to recovery. She has a long way to go but we are determined to help her and give her the chance she so richly deserves so she can get back her twinkle toes, find a new dance partner and cha-cha again!
Take a look at your own dog laying in his bed or running around the garden and think how Lola deserves that chance too. Shes had an awful start to life so lets restore her trust in the human race.
And the song lyrics arent the only connection we can see between Barry and Lola. Personally, we can see some similarity in the nose department too!
Please dig deep and support us as much as you can - even £1 will help. All donations for Lola will be very gratefully received. Please send your cheque or postal order to:

Cheques should be made payable to Evesham Greyhound and Lurcher Rescue or alternatively via Paypal (please see the Contact Us page for our Paypal details).
Thank you from Lola and everyone at EGLR.
