Urgent Help Needed!

We’re reaching out to our compassionate community for support as we face some challenging cases requiring extensive medical care for our beloved animals. Your generosity can make a life-saving difference for these dogs in need. Here are the urgent situations where your donation can help:

**Atley’s Road to Recovery** Atley, a courageous dog, captured the hearts of many after enduring a harrowing experience of being shot twice in the head. Despite the odds, Atley continues to fight and has already undergone multiple surgeries. Your continued support is crucial as Atley faces yet another surgery on May 21, where we hope her fixator tube can finally be removed. Your donation will ensure that Atley receives the best possible care on her journey to healing.

**Emergency Medical Care for Timber** Timber, a dog who recently came into our care, faced a dire situation with a face full of porcupine quills. Extremely thin and struggling to breathe and eat, Timber required urgent veterinary attention to remove the quills and address his health issues. Your donation will help cover the extensive medical bills accured from Timber’s emergency treatment, giving him a chance at a pain-free and happy life.

 

**Maizey’s Memorial Playground** Maizey, a deaf stray dog recently adopted, brought boundless joy to her new home in just a few short months. Though she’s no longer with us, her memory will live on through Maizey’s Playground, a special fenced-in area where dogs can play freely and safely. Your donation will help create a lasting tribute to Maizey’s spirit and provide a fun space for future shelter pets.

**Emergency Medical Care for Mochi** Mochi, a small puppy, endured a traumatic injury after being tossed from a car, resulting in a broken leg that required amputation. Mochi underwent surgery and found her forever home. Your donation will help cover the expenses of Mochi’s surgery

Your support, whether big or small, will directly impact the lives of these animals and countless others who rely on our care. Together, we can provide them with the love, support, and medial attention they need to thrive. Thank you for your kindness and compassion. Please note on your donation which animal you would like to donate to. Thank you for your generosity.
