CLICK HERE to pledge your donation to Kylee


This little one has a good start here, she already has $360 secured can you help with the rest??

Kylee
is only 5 months old. We came home from work and she had dislocated her
hip. We took her to the emergency vet only to find out her hip couldn't
be put back in place and we have to have surgery done to create a
"false joint" so she can walk again. And walk again without pain. She
is only 5 months old!!!

Max Needs Medicine and we need help to get it



CLICK HERE to pledge your donation for Max


Max
is a wonderful 10-year-old Chocolate Lab. We adopted Max about 8 months
ago from his life-long family who was transferred out of the country.
We knew Max has Addison's Disease which means he gets a shot of
hormones every 25 days. We were fully prepared to take on the expense
and welcomed Max into our home, where is now a great companion for our
8-year-old Black Lab, Remy. Having rescued Labs for many years, we know
they often come with high medical expenses.



Then the unexpected. I was recently laid off from my job. My
husband is self-employed and his work is sparse now, during the winter.



Max's drugs are $1600.00 per year. I know I can get a job within 6
months, so I am looking for funding for his medications for 6 months.


If you can contribute to Max's Medicine Fund, he will think you are
fantanstic. After I get a job, if any of the contributions are left, we
will donate it to Lab Rescue. So no matter what, everybody wins!

Please Help! My dog, "Soldier" needs an operation

My dog, "Soldier" needs an operation for his nostrils, he has a hard
time breathing because his nostrils are way too small so he snores when
he walks around.



A vet near by referred me to another vet and they are charging a bit
above 4000 for the surgery I can't afford that so I need help.



This is not a cosmetic surgery he has a hard time playing and running around.

Please Help "Gruff" with frozen foot!



CLICK HERE to pledge your donation for Gruff


Gruff
snuck out of the house and by the time he was recovered, he was half
frozen. He had to have his front paw removed and we are waiting to see
if his ear tips are going to regain circulation. This has put our
family in a financial burdon as the heating bills in this weather are
taking up most of our savings.



Gruff is a great cat and has been in the family since we adopted
him for our 5 year old daughter 3 years ago. Please help us help Gruff.



We feel blessed that we even got him back alive. Gruff will never
been the same but he sure has been a fighter trying to do the things he
did before this all happened.



Thank you for your help! God Bless!

Donations Needed: Little Homeless Kitty's Leg Severed by Dog



CLICK HERE to pledge your donation for Tiger Lilly


Saving Tiger Lily

One morning, my husband Stew heard what first sounded like a cat
screeching from an altercation with another cat. Then the screeching
became so unusually loud and intense that he ran outdoors to
investigate. He saw three dogs chomping down on a four-pound feral cat
who was airborne, fighting for her life. Stew immediately jumped over
the four-foot fence and pounced on the dogs to force them to let go of
the kitty. Soon after, I ran out to find the terrified little one
hiding under a dilapidated motorcycle. It did not take long for me to
grab protective gloves and a small recovery cage for an immediate trip
to the animal hospital. I thank God that the hospital could take her
right away.
Her back left femur was fractured and completely severed.
Remarkably, that was her only major injury. The animal hospital assured
us that, once her leg heals fully from the surgery, she will be able to
jump, climb and otherwise live a normal life. Even if she never wants
to climb a tree again, it is comforting to know she will not be
crippled for life.
Before the dog attack, Tiger Lily was feral, never allowing us
touch her nor come anywhere close to her. Now, as she recovers in room
in our home, she is accepting love, food and medicine. She purrs as
each of us holds her for long periods. I imagine she is warming up to
us because she understands on some level that we are helping her with
her broken leg. Speaking of which, some of her lacerations healed well
after only a week. Thanks to my husband's bravery and love for animals,
she has a safe indoor life ahead of her.



With x-rays, meds, special food, surgery and follow-up visits, the
bill totaled $1,190. I charged it with the Vet hospital. My husband is
out of work. I support the two of us. I need help paying off Tiger
Lily's bill.

Thank you ever so much for your kind heart.

