THANK YOU is such a small word for such GENEROSITY!!

We are grateful for the bingo players in our community that were at the IRON HORSE SALOON today. The $552 raised will go towards TOOTIE'S surgery.

THANK YOU to the IRON HORSE SALOON for hosting bingo every Saturday at 1pm and choosing us as the recipient!

Your dog may enjoy riding in the car, but leaving a dog in the hot car can result in heat stress, heat stroke or..... statistics show 1 in 7 dogs die. Leaving a window cracked or a bowl of water is not good enough. Be kind to your pet and leave it at home if it is a warm day.

WE NEED 2500$
🐾 HELP TOOTIE GET THE HIP SURGERY SHE DESPERATELY NEEDS 🐾
Meet Tootie. 💔
Tootie has had a difficult life and has suffered abuse, yet despite everything she's been through, she remains one of the sweetest dogs you'll ever meet. She can be timid at times and takes a little time to trust, but once she does, she'll melt your heart. Tootie has the cutest way of "talking" to you and will even flash you a smile that reminds you how much love she still has to give.
Unfortunately, Tootie now needs hip surgery to help relieve her pain and give her the quality of life she deserves.
We are asking our community to come together and help this special girl get the care she needs.

💙 Donations need to be made directly to:

Northern Hills Veterinary Clinic
713 Ana Street
Sturgis, SD 57785
📞 605-347-3606

Please let them know your donation is for Tootie's Hip Surgery Fund.

🏡 FOSTER HOME NEEDED
In addition to donations, Tootie is looking for a loving foster home during her recovery. She needs a calm, patient environment where she can heal and continue learning that people can be kind. She is sweet, affectionate, and grateful for every bit of love she receives.
Every donation, share, and foster inquiry brings Tootie one step closer to a pain-free future.
Please help us show Tootie that her story doesn't end with the abuse she suffered—it begins with the love and compassion of a community that cares.
❤️ Donate. Share. Foster. Help Tootie heal. ❤️
