Kimba needs Surgery because of being Abused and Abandoned. Please Help!!

http://www.fundable.com/groupactions/groupaction.2008-12-07.3025711775/image_maxi

Please
meet my very special cat...Kimba (the white lion). He was Abandoned
last winter, when he was approx 3-4 months old . I rescued him and He
is now 1 year old. He has been my best friend and brought me nothing
but joy. He has been such a positive and happy part of my life,
especially since I've been battling a long rough road with some
personal hardships.


I recently rushed Kimba to the vet because he couldn't get up.
After an extensive examination and xrays (which I've already paid for),
the vet has determined he has 2 broken/crushed joints near the hip area
and said they've been broken for a very long time because the bones
(joints) have literally deteriorated and there are some fragments
floating around his hip area that are causing him terrible pain. (this
is enough proof for me that the idiots that abandoned him also abused
him!!) He is now on pain meds, because the pain is the ONLY thing
stopping him. During examination, the vet found that his tissues and
muscles have taken over the movement of his legs, replacing the joint
usage and thats why all this time (even throughout all his regular
check-ups) he's never shown anything was wrong and has been acting
normally. However, the bones have become so bad, the pain is now too
much for him to bare.


Unfortunately he can't stay on the pain meds for more then 30 days,
because they can give him a bleeding ulcer and he can die, as well as
he can die from the pain because he won't be able to eat or function
from it. The vet said the humane thing to do would be surgery to remove
whats left of the broken joints and fragments that are causing the
pain. She guaranteed if we get the surgery done, he'll be able to
continue to live and function normally....running, jumping, playing and
just being his lovable sweet self. If we don't do the surgery then he
will die from the meds/pain or I will have to euthanize him and I DON'T
want to do that!! He deserves to continue to live a happy life...where
he is loved and appreciated more then anyone can imagine!!


Please find it in your heart to help me give him back the happiness
he has given me. I'm still trying to get back on my feet, so I can't
afford to pay for the entire surgery. The total cost for both legs to
be done is $2600. I need to come up with at least half ($1300 ) and the
vet will let me make monthy payments after that........So PLEASE help
me!!! I don't want to let him down like those idiots did when they
threw him out.....and that was after who knows what kind of abuse they
did to him!!! So....please find it in your heart to give just one more
gift during this holiday season and contribute to help save Kimba. His
name so suits him....he is as strong as any "lion" I've ever seen to
endure what he's gone through!!


Wishing you a happy, safe and loving holiday season!! Thank you and bless you all!!

Pancreatitis treatment for Kiki

http://img386.imageshack.us/img386/3276/pc093498uf5.jpg


Kiki was transferred to the Seattle Veterinary Specialists
(www.svsvet.com) from the VCA Five Corner. She had surgery last Sunday
for a pancreatitis, which led to sepsis in her system. Prior to the
transfering, Dr. gave us 3 options:




1. Surgery


2. Keep current treatment, which Kiki doesn't response to it.


3. Stop everything.





Since Kiki has always been a sweet dog since we adopted her from the
shelter in 2004, we decided to do everything that we could to save her.
Therefore, we transported her to Seattle Veterinary Specialists, where
the surgery took place. Before the surgery, they found fluid in her
stomach. Dr. Michael Mison was her surgeon. After the surgery was done,
Dr. did not know what caused the infection since Kiki has been on a
special diet food (the WD + Innova). Kiki is still in critical
condition. Therefore, she has to stay in the hospital for a while with
the additional amount of $1,200 - $1,500 per 24hr. We are running out
money for Kiki's hospital bill. We would greatly appreciate any
assistance through this difficult time. Kiki is currently staying at
the Seattle Veterinary Specialists in Kirland, WA.

Jezzy is Half-Way There!

http://www.fundable.com/groupactions/groupaction.2008-12-12.2690126667/image_maxi






Jezzy is a 25-lb. Australian Shepherd who loves to dance on her
back legs! She is around 2 years old, and was found earlier this year
as a stray at Ft. Hood, TX. She was due to be euthanized but one of the
vet techs couldn't let that happen, and took her home. She was not able
to keep her, however, so Jezzy made her way to Austin Aussie Rescue. From September though October, she participated in a training program at Triple Crown Academy in Hutto, TX.


