Peanut got hit by a car. And this little Dachshund quickly lost most use of his rear legs. His Mom is homeless and penniless, currently sleeping on the couches of whatever friends have room for her.
Despite her own hardship she managed to get Peanut to a vet to be stabilized. But additional care and xrays were needed and they cost money that she did not have. She said she tried all the usual places for help but with no success. Then she found The Pongo Fund. We are a Pet Food Bank, but we always strive to go above and beyond to provide whatever help we can. Because sometimes being a Pet Food Bank just isn’t enough.
Thankfully donors to our Emergency Veterinary Care Fund are here to make this help possible. And after learning more about Peanut, we knew we needed to help him too. Because he needs us, as does his Mom.
Further examination and xrays found nothing needing surgery. With medication and rest this little guy should be feeling better soon. Our physical therapist is standing by ready to lead Peanut through hydrotherapy to continue his recovery. We’re not sure how much this will cost, and we invite you to help if you can.
Every situation like this hurts. Even when we can help, they still hurt. This is the email we received. Read it and you’ll understand.
“Peanut is my life and is what keeps me going everyday, I love him beyond anything and am reaching out to anyone I can to see if they can help him get at least an X-ray to see what's going on with him. I was told about your foundation and that you may possibly be able to help in some way. I have been praying for him and praying that someone can help my baby, my son. Please, if at all possible, I am begging for help for Peanut. I don't know what I will do if God takes him, I just don't know what to do.”
For Peanut and the Mom who loves him.
And this is why we Pongo.
