Save Sick, Injured and Abused Homeless Pets!

Adoption groups have seen an increase in sick and injured pets during Covid because their owners cannot afford to care for them and/or are facing eviction and homelessness. Your donation to the Petfinder Foundation helps them. Here are just a few examples:

Maximus
Maximus was stabbed repeatedly by his owner and was not expected to live. Thanks to our grant to Denison Animal Welfare Group in Texas, he was pulled him from a local shelter, received the vet care he needed, and went to a loving, forever home once his body and his heart had healed.

Knox
Knox was found by a good Samaritan. The tiny kitten was inflamed, red and itching, most of his body covered in flea scabs and sores. Our grant to TLC Animal Refuge in Kentucky helped him get treated and sent to a foster home to heal. He's since been adopted and is living his best life.

Little Trooper
A tiny terrier mix, Little Trooper was hit by a car and left by the side of the road with internal injuries and a leg injury. Thanks to our grant to Illinois' Fetching Tails Foundation, he recovered in a veterinary hospital and has been adopted by a family that will continue to help him thrive.

Blossom
Twelve-year-old Blossom was abandoned in South Florida. She was deaf and had an enlarged heart, cataracts, and a uterine infection that required emergency surgery. Our grant enabled Poodle and Pooch Rescue of Florida to get her the care she needed, and she was adopted by a family that fell in love with this sweet senior.

During the Covid crisis, many animal shelters and rescue groups have seen an increase in people wanting to foster pets -- but they've also seen a drop in donations, shelter closures, and the cancellation of adoption events. At the same time, pet intake has remained steady or increased.

We've helped 545 adoption groups (and counting) with Covid-relief grants, and many have used the funds to care for sick, injured and abused homeless pets. Here are just a few examples.

Trixie
Trixie found herself in a Texas shelter with a femur that was broken in two. She was pulled by Texas Humane Heroes and, with help from our grant, had her injured leg amputated. After her surgery, she spent a month in foster care and quickly learned how to walk on three legs. Within three days of being available for adoption, she found her forever home!

Sadie
Sadie and her puppies were rescued from a hoarding situation by Puppy Dog Ranch in New Mexico.The dogs were close to dying of malnutrition. Sadie needed emergency surgery to remove a towel that was twisted around her intestines. Our grant purchased food for all 32 dogs in the rescue's care while food deliveries were delayed due to Covid. Sadie is recovering and her pups have been adopted! Read her full story here.

Bandit
Now nine weeks old, Bandit and his four siblings were left in a container at 1 day old. Indiana's Barkers and Whiskers rescued them and bottle-fed them around the clock. Despite the odds, they all thrived. Our grant was used to spay and neuter the litter of five kittens, and to make sure they're fully vaccinated before they're adopted. Read Bandit's full story here.

Nicky
Nicky was found by a good citizen who thought his bottom jaw was missing. His rescuers at Animal Aid of Tulsa learned that it had actually deteriorated, possibly due to poor nutrition. He was also suffering from a terrible skin condition and grossly overgrown nails. Thanks to our grant, the shelter was able to take Nicky in and get him cleaned up and on the road to recovery. Read his fully story here.