On November 14, Jezzy went to daycare at Taurus Training and Doggy Play Day with her foster brother, Indy.
Somehow their leashes entangled getting out of the car, and in a freak
accident, Jezzy ended up with a serious spiral fracture to both the
tibia and fibia (upper and lower leg bones).


She had surgery on Monday, November 17, at the Central Texas Veterinary Specialty Hospital and we are now paying off our bills of over $2,000.
The good news is the surgery went well and the vet believes she has a
good chance for a full recovery. Her two-week checkup looked good and
her doctor was pleased with her progress. Jezzy still has five more
weeks of crate rest. Her foster family is dedicated to keeping her
quiet so her bones can heal properly. We did collect $850 from a previous Fundable and over $200 in checks.


We are asking for your help to contribute toward Jezzy's vet
bills so we can see her dancing again -- in a few more weeks! And, once
she gets the OK from the vet, Jezzy needs a permanent, loving home. See
Jezzy's Petfinder page here (includes a video). See more pictures here!

Destiny injured 8wk kitten found on tollway

http://www.fundable.com/groupactions/groupaction.2008-12-16.0403888250/image_maxi

Destiny
is an 8 week old kitten tortiseshell that most likely was warming
herself on someones car engine when they took off for work last
Wednesday. We found her stumbling around on the on Marengo on ramp for
I-90 with a bloody nose and mouth and injury to her rear end and tail.



She was taken immediately to one of our local vets and after
careful exam and xrays was treated for a degloved tail and shock. After
a week of hoping we could save the tail it 1/2 of it had to be
amputated this Saturday 12-13. Today 12-16 we had to take a little more
tail off. You can the picture of Destiny sporting her new look as of
today and as you can see she has the run of the clinic. Trying to get a
picture of her is impossible.


Animal Services and Assistance Programs Inc. is a not-for-profit
organization that provides free food, supplies, services and programs
to the animal welfare community. In the past 2 months we have shipped 6
truckloads of dog and cat food across the US and Puerto Rico with 2
more trucks to be delivered before Christmas. Our mission is to help
rescues and shelters help the animals in their communities. We provide
medical services to animals that are in need of placement to rescues
and shelters but otherwise would not be placeable due to the
prohibitive costs of medical care needed to make them healthy enough to
adopt.


When Destiny is well she will be placed with a local area rescue for adoption until then she will be with a foster home.

Vet bills and supplies for my 2 English Mastiff foster dogs!



I recently took in two foster dogs that were to be put to sleep if they did not find a home immediately. I am working through Dave Ramsey's debt reduction plan and have very little money to use on them, but I felt that I needed to stop two wonderful dogs from losing their life.

Unfortunately both girls are senior citizens for Mastiff's(6-8 yrs old), and both have serious health problems. Libby, the first girl is suffering from Cushings disease and also kidney failure. She needs medication and immediate help from a specialist to start living comfortably. She was kept at a puppy mill for a large part of her life, and now she needs some help! She is also partially blind after suffering with entropic eyelids her whole life and needs surgery to repair them to stop future pain.

Willow is my other beautiful foster girl. She has a torn ligament in her left front leg, and severe athritis in her hips and hind legs. She is also starting to see deterioration in her hind end due to pressure on her spine. She needs surgery on her front leg, supplements and medication for her other problems and time in a rehab facility. This is the sweetest dog you could ever hope to meet and she needs help!

Please if you have the ability to help at all, anything will help! They are limited to only $300 each of care from the rescue I am fostering them for, and they have already surpassed that limit. We need approximately $1,500 to take care of the surgeries, medicine and rehab for these beautiful dogs.

God bless everyone for reading this, and please help if you can! If you can also pass this on to others I would greatly appreciate it!

Oakley needs surgery, can you help?

