Save 50 Animals A Month From Euthanasia In Florida

From all of us volunteering here at Save A Pet Florida, we extend a big thank you for your generous donations. Without your help we would be unable to save the lives of animals that would otherwise be euthanized.

Each day we receive phone calls and emails from anxious pet owners who cannot afford to treat their pet's injury or sickness, especially this year with so many people unemployed. In addition to helping with medical care for privately owned pets, we also rescue injured dogs from our high-kill county animal shelters. Many of these dogs come to us with bladder stones, broken legs, fractured pelvis or other injury / sickness. We spare no expense to give them the care they need.

Armani a senior Schnauzer was found tied to a tree, abandoned by his owner and had a deep laceration around his chest from the rope he was tied with. We treated his injury, helped him overcome his fear of humans and placed him in a forever home.

Bambi came from a high kill shelter. A piece of his ear was missing along with many teeth. We believe he may have been attacked by another dog. Bambi is a special dog despite the trauma he suffered.

Chelsea's owner reached out to us for financial aid. Chelsea was diagnosed with bladder stones and her owner couldn't afford the surgery. We paid a portion of the bill to the vet clinic to enable Chelsea to have the surgery.

Coco was surrendered to a high kill shelter because his owner could not afford to treat him. Coco came to us from the shelter with a large tumor in his jaw and bottom lip. It was diagnosed as cancer. We placed Coco in a hospice home where he is still thriving one year later.

Daisy and Gracie came to us from a shelter in Ft Lauderdale, FL.  They were found as strays and had mange from their head to their tail. We treated them and found them forever homes.

We are very grateful to have your support and ask that you continue to help us to care for innocent animals.

Your donations over these past 3 months have been a tremendous blessing to us. Because of your generosity we were able to save the lives of many dogs and cats that otherwise would have been euthanized at county shelters. We provided financial aid to low income people to help pay for a surgery when their pet became injured. Those pets may have been euthanized simply because their owner could not afford the surgery their injured pet needed.

Here's a few stories of some of the animals we saved:

Rufio a 4 year old Lab mix who had an intestinal blockage from swallowing a foreign object. Rufio required surgery to remove the item (a sock) and was restored to health.

Spot a 7 year old domestic cat who developed a bad wound on his hip which was not treated and became infected. Surgery was performed, the would was cleaned and stitched and Spot recovered.

Blue a 5 year old Mastiff mix who developed late stage heartworm disease. His treatment was 5 months long and strict rest was required or Blue would die. He survived the treatment and is doing well.

Bella a 4 month old Welsh Corgi with an eye injury requiring surgery. Bella was born with a long hair attached to the retina of her eye. Her owners could not afford the eye surgery and were going to euthanize the puppy. With your financial help we provided aid to the dog so she could have the surgery. Her eye healed very well and no loss of vision occured.

Daisy an 8 year old Boxer/Pitbull mix suffering from pyometra, an infection in the uterus requiring immediate surgery. Pyometra affects many senior female dogs that were never sterilized. It's a nasty uterine infection causing a dog or cat to become very ill very quickly. Surgery must be done within a few days or the animal will die. We provided the surgery for Daisy and she recovered fully.

There are many more stories we could share but we want to keep this letter brief and share with you how your donations have impacted the lives of animals that without your help, would have been euthanized. You play a tremendous role in saving them and we are very grateful for your support.
