We have never, in all of our years of rescue, been in such a position.
Once in a while an animal will require extensive veterinary care for one reason or another… but we have recently been hit hard with three major vet bills as follows:
Budweiser was found on the side of the freeway after having fallen from the back of a truck. He severed the nerve in his shoulder and without use of his entire leg, it had to be amputated. He’s just a puppy, has no idea he’s now missing a leg…he’s very waggy and in a loving foster home
-available for adoption… but of course his vet bill for surgery and after-care was enormous.
Daisy is a 4 year old Corgi/Eskimo mix diagnosed with bladder stones this past weekend and requires surgery to remove them this week… which, ultimately will cost over a thousand dollars. Daisy will also require prescription food for the rest of her life – and she still needs a home…
More about Buddy and Daisy are in our blog above... along with the story of Hanna.
We are just a “mom and pop shop” grassroots nonprofit organization… we don’t receive any regular funding – and easily half of our operating costs come out of our personal pockets. We are not an organization that brings in 100K per year either – in 2007 we brought in 24K in donations, and spent well over 40K on the animals. We do not have paid staff – we are all volunteers and we all work normal full time jobs like the rest of the world… but our evenings and weekends are dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming of abused, neglected and abandoned animals in our communities…. and sometimes in that mission we “get in over our heads” and must ask for help.
If you are able to assist us with a donation towards these recent veterinary expenses, we can certainly provide you with a tax deduction letter and a BIG waggy lick on the face! (or not!)