Email neko15_2000@yahoo.com
Location Florida

Hi My name is Stephanie fell and I have a friend in dyer need! Here is her brief story





Oakley a 6 yr old American Pit bull has been throughh a rough road since March. In March of this year she tore her ACL(anterior cruciate ligament) while playing in her back yard.. After months of rehab she is still havingg problems with it. To make a long story short about a month ago after swimming to help rebuild the muscles in her ACL leg , she twisted wrong in the yard and preceeded to break her hock on her "good" leg. After weeks of splint and lots of money lost,she was sent to a refferal center after an x-ray revield that the bones were not healing at all. After the consultation the doctor told Sonya and Heather some not so good news. The bones were not healing at all and the only real option was surgery to rebuild the bones. Good news it can be fixed bad news is Sonya and Heather just paid alot of money out for BOTH of ther dogs, Oakley to have her ACL fixed and Yuckers ( the english bull who developed a mammary tumor and has a heart defect) had to be spayed. None the less the surgery to fix her hock is going to cost around $3000 and they just do not have it. Right now Oakley is in a cast for the next 4 weeks to see if the bones will heal but the doctors are not optimistic.. So now My very good friends have to make a very hard decision. To try and get up the money to fix her leg surgically or to put their beloved pet to sleep.
I am asking if anyone cares about animals to please donate any spare change so that we can help Oakley out and have a wonderful LONG life ahead of her! Please help if you can !


PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!

Thank you

Please help Paddie get her ACL fixed!



This is Paddie's whole story:





My golden retriever, Paddie, is four years old and has had
hypothyroidism for three of them. We got her from a family friend when
she was seven weeks old and have enjoyed her company ever since. Her
highest weight was around 120lbs. At this weight, she started getting
arthritis in her hips and the vet switched her food to Science Diet
Large Breed Light. She stayed with this change for around six weeks
until we took her back to the vet and discovered she had lost no
weight. Our veterinarian rechecked her thyroid levels and discovered
her thyroid was not working at all. With this, he put her on thyroid
medication, and changed her food to Prescription Diet R/D. Paddie has
been battling with her weight for almost two years, but, finally, at
her last check-up she weighed 85lbs! We are so proud of her for losing
this weight.


During her battle with her weight, however, we noticed her
arthritis getting worse. The veterinarian, my mother, and I all thought
the arthritis in her hips was getting worse since she was more active
with the weight off. The vet put her on Rimadyl for the pain in her
hips, hoping that it would make it tolerable. After a few weeks,
Paddie's limping had not improved, in fact, it had gotten worse. She
stopped playing and running as much as she had been doing,and had to
rest more and more often on our walks. Her limping on her back legs had
gone from only limping once a week and it barely being noticeable to
limping everyday and very distinct. Another thing we began to notice
was that she would limp harder on the right side than the left.



At our next trip to the veterinarian, we told him about her
getting worse. He had just finished checking her hips,telling us that
she may need x-rays to determine if she had hip disphylasia, when he
thought to check her knees to make sure they were ok. It was when he
checked her right knee that he found the problem.


She has a torn ACL.



The vet determined that she had more than likely torn it while
becoming more and more active when losing her weight. He also told us
that he had not caught it before because of her weight. This diagnosis
was given almost three weeks ago. She desperately needs this surgery as
soon as possible, but we do not have the funds on our own to make it
happen.


The surgery will cost $1200 minimum, though he said that with
larger dogs the surgery usually runs $1500-$1600. My sister and I are
both college students with part-time jobs, and with rent and our other
pets that need care we can hardly save any money. My mother is disabled
and has had both knees replaced, four total knee replacements on her
left knee, with another knee surgery coming up in the fall. My father
does have a full-time job, but a majority of his funds goes to medical
bills, mortgage payments, loan payments, and pet needs.


Our boxer, Teej, is on Prescription Diet W/D because he has a
condition where the urine in his kidneys crystallizes and forms tiny
stones that makes it very hard for him to use the bathroom. Paddie is
on the Science Diet Large Breed Light, and must continue this diet for
her weight, along with her thyroid medication and Rimadyl.


