Success Stories!


ROCKY

Rocky was born with a sweet personality, loving soul, but also a birth defect - a rectal prolapse. Surgery (a colopexy) is costly, but who could say no to that face? 

Update: Rocky's surgery was a success! He was adopted a few weeks later and is now a normal healthy, loving and PURRFECT cat - thanks to his WAG suppoerters!



              

Chrissy

Chrissy came into the shelter with heartworms. Many rescues refuse to pull dogs like her because treatment is costly and risky, with no guarantees. But none of that mattered when Chrissy fixed those big brown eyes on us in the shelter.

Update: Chrissy had a rough few weeks after leaving the shelter.  Some complications with her spay surgery followed by heartworm treatment and cage rest kept Chrissy out of sight for awhile. But she bounced back and is now happily involved in life with her new family. Chrissy was one very lucky girl!  






                          

      
             WE NEED HELP!!
                                





These adorable girls are Lilly and Tulip, two sweet older female Dachshunds. They were found wandering near a grooming parlor - no doubt dumped by someone who didn't want to be "bothered" with them anymore.

We think they might be cast-offs from a backyard breeder. Tulip has an inguinal hernia, common in older overbred female dogs, and needs corrective surgery soon. They're older dogs, but are showing more problems from ill care than age.

Also, Tulip and Lilly both have horribly infected teeth that the vet recommends removing. Yes - ALL of their teeth! But don't worry - chomping down canned food will be a breeze once the nasty oral infections are gone. 

Lilly and Tulip are facing about $600 in medical costs. But thanks to Dr. Brown at Countryside Veterinary Hospital (www.countrysidevets.com) these girls be getting excellent care. They'll be available for adoption soon - we want these sweethearts to live our their remaining years in a loving home.
