Our next recipient of our Emergency Medical Community Fund was Bella. Bella had been with her family since she was an itty bitty baby at 6 weeks old. Recently Bella became life threateningly ill with a pyometra, or a uterine infection. She required immediate surgery to save her life, which we were able to help her family with thanks to our Community Fund. Now Bella is recuperating at home with her loving family, hopefully for many more years! Please consider donating to help us continue these lifesaving efforts.

Beloved Lady had been with her family since she was 4 weeks old. Now at 10 years old she developed a rapidly growing mass on her spleen. After doing everything she could to help raise the funds for Lady's life saving surgery, including selling her personal belongings, Lady's owner reached out to us for help. Thanks to the generous contributions of our donors we were able to use our Emergency Medical Community Fund to help to pay for Lady's surgery. She is now on her way to recovery and able to stay in the home that has loved her for her whole life. Our goal is always to help keep dogs in the home they already if possible, please consider donating to continue to help pets in need.