When we first found out she needed surgery as soon as possible, we
called our humane society to see if they were willing to help or could
point us in theright direction. They suggested United Animal Nations,
and also said that if we could not help her soon, that it would be
better to put her down. We cannot bear to do that. Paddie needs fixing,
not euthanizing, or leg amputation.


Paddie is the best dog I've ever had. She thinks she is a lapdog,
still, and loves attention. Her favorite activity is swimming, which
she cannot do right now because it of the pain. She loves the water,
regardless of if the water is in a small kiddie pool from Wal-Mart or
if she is getting to swim laps in a pond or lake! Paddie is one of the
happiest dogs I know and she dances every time she meets someone new!
She loves to run and sniff out critters that roam in the woods behind
our house, and now she cannot do any of this. Her limping has gotten
worse, she cannot run at all anymore, and she is not able to play for
long intervals.







As soon as I have the money to get the surgery done, she will have
it done! I will be posting a copy of the estimate that my vet has given
me for her surgery costs! Also if you want to make a donation with a
check, how to do so is listed at the bottom!



Any contributions you can give would be absolutely amazing! You
have no idea what it means to me, or to Paddie! Please help me help
Paddie with her surgery and get her back to doing all of her favorite
things!

Dog hit by car-needs surgery



My
beautiful dog Blondie was hit by a car on 7/16/07. She was hit very
hard and drug under the car. I'm surprised she is alive. She has broken
her pelvis in many places and needs surgery to walk again. I cannot
afford this surgery. She is a young girl who needs to run and play but
won't be able to do that anymore without this operation. I don't want
my dog to be crippled and confined because of my inability to pay for
this. PLEASE make a donation. Any amount will help! Thank you. Update:
Apparently you must make a donation of at least $10.00. I tried to
lower this but it won't let me. But please find it in your hearts to
donate. Maybe you won't be able to buy the expensive 6 pack this week
or that box of hair color but you will be helping a sweet girl! Note: I
lowered the amount that I need because if I don't reach my goal I get
nothing. But you can still contribute after the goal has been met. My
goal is 4,000. If the total at the end of the fund raiser doesn't reach
my goal, you pay NOTHING! And please don't be afraid of signing up for
Paypal. I have been a member since 2000 and have never had any
problems. Plus it's free!

Please help with Majors Surgery



Major,
my great pyreneese came to me last year in June, he was ten months old
and in very bad shape, to skinny and his hair was in big mats. Most of
the first months of his life he spend chained up in a way to little
back yard.
With lots of TLC he turned out to be the most wonderfull dog you
would ever wish for. A gentle Giant that lives in the house and enjoys
every minute of it.
And now he tore his Ligaments(ACL) in his knee, not even 2years
old.( We went for a walk on the 5th of July and somebody set of some
fireworks, Major went crazy, he is terrified of loud noise like that.)
The vet told me that we will have to send him to Dallas for surgery.
Nobody in our area can do this surgery on a big dog like my Major.
Right know i have to keep him confined to a very little space so he
cant move around to much. And he just got a little brother that want to
play with him sooooo bad.

We highly appreciate every bit help we can get, and may good bless you all

Lambchop's Surgery



OK
everyone.....Lambchop had her second and hopefully final surgery!! For
those of you who don't know Lambchop.....she's a 1 1/2 year old 2 1/2
lb chihuahua who was rescued from a puppymill after being attacked by a
large dog and left for 6 weeks with untreated facial injuries. Her
upper jaw had been crushed and she had a severe infection. They closed
the hole that went from the roof of her mouth up into her sinus cavity,
and took out an inch long piece of her upper jaw bone that had broken
off and had been shoved up into her sinus cavity from the bites she
sustained. Then they flushed out her sinuses and sutured her all up.
She has a mouth full of stitches but is healing well and has never once
lost her zest for life :-) She still adores EVERYONE!!!! The bill was
$1700. So I'm begging everyone to PLEASE donate whatever you can to
help.....Lammie will appreciate it!! (and so will I) Thanks!

