More animals are alive today beause of your generous donations. You helped us save the lives of stray dogs and cats brought to our county shelters. You enabled us to provide funding for veterinary care to many sick and injured companion animals. Pet owners who call us for financial assistance are grieving at the possible loss of their companion pet because they can't afford the veterinary care their pet needs. Many are senior citizens living on a fixed income from social security. They do not have an extra $800.00 to repair a fractured leg when their little dog falls off the couch or when their cat cannot urinate and needs surgery due to a blockage. Because of your help these pet owners did not have to choose euthanasia for their pet. Your contributions provided us with funds to help these beloved pets get the treatment they needed.
Tanner, a 6 year old mixed breed dog who had a very large mass on his spleen. Surgery was done to remove the spleen and Tanner is well.
Pinky, a 3 year old Chihuahua needing exploratory surgery due to vomiting, lethargy and constipation. The surgeon found Q-tips in Pinky's intestines which caused all the symtoms.
Sunny, a 1 year old tabby cat needing emergency surgery due to excessive vommiting. Surgery revealed that Sunny had ingested part of a toy mouse. He recovered well from surgery and could no longer play with furry toy mice!
Fancy, a 7 month old small dog with a broken leg and multiple lacerations on his body due to being hit by a car. His leg was in a cast for 6 weeks & he healed quickly due to his young age.
Zoey, an 8 year old small breed dog who couldn't urinate due to a blockage. After several days of hospitalization, surgery and fluids, Zoey was able to urinate and was released to his owner.
Raider, a 2 year old Mastiff with a torn ACL (torn ligament in the knee). Surgery is intense and very expensive but. without it, this young Mastiff would become lame. Raider is a service dog for a disabled vet and your donations helped this veteran pay for Raider's surgery.
Yuppy, an 11 year old Min Pin with a mass on her lower back. Yuppy's owner is a senior woman receving social security as her only source of income. The mass was surgically removed, sent to a lab to be biopsied for cancer and the result was negative. Yuppy will live many more years thanks to your help.
Goatee, a 12 year old domestic cat with an eye ulcer that was so bad the cat's eye had to be removed. Goatee's owners moved and left him behind. He didn't know how to hunt for food after living inside for 12 years. Neighbors wouldn't feed him and slowly Goatee became very ill. Finally someone called us asking us to help the cat. We rescued this sweet cat from the streets and had him at our Vet's office the same day. He was very weak, thin & dehydrated. Once Goatee was stable enough to undergo surgery, his eye was removed and a kind senior citizen offered to take him for his remaining years.
There are many other cases of animal abuse and neglect that you have helped us with these past 4 months. We are so thankful for all of you that donate to save the lives of these precious dogs and cats.
