Shelby was picked up Thursday morning (12/09/2010) in Godfrey IL after being shot in the stomach
with an arrow. . Authorities from Madison County Animal Control contacted Hope Animal Rescues to
ask whether they could help the 4-year-old Shetland sheepdog.
"She was standing because she couldn't sit down, the arrow was sticking out on both sides of the dog.
There was lots of blood. She was losing a lot of blood," said Jackie Spiker, co-founder of Hope Animal
Rescues in Alton, Illinois.
Shelby was rushed to Horseshoe Lake Animal Hospital in Collinsville, where she underwent a
procedure lasting several hours to remove her damaged spleen and to repair four injured areas in her
bowel. Hope then transferred her Thursday night to Hawthorne Animal Hospital in Glen Carbon so she
could receive 24-hour supervision.