Help me help my kitty 'Flea'



Everyone who knows me knows how much I love my kitty 'Flea'!! He is my pride and joy, the apple of my eye, my little ray of sunshine who brightens my every day... and for those of you who don't know me quite so well, just take a look at his MySpace page at www.myspace.com/fleakitty1 and you'll get the idea!!

Well, the other night, to my horror, as I went to give him a kiss goodbye on my way out the door to go to work, my little baby cried out in pain as I ran my hand down his back! I looked down to see that his tail was swollen to three times it's normal size right at it's base and that it was bent at a funny angle =(

I felt like dying just seeing him like that and instanly felt that I'd failed to protect him and keep him safe... like I was the worst Mommy in the whole world. I know he doesn't blame me, but I feel awful about it anyway =(

Today I took him to the vet and although I couldn't afford to get Xrays done, the veterinarian seemed quite convinced that his tail is not broken as I 'd suspected. He'd actually been bitten by another cat when he got out and ran off for a few hours two nights before that. Apparently it take a few days for a bite to become infected and swell up like that. My poor baby!!

If I thought that money was tight before, I had no idea just how much worse it could get! I spent $150.00 at the vet today and if Flea's condition doesn't improve in the days to come, I will need to come up with another $150.00 for Xrays... not to mention that he needs to get his shots and has yet to be neutered. I've been on the waiting list at the Upland Animal Shelter for free neutering services for about four months now, and they say it's possible I'll get in before the end of the year... but who really knows for sure.

My Vet Hospital charges around $200.00 for that service and they also provide pain medication and after care, which is nice. I'd like to get it done there if I can get enough of you to support my cause here! =)

So here is what I'm asking of you... If you find that my cause is worthy and/or you would just like to help me out with these expenses because you've seen and fallen in love with Flea too, won't you please consider making a pledge to help me meet my goal of raising at least $500.00?

Any anount you can pledge would be greatly appreciated, and get this..... if I fail to raise my minimum amount of $500.00 in pledges before the time is up, noone pays a penny! Only if I reach my goal amount will your pledge be processed. How cool is that?!

Thanks for your time and consideration in this matter, you have no idea how much this means to me!!!

....and Flea thanks you too =^..^=


===UPDATE = 7/20/2008 = UPDATE===

Thanks to everyone for helping out!

Let me just say that Flea is feeling and looking much better! Looks like Xrays wont be neccesary after all.

So far this seems to be going quite well! I just wanted to make clear that any money raised through this fundraiser will be used for the cause stated.

If I am able to raise more than the $500, let me assure you that I will use it to purchase pet insurance for Flea!

Anything beyond that will be donated to HOPE (Helping Out Animals Everyday).

I'll report everything to all contributors in am email when it's complete.

Thanks again, you guys are awesome!

Please help Rama have surgery

http://www.fundable.com/groupactions/groupaction.2008-07-10.5224186564/image_maxi

Rama has a tarsometatarsal luxation of the left hind leg, the bones beneath his hock have seperated and the tendons are

torn. This kind of injury requires the bones to be fused together
to save the leg from amputation. The surgery will be performed
through a rescue org., and to bring him home, I have to pay off the surgery bill before an application is received for him.

Thank you, Karen

For your kind donation, here is Rama's story. - RAMA the Rescue Dog -



"I can't believe this is happening. Where's my mom, my brother?
What kind of place is this? I'm scared and just want to go home," Rama
thought. "My leg hurts so bad and I don't know any of these
two-leggeds. Where are my people," he kept asking, but nobody could
understand him. "What happened to the girl who helped me off the gate,
Thalia she was called," he thought. Later that day Thalia did come
back, after finding out the owner she returned him to had taken him to
the pound insted of the vet. You see, when Rama had jumped the gate,
his foot became wedged between the verticle bars of the 4ft gate, and
the rectangular steel fencing attached to it. Thalia, a neighbor, had
to lift him up to get his foot unstuck as the rest of Rama's body hung
over the gate off the ground. "Oh boy, oh joy," thought Rama when he
saw Thalia coming to get him and hopefully take the pain away. " Why
does my foot hurt so much?", he asked her. Not understanding dog talk,
she just told him everything would get better soon.
At the vets, Thalia found out Rama had a tarsometatarasal
luxation requiring the bones to be fused in that area. She sent out a
call for help and I answered and brought Rama home. Now he and I need
your help as the surgery will cost at least $2,000 and is a sum I can't
afford alone. The pain is gone, but the bones need fusing. "I'm a good
boy, right mom" Rama thought. Yes Rama you are the best!!