SC - Blind female 6 y/o cocker needs a new home

I
am trying to find a cocker rescue for a friend’s dog. She is a red
cocker spaniel approximately 6-7 years old. Her name is Georgia she is
house potty trained and she is blind. My friend Cathy Thomason
(803-730-9692)
just separated from her husband and has had to move into
an apartment. Cathy and her daughters are on the 4th floor
and Georgia is not doing well with all the stairs and turns. She is
use to having a yard where she can make landmarks for herself. Georgia
has to be pulled or carried up and down 4 flights of stairs multiple
times daily. Yet she will not go potty outside and acts extremely
nervous therefore she has been having accidents in the apartment. I
know it is difficult to place a special needs dog but any help would
greatly be appreciated. You can contact me at the number below or
Cathy at the number above.

Thank you,

Kimber needs surgery on her leg! Please help us!



CLICK HERE to pledge your donation to help Kimber


Technically
I need $600.00 for Kimbers surgery, but honestly any donations that we
get will help with paying the costs of her surgery. I am lowering the
collection amount to $200.00, but anything I mean any small donation
will help. Again She is going into surgery Jan 29, if you do not donate
at least pray that she will come out and eventually be able to use her
leg. I am also going to be scanning vet records and x-rays in my
computer tonight so you can look for yourself! Thank you for all your
support!



My dog Kimber broke her leg when she was about 9 weeks. She had a
cast on for about 5 weeks but it never healed properly. She is now
almost 6 months old and still can't completley use her leg. I went to
the vet and they told me that they need to open up her leg and put pins
in her leg so the bones can join together properly...she also has bones
chips in her leg close to her growth plate which is painful and is
causing her leg not to grow, they need to take the bone chips out
around the growth plate. The estimate that they gave me was for
$1200.00 which I can afford half because I have Care Credit (which is
like a credit card for your animals) but my limit is only $600.00. I am
asking for any kind donations to help me fix Kimbers leg. Please, this
would mean the world to myself and Kimber!



Update: I just spoke with my vet and they told me that I have to
get Kimber into surgery by January 29 because that is when the surgeon
is going to be in. I cannot describe how much I appreciate the
donations that Kimber and I have already recieved. I just want her to
play like a normal puppy and she can't because of her leg. It kills me
in side to see her limp around with that lifeless leg! I will keep
everyone posted. Kimber is going into the vet tomorrow to x-ray more to
see exaclty how many pins they are going to have to put in along with
how bad the growth plate is damaged.



Thank you again!



Lindsay and Kimber

Pledge your donation to help Feral Cat TNR Clinics



CLICK HERE to pledge your donation to help the TNR group meet it's goal


Our
small TNR group would like to conduct spay and neuter clinics for feral
cats on a regular basis. The cost to spay and neuter 50 cats is about
$1000. Our veterinarian will do two clinics a month if all the costs
are covered. We also take cats in to be s/n throughout the week.

The more clinics we can do before "kitten season" starts and the
more cats we spay and neuter, the more lives can be saved. More than
85% of cats and kittens are killed in the local shelters. Trap Neuter
and Return for feral and stray cats is acknowledged by many as the most
humane way of dealing with the overpopulation of these cats.

We can stop the killing if we can stop the breeding.



Our group sterilized 260 cats in 2007 and hope to double that number in 2008.

My puppy Lily needs surgery..please help her




CLICK HERE to pledge your donation for Lilly


Lily
is my 8 month old poodle. She is suffering with luxating patellas on
her rear knees, (dislocated kneecaps). Surgery is estimated at
$1500-$2,000. I am selling all I can to raise the money for her. She is
already falling alot, and if the knees are not corrected soon it could
cause more damage, and later even more extensive surgery. The vet wants
to do the right back knee first and then in 8 weeks do the left back
knee. I am using Justin Veterinary Hospital in Justin, TX.
You can read more about this condition at: http://vetsurgerycentral.com/patella.htm



Any help is very much appreciated. And if you can't help please say
a prayer that she will be good as new soon. I have fostered and aided
over 30 dogs in 2007, and now that one of my own needs help I am in a
dilema!
Thank you

now is a good home. Can you help?

MO/SPECIAL NEEDS 27 lb Mix girl seeking foster care or rehoming




EMAIL CONTACT:
kristinawak@yahoo.com

Hailey is a special dog, she has a medical issue and needs help! She is
loosing the only home that ever was willing to work on her tummy
trouble with her.

Owner is in crisis: Must part with special dog: "Hailey is still
continuing to battle the chronic diarrhea issues and is being treated
by a Vet in Columbia. This is her third vet in under 2 years. To date,
no one can tell me what is wrong with Hailey. She has been on numerous
antibiotics, dog foods and prescription Hills Science diet. She has
been on wet and dry in the i/d, z/d, and w/d. They would start with the
wet for weight gain and move to dry. None of the dog foods helped.



