How Many People Walked Past This Dog?

By Michele Gawenka | Project Leader

Hershey is treated at a veterinary clinic.

How many people walked past this dog, and for how many days and weeks and months?  Fortunately she was still alive when someone finally stopped on their way to a day at the beach, but they need your help to pay her vet bills.  

The truth is that often people don't stop because they can't afford to.  They may not have money to feed her, let alone pay a veterinarian to treat her erlichia, a tick borne disease.  And the responsibility doesn't end there.  She needs to be spayed and placed in a forever home.  But in a country with an estimated one million street dogs, available homes are hard to find.  

Hershey has a name now, and she is receiving the love and care she deserves.  Please make a donation to help her and others like her.