Dela's Luxating Patella Surgery



Please
understand that this surgery is MANDATORY for her to live a normal
life. Both back knees are so bad that she has been on an
anti-inflammatory since she was a year old and without the surgery she
will be totally unable to get up and down in another year. She is a
super sweet gal and would make a wonderful pet for a family but no one
will adopt her with her needing this surgery. It is not just your
typical small dog luxating patella but it is to the extent that
arthritis at 3 years old is already setting in and the longer we have
to wait the worse it gets. Our rescue group has been hit hard with many
unexpected expenses in the last few weeks - 6 heartworm positives, a
puppy with a broken jaw, a Jack who had been used as a "bait dog" who
came in with bites all over his legs - he also was heartworm positive
and unfortunately before he could be treated, he had a blood clot break
loose and died. We have a huge bill on Fraser as well. It seems that
poor Dela gets pushed back when all of these emergencies come up but it
has reached point where SHE is our emergency but due to decreased
adoptions, there is no money for this without help. PLEASE open your
hearts for her and the other dogs - every little bit is appreciated and
will go to helping these shelter dogs looking for their chance to lead
a wonderful life for the remainder of their lives. Thanks from the
bottom of all our hearts (two legged and four legged).

Vet Bill for Trixie's leg surgery



Our
little dog, Trixie, got out of the back yard last Monday night June 30,
because when Mary left, her arms were loaded with laundry and she could
not close the gate securely fast enough. Not unusual, but Trixie
usually returns very quickly, after making a quick tour of the
neighborhood. She did not return as usual, so I searched, and found she
had been struck by a car in front of my next door neighbor's house. We
are a family of four, my daughter Mary and her two children and I.
After months of unemployment, Mary, had found work about a month ago,
and we were recovering from serious financial depletion. I am a retired
teacher, living on very limited income. So when our little friend was
hurt, it was a serious blow to all of us, emotionally, and financially.

Trixie is about 3 or 4 years old, was a throw-away puppy, that we
took in. She is an excellent "mouser' and watch dog. She is rather
small, but very energetic, and well-behaved. We never spent much time
training her, as she just seemed to sense what we want her to do. The
oly "bad" behavior she indulges in is swiping some of the dry cat food
from the cat feeding dish if we aren't looking. She never chewed up
shoes, or went to the bathroom inside the house, unless there was no
one here to open the door for her. She surely did not deserve to be
injured by one of the young pick-up truck drivers who use out street on
week-ends and during summer vacation for a race-way. We have asked for
better police patrol, but our force is perpetually understaffed. So,
even since the high price of gasoline has somewhat slowed the local
teen traffic, we know that there is still one driver who is not
deterred from driving too fast in a residential area by injuring a
beloved pet.



Our little dog had a pelvic bone that is fractured in three places.
The vet says these breaks will heal themselves, but the leg is knocked
out it its socket, and just below the ball joint there is a break that
needs surgical repair. Our budget is so tight, but we will postpone
many needs and even paying some bills, in order to save our pet from
pain and perhaps euthanasia. I would rather have her put down that see
her suffer. However, we love her very much, and we are all
broken-hearted at the prospect of having to end her life to preserve
her from a painful existence.


She is very determined to return to normal! Even when under the
influence of pain medication, she tries to stand on all four of her
legs. I have her confined to a bed on a foam cushion between my own bed
and the wall, and surrounded by barriers to prevent too much movement.
However, she one night this week seemed to be trying to climb into my
bed! She is in good health except for the injuries in this :accident."
She has a good appetite, and we have kept her hydrated with a dropper
when she could not lap water on her own.