She is normally healthy and playful, we just can't seem to get her
tummy situation under control for her to have a solid stool. It breaks
my heart to find her a new home but I know that she is not thriving in
this environment and cannot live life in a crate.

NC: Blind puppy needs foster or home!!

Hi All!!






This is Reesie, a 4 week old chocolate lab/? puppy who is blind. His mother was abandoned
at a trailer park in Randolph County, North Carolilna. The people had left her tied outside
and the neighbors started to feed her. It was then they discovered her 11 puppies!
Unfortunately, mom was hit by a car and killed and the puppies were taken to a shelter and
into foster care. All the puppies except Reesie have homes waiting for them. His blindness
is congenital and his foster mom was going to have him euthanized. She is worried that he
would not have a happy life. But he is so healthy, gentle and loving and growing fast she
has put it off 3 times.



My step sister contacted me and I have been sending her information
about blind animals and the fact that they can have a very fullfilling life. We are taking
Reesie into Pets Come First and are looking for a foster home and/or adoptive home. Being
only 4 weeks, I would like to find him a foster home for several weeks till he is old enough
for his vaccinations.

If you can help, please contact Deb Warner at 814-345-6637.

Please feel free to crosspost and any help would be appreciated!! Thanks!!

Please Help My Baby, Sybil Before I Have To Put Her To Sleep




Click Here to pledge your donation for Sybil

Our dog Sybil has torn her ACL and needs to have surgery. Normally my family
and I wouldn't ask for help but due to a cut back in hours at my job we simply
just can't afford the much needed surgery. We think of Sybil as one of the
family and if we can't find the money for the surgery then my family and I will
be forced to put her to sleep.We would hate to lose a member of the family but
the surgery is over $2,000 and we don't have enough money to pay for it.
Especially since we just paid out almost $600 for x-rays and medication.

Sybil
is a mastiff mixed, and she doesn't understand that she is a dog. We found her
along the interstate one day while we were driving and she was just wandering
with no where to go. We took her in as a rescue dog planning to find her a home
and family but while we were searching we realized that she had a home all along
and that we were her family. Sybil has brought so many joys to our life, and is
a family hero. Sybil did sleep in the bed with my daughter until she was
injured. Now inorder to get up and down the three steps we have to go outside,
my daughter and I have to try and carry her up the steps. Her back legs at
least. We can provide documents for anyone who would like to see them. We love
her so much and we don't know what we would do without her. As you can see in
the picture my daughter and Sybil are very close, they are inseperable. I would
hate to see what she would go through if we had to put Sybil to sleep. Any
amount that you can donate will be greatly appreciated. We will provide updates
on Sybil if we are able to have the surgery. Please help us.

Help ANNABELLE get surgery to save a crooked & painful leg



Click Here to pledge your donation!




ANNABELLE, a 1 year old pit puppy, is in dire need of surgery to correct her
crooked and painful leg. Can you help her??

The Friends of Orange County
Homeless Pets rescued this adorable puppy. She's a sweetheart. However, her leg
was broken and no one paid attention to it or got her help. The leg was allowed
to re-grow very crooked and is painful for her. It is now 2 to 3 inches shorter
then her other leg which will cause back and shoulder problems.

The
surgery will cost $2000.00. FOCHP is putting this goal @ about half, or $800.00.


FOCHP is committed to helping ANNABELLE get her surgery. However, they've
been hit with over $5000.00 in medicals/surgeries for a slew of recent rescues
from this high-kill shelter [the shelter does not perform any surgeries but
spay/neuter]:


Felix [little terrier mix] had an operation for
intramedulary pinning - broken leg;
Elliott [terrier mix ] broken leg - bone
fracture;
TomTom [senior maltese mix] 18 teeth pulled;
Missy [pointer mix
] broken leg;
Snowy [pit puppy] had pneumonia

It goes on an on but
these are the largest & total about $5,000! The well is dry!

Can you
help ANNABELLE get her surgery? ANY AMOUNT will be so helpful and so much
appreciated!

ANNABELLE THANKS YOU - SHE DOES!!

Donations needed to help fix Emmie-the-cat's teeth!



