Tinkerbelle - In Annie Orphans Foster Care

Name: Tinkerbelle
Sex: Female (altered)
Breed: Purebred Pit Bull
Age: Aproximately 7 years
Location: Bayfield, CO

Vet/Medical Info: Per her owner, Tinkerbelle is not up to date on vaccines nor is she spayed.  She has not had a recent heartworm test.  Tinkerbelle is quite healthy. She weighs about 50 pounds. Her owner is trying to get financial help to have Tinkerbelle spayed and have her vaccines. Update - Tinkerbelle was spayed 7/11/2012 and received her rabies vaccine. When she goes back to the vet in a weeks time she will receive the rest of her vaccinations.

Owner Info: Tinkerbelle's owner has stage 4 breast cancer and she says it's just getting harder and harder to care for her.  She's a very strong dog and her owner is afraid she's going to knock her over.  Tinkerbelle is an outdoor dog with a fenced yard, and is not housebroken or leash trained.  She's an outgoing girl, and good with men, women, and teenagers.  She used to live with another female dog, and did very well with her.  Whenever she's around other dogs, she's fine!  Tinkerbelle's owner says she's a very healthy dog, and is very sweet!  She literally jumps for joy whenever she's around her people!  She's had Tinkerbelle for a long time, but simply can no longer afford her care, physically or financially.  It is with a heavy heart that she feels she must take this step.

I really need help fast.  I'm having a very hard time with Tinkerbelle.  It's not her, it's me.  I simply can't handle her now.   She's so strong.  Between taking her out on a leash & giving her medicine, I'm wretched with pain.  She still needs the 4-in-1 vacine.  The vet didn't want to give her everything the day she got spayed.  Anyway, I would be very grateful for any help you could give me now.