Trixie has had one litter of puppies, three very lively, smart
little ones who were adopted quickly. We planned to have her spayed
soon, but now any funds for that are going to this surgery. We have
applied for aid from United Animal Nation, however, and the perhaps the
spaying can be done at the same time as the leg surgery if that
application is approved.


We need some help here to save this good little pet friend. I have
a car that I can sell, and a small rent house that is up for sale, but
income from those assets is not yet available. My credit is stretched
to the limit from supporting the family during Mary's unemployment
period. The little dog is in pain and great distress now, and she is
definitely worth the sacrifice. Please help us with whatever is
possible.

I am seeking financial assistance so my dogs can recieve medical treatment. Dixie (St. Bernard/Rottie mix) needs hip replacement surgery. Dixie is now recovering for Lyme's disease.

Priscilla needs treatment for a collapsed disk in her spine that has caused her to lose mobility on her left side.

I do not have the means to pay for the medical care they need. Both dogs are both taking medication to control their symptoms but need more evasive treatment.

I am employed and my partner is unemployed. He are barely able to pay our household bills and the veterinary bills for the dogs. We need financial assistance so our dogs can recieve the treatment they need.

Their vet is Dr. Kevin Dill at Animal Health Clinic in Fargo, ND 701-237-9310.

Thank you,
David Handy

Junior's Cancer Fund



Please Help

The tumor in his mouth is growing at a alarming rate.

Thanks to the kind people who help those in need here at Fundable,I was able to get Junior in to see a Vet.

I thank you people from the bottom of my heart. All of you are angels.

The Bad News......Junior has TWO cancerous tumors. One in his mouth and one on his anus

The vet is most concerned with the one on his anus,she fears it may
grow and cut off his anal passage,making it difficult if not impossible
for him to deaficate.
She would like to remove that one,problem is she thinks that if
going to put him under for operation then both tumors should be
removed.The tumor in his mouth is growing larger seems almost daily.

At his age the anathesia has to be VERY carefully administerd and that is what drives the cost up.

The operation will cost app. $1000.00 or so. I can handle some of the cost but to get this done soon I need some help.

I am hoping that once again some angels will help Junior. I am asking for $700.00 once I get that then I can schedule with

the vet a operation for him. If all goes well he could live a few more years as he deserves all and more.



other items the vet found ...he has body warts that are normal for a dog his age. no treatment needed.

She did discover he has a bad ear infection and that is being treated.

Also, he got a haircut to remove about 2 pounds of hair and now he looks half his size but is Soooo much more

comfortable in this Texas heat.

I am trying to find more work so I can help more with his expenses but times are very tight and not having much luck.

Thanks to any that help,you are all God's Angels for what you do

I WISH Financial Assistance to Help With Vet Bills For My Sick Kitty

I WISH Financial Assistance to Help With Vet Bills For My Sick Kitty






I am a disabled individual on SSI, who has been struggling monthly with
what the system provides. I have a wonderful 12 year old companion
kitty, Bandit, who has been diabetic for the last 2 and 1/2 years. He
has been up-chucking his food every now and again recently, and needs
to be checked out by a Vet. [He's previous one is no longer with us].

I
very much need your kind financial assistance in being able to get
Bandit a thorough Glucose panel [involves all day testing], complete
blood panel and tox screen, with liver enzymes, UA testing, possible
fecal testing; and whatever else a new Veterinarian would require, plus
medications.

Bandit means the world to me, and is more than just
a pet. . .he's therapeutic value is invaluable, and truly is beyond
description.

Bandit is my Baby; and because of huge Emergency
Vet Hospital Bill [over %3,500], I often due without basic necessities,
to make sure he is taken care of, and the huge monthly payment is made.
It is hard, what with two mortgage payments, Prop. Taxes, Prop Ins.,
Car Ins., meds that are not covered...and the list goes on.

Bottom
line is to get my Baby seen and evaluated; re-adjust his insulin if
necessary, a 'good' special diet that agrees with his tummy, and all
the other things he needs to manage his diabetes, so there will be more
happy, healthy, mischievous years left in my BBB![Big Beautiful Boy]

Thank you for reading. And, I want you to know I most greatly support any help you can offer!

