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.
