Save Sick, Injured and Abused Homeless Pets!

Thank you for your donation to the Petfinder Foundation's Emergency Medical Fund! Here are just a few of the pets your gift has helped recently:

Louis
Louis was found in Detroit in an abandoned building. It was suspected that he had jumped out of a window, injuring two of his legs — one severely. Our grant helped 3rd Coast Labrador Rescue get him surgery to place a plate and screws in his leg. Louis is currently recovering in a loving foster home and will be ready for adoption soon. Read his full story.

Chiarra
The 2-month-old kitten was found alone in a Pennsylvania parking lot with one eye ruptured due to infection and the other in bad shape as a result of an eyelid deformity. With our grant, Cherished Cats Rescue Alliance got her surgery to remove the ruptured eye and repair the eyelid issue so her remaining eye could heal. After her recovery, she was quickly adopted. Read her full story.

Babycakes
A sweet 6-month-old stray dog, Babycakes was found with rubber bands around her muzzle and a badly broken jaw. X-rays revealed that she'd probably been kicked in the chin several months earlier. California's Live Love Animal Rescue used our grant funds to get her emergency jaw-repair surgery, and after her recovery, she was adopted into a home where she's flourishing. Read her full story.

Kadyn
Kadyn was hit by a car and left lying in the street with broken bones and her eye popped out of its socket. Luckily, a good Samaritan stopped to help and brought her to FOWA Rescue in New Jersey. With help from our grant, FOWA got Kadyn the surgeries she needed to mend her bones and remove her damaged eye. She's now ready for her forever home, and one of the interested adopters is the women who stopped and saved her! Read her full story.

These innocent pets could not be helped without your support. Your donation ensures that we can continue to help others just like them. Thank you from all of us at the Petfinder Foundation.

Thank you so much for supporting the Petfinder Foundation's Emergency Medical Fund. Your gift helps pets like Freddy, who was found abandoned in a park by Tennessee's Metro Animal Control (MACC). The 8-week-old puppy had a horribly broken leg -- xrays soon confirmed that his femur was snapped completely in two.

MACC reached out to the rescue group Nashville PITTIE with a plea for help. The group immediately took in the little pup and, with help from a grant from the Petfinder Foundation, was able to get Freddy the costly orthopedic surgery he needed.

The break was already a few days old, and his little body had tried to encapsulate it with scar tissue. Doctors used multiple screws and pins to repair the bone, but because of the age of the break, they didn't know whether Freddy would ever regain the use of his leg.

Miraculously, after several months of healing in a loving foster home, Freddy was able to walk completely normally! At the same time, the once-depressed puppy's true personality emerged, and volunteers write that Freddy "may have been the sweetest pup to ever come through our doors."

The loving puppy adored playing fetch, chewing on his toys and snuggling with his blankie. He worked hard to make everyone -- even grumpy old dogs -- love him. He was soon adopted into a forever home where he lives with a fellow Nashville PITTIE alum named Sophie!

It's truly because of donations like yours that we can help rescue groups say YES when they are contacted about pets like Freddy, who are at risk of euthanasia because of their expensive medical needs. So many pets like him can go on to live happy, healthy lives thanks to your support. Thank you for helping us help them.