Donations needed for MRI and possible surgery

Misti Colon submitted the following Information:
Email mistinedgar630@aol.com
Location Long Branch NJ



Dear People who we don't know but implore for help:

We are the Colon family in Long Branch NJ. Our beloved PitBull
love machine, Boo Boo, who loves bunnies and birds and kitties and us
(and goodies) somehow hurt her cervical disc(s) in her spine, thus pinching
a vital nerve of her left leg. We aren't 100% sure because she suddenly
appeared injured and $1000.00 we didn't have but have spent later, we're told
she needs an MRI and possibly surgery. It has been weeks and we have tried
medicines and crate rest but her left leg goes limp. at times, she
can "semi walk" but walks on the knuckle/joint above her paw. Her
paw and or toes get curled in and sometimes, she falls!

We have to carry her outside to pee and poo and she's not allowed
to walk on her own. She's 50ish pounds and I anm 5 feet tall but I struggle
and carry her because I love her like a child. My husband has a bad knee
and a hernia (we have no health insurance) and he carries her, too!
That's how much we love her! We have cried and cried and neeeeed
your help!

My husband had surgery in Feb and just went back to work in
March. He works at the Olive garden (for 15 years) and only makes
$14.90/hr. and never gets 40 hours but rather 35-36, somewhere in there.

I just started to work for a new job in Jan. 2008 and was let go
on April 20 because the company I worked for lost the contract with
the hospital I was employed by. I have no job but have been online
day and night. I have an Associates Degree as a Human Service Professional
and in NJ without your Bachelors or Masters, you cannot get licensed
in socialwork, hence; most hobs only want to pay me $12/13/hr.
With $1300 rent, $125 budget electric, $110 gas budget, $311 car
insurance, $10 AOL, $200 cell phones a month (have adhd teen)
and an old, 8 cylinder car, we really struggle and juggle.

We keep a very simple eye, don't have cable, never go out and have
a teenager and a menagerie of pets who we care for. We are not
eccentric collectors and out of responsibility in our natures as well as
finances, we don't and won't have anymore pets. (2 dogs, 4 cats, 3 birds
a rabbit and a guinea pig) (Boo Boo is one of our 2 dogs.)

We have never asked for your help but we're beside ourselves.

We found Boo Boo our beloved babydog (She's 7 in July.)
when we lost our baby daughter (I was 5.5 months pregnant.)
and we cannot even imagine her having to be euthanized.

PLEASE! PLEASE HELP HER! BEING BEYOND WORDS GRATEFUL
AND BEING IN OUR PRAYERS FOREVER IF YOU DO, WE
PROMISE FOR ETERNITY!

In God's love and through prayer we
sincerely ask,

Misti & Ed Colon

Special Needs Kittens in New Jersey need Loving Home

Toby and Lucy are approximately 8 weeks old. They were both born

missing a portion of one of their hind legs. They get around well by

hopping. Toby is missing only his toes, but it seems to be painful

for him to put any weight on the rest of his limb. He may require

another amputation in the future. For the meantime, he just hops

around like Lucy. Lucy is missing her leg right below the knee. She

is slower to get around than Toby, but gets along just fine.



Toby is the adventurous brother. He is very curious and was always

the first kitten to figure things out. He learned how to eat dry

food when he was 3 weeks old! He also loves attention and has a

mighty purr!! He is also extremely patient and has a wonderful

temperament.



Lucy is the cuddler. She developed a tad slower than her siblings

because of her more significant disability. Because of this, she was

always sitting in my lap. Whenever I walk into their room, she looks

up at me with the cutest face that is begging me to sit down so she

can crawl into my lap. She is the sweetest girl with a calm and

loving personality.



Toby and Lucy need a family who will love them for who they are.

They need someone to constantly inspect their limbs to make sure they

don't develop sores that could lead to an additional amputation.

They also need a family that is financial able and willing to pay for

any additional surgeries if it becomes necessary. These two kittens

are precious and full of energy. They will make a wonderful addition

to any family!



Please email me if you are interested in meeting these sweet babies.
