Apparently, our vet bills didn’t get the memo that it’s supposed to be a quiet week. 😂🐾
Animal Pawtectors has been keeping very busy so far this year, and this past week was no exception. We had several emergency medical cases that added up to thousands of dollars in veterinary care.
One of them was a Boxer who was found wandering as a stray. She is now in a foster home, and we’re helping her foster family with the medical costs. She needed a dental, spay, bloodwork and vaccinations. ❤️she also needed a lot of food and love!
We also assisted an owner whose cat was dealing with a pr*****ed re**um and needed emergency veterinary care, she is currently hospitalized awaiting surgery. In addition, we helped an owner whose dog was extremely lethargic and turned out to be anemic. That pup needed bloodwork and medication.
And honestly, these aren’t unusual weeks for us. We help with multiple medical cases like this every single week. Sometimes it’s something relatively simple, and sometimes the vet bill makes us take a deep breath and say, “Okay…here we go!” 😂
We are incredibly grateful for our donors and supporters who make it possible for us to help.
And here’s something we see all the time: sometimes an owner is able to put $20 or $50 toward their pet’s care. Sometimes they can contribute more. And sometimes, because life happens, they simply don’t have anything they can contribute.
That doesn’t mean they don’t love their animal.
Shelters are full, veterinary costs are high, and families are struggling. It doesn’t do an animal any good to lose a loving home simply because their family can’t afford an unexpected emergency veterinary bill. If an owner is willing and able to care for their pet, sometimes they just need a little help getting through a medical crisis.
That’s where Animal Pawtectors comes in. ❤️
The contributions made by the owners, when they’re able to help, are separate from the generous donations we receive from our supporters. Every bit of it helps us stretch our resources further and say yes to more animals who need medical care.
So whether you’ve donated to Animal Pawtectors, helped with a fundraiser, shared one of our posts, opened your home as a foster, or simply cheered us on from the sidelines — thank you. 🐾
Your support helps keep animals where they belong: safe, loved and with the people who love them.
