She needed urgent surgical intervention, which she received at the Family Friends Veterinary Hospital in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
The breeder, unsure of the exact cause of her condition – whether an accident involving her mother or a complication from her amniotic sac – surrendered her to the hospital.
“She was really in a fragile state. We didn’t know if she was even going to survive beyond 48 hours,” said Brianna Vorhees, the hospital receptionist.

Even though her ear is very weirdly placed, it’s still a functional ear. It allows Rae to hear perfectly well despite her unconventional appearance.
A Fateful Adoption
Brianna Vorhees, receptionist at the hospital, felt an instant connection with Rae.
Having recently lost her beloved Golden Retriever, Loki, to lymphoma, Brianna was moved by Rae’s situation and determined to give her a loving home.
