Princess still needs help with her ACL surgery! Our Chipin widget has not been working, so if you would like to donate through paypal please use the e-mail address NIBBZDALSTAR@AOL.COM, or e-mail me at that same address for more ways to donate! We have raised $70 of the $1,000 so far! Here's her story:
This pretty Princess (who is only 3-4 years old) started limping after coming indoors one day, so her human mom took her into the vet, where she was diagnosed with a ruptured cruciate ligament in her R hind leg. Given an estimate of $1500, she started looking for someone else to take her beloved pet knowing she couldn't afford the surgery she needed, not wnting to pet her down, and not wanting to see her suffer. That's where we came in! Unfortunately, before we were able to get Princess, a room mate of her owner "felt bad" for the dog being shut up in the bedroom, and left her loose in the backyard.(the Doctors recommendation of KEEP THE PET CALM didn't mean a thing to them)... later that day, Princess came inside dragging both of her legs behind her... and then was rushed to the same vet and got diagnosed with the same thing in her L hind leg!
AFTER SURGERY PICS:..
After getting Princess into our care, we were able to find a surgeon who would do Princess' surgery for $1,000 per leg(which is where I work - everywhere else qouted $1500+) She had her first surgery(on her R leg, which was worse) on 3/13/09. We were able to raise $300 towards that surgery! The surgery for her second leg is currently scheduled for 4/3/09 - which may need to be changed, depending on how well/fast the R leg heals. We really need the community help to raise some money for this one, as I don't have the finances available to pay for another expensive surgery myself. Please use the chipin to donate even a small amount to help this girl get back her quality of life! EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS!
I just noticed that Dichele (No Breeders Allowed) is one of your friends also. Dichele lives down the street from me or used to, she just moved to Utah but we became friends after she found a beautiful boy running the street that I helped with one of which BTW now belongs to her mom!!! ;) We had chatted before but met through this one dog. Funny how animals seems to bring people together while people tear animals apart? For the life of me I'll never understand!!
Thank you for accepting the friends request and the kind words. I just realized actually when I went to my other page to send a friends request from there that we are already friends on my "PEACE" page (first on my friends list) but was browsing from my "personal" page...lol So to my NEW and OLD friend....here's to helping Change The World!!!!
Peace, Love and Light Always!!!
"Concern for animals is a matter of taking the side of the weak against the strong, something the best people have always done." ~Harriet Beecher Stowe
"I am the voice of the voiceless; Through me the dumb shall speak, Till the deaf world's ears be made to hear The wrongs of the wordless weak. And I am my brother 's keeper, And I will fight his fight; And speak the word for beast and bird Till the world shall set things right." ~Unknown~

Here is some bad news that I got in the mail today...Spread the Word! Thank youMarie
Dear Florida Animal Advocates,
In 2007, Tampa became a partner community in ASPCA® Mission: OrangeT, a program committed to increasing adoptions of shelter animals and eliminating the euthanasia of healthy, adoptable pets due to lack of homes or resources. With the proactive work of Hillsborough County Animal Services (HCAS) and the other local partners, Tampa has been an ASPCA Mission: Orange success story-for example, adoptions increased by a staggering 48% over 2007, and 1,588 more lost companions were reunited with their loving pet parents.
Now, however, our coalition's ability to continue saving animals is threatened by Hillsborough County's proposed budget for fiscal year 2010 (Oct. 1, 2009 to Sept. 30, 2010). Unveiled on June 3, this budget will eliminate 26 positions at HCAS, including animal caretakers, cruelty investigators and customer service representatives. The elimination of these positions will have a major impact on enforcement capabilities, adoption programs, disaster relief and other efforts that are currently saving animal lives in the Tampa area.
The passage of the budget as written will likely reverse the progress we've made in the past few years-meaning more animals will die needlessly. Please help the ASPCA and our Tampa partners by urging Hillsborough's Board of County Commissioners, which approves the county's budget, to reject these severe cuts to animal control staff and programs.