CLICK HERE TO PLEDGE YOUR DONATION

My
adopted cat Emmie has a condition called stomatitis. Her immune system
is eating away at her teeth and it is extremely painful for her. She
has trouble eating and has lost weight as a result. Regrettably, the
only real treatment is to extract all of the teeth from her canines
back. We've already tried two or three courses of antibiotics, and none
of them had any effect. Recently I had to pay $850 to a collection
agency for something my roommate did to avoid going to court since my
name was also on the lease. That money would have been used for Emmie's
treatment. Her sister Sherbie had the same condition, and same
treatment, two years ago. Within a few days Sherbie was back to eating
her usual dry food with no problems and has actually gained weight.
Sherbie's procedure cost $550.



At this point in time I prepare Emmie's food separately by running
her dry food through a coffee grinder to pulverize it, then I add a
pouch of Meow Mix wet food, The Missing Link supplement powder,
KittyVite vitamin paste, CatMilk if I have any, and water. She would
prefer to just eat the Meow Mix pouches, but I need to stretch them
this way to make them last. Since my father died from lung cancer I
have been unemployed and getting treatment for depression. I've
returned to school to finish my degree, but I am on a very limited
income (about $7000/year) and am receiving Food Stamps. I had been
using my credit cards to make up the differences, but I can't afford to
make the payments anymore on $15,000 in credit card debt.



I am actually looking for part-time work while I'm in school but so
far have not had any success. I don't like being in this position, I
don't like feeling like a charity case, and it is embarrassing to admit
to anyone that I am in this situation. However, Emmie needs help pretty
urgently. I don't qualify for Care Credit since I don't have a job, and
I know the operation is going to be expensive. I don't want to give up
my cats, who are like my babies to me, because sometimes, with my
depression, they are all that keep me going day-to-day.



Please help if you can, even if it's just a couple of dollars. If
the minimum amount isn't met in 25 days, the collection is null and
void and you owe nothing. Right now I am collecting pledges, NOT money.
$35 is the fee to the Fundable website if the minimum is reached.

Buddy needs donations for surgical repair of broken leg




YOU CAN DONATE BY CLICKING HERE


This is Buddy rescued personally by me on Jan. 1, 2007. Buddy is a
chocolate lab under 1 year of age. Buddy darted across a road and was
hit on the back end by a car. The driver of the car got out checked her
car and got back in and drove away. She left Buddy in the middle of the
road while other cars zoomed by. We brought Buddy to my house and
called animal control. Upon their arrival I was informed that Buddy
would be put to sleep if they were to take him so I opted to adopt him.
(All resources were used to find Buddy's natural owners with no luck.)
I took Buddy to the vet for xrays to find the extent of the damage. His
back right leg as been broken in 2 seperate places. One of the breaks
is close to the body and completely separated the other at the growth
plate which caused the bones to shift a little. Buddy will need to have
surgery including placing a plate in the leg to hold the bones together
for healing. With this surgery and lots of love Buddy will recover and
grow to become a healthy and happy dog. Buddy is friendly to children,
adults and other animals even after the surgery.



THE SURGERY'S COST START AT $2000 so I am trying to raise a small
percentage to help with this unexpected expense. Any amount above and
beyond will greatly be helpful and appreciated. I have to have him back
to the vet within a week and a half to have the surgery performed
before the bone starts to heal the way that it is broken. He is being
seen by a vet in Goose Creek, South Carolina. All fund will be going
straight to this vet for the cost of restoring Buddy's health.



PLEASE HELP ME GIVE THIS BEAUTIFUL DOG A CHANCE TO A HEALTHY AND HAPPY LIFE.



THANK YOU

BEBE,ARK - MEDICAL donations needed for injured DOG

IMMEDIATE donations needed for injured and
terrified Beebe AC (ARK) dog - PLEASE SUPPORT HIM!




Toivo (Toy-voh), a masculine, Finnish name
that means hope, arrived at Beebe AC prior to Christmas. He was brought
in as a stray, riddled by the head/neck ailment shown below. At the time
he arrived, ACO labeled him feral, dog friendly and people aggressive based on
his own interaction with the dog. During my first visit to the shelter
on the 26th of December, I noted that this scrawny, male dog, happily settled
in with a friendly male Beagle he adores, tentatively came up to his
cage door to sniff at my hand as well as that of the local kennel
director. On Friday, I photographed all of the new urgents at Beebe AC,
and am currently in the process of developing a new rescue plea (should be
published late Sunday night, 30 December). A different ACO let Toivo out
of his pen and in to the shelter yard, where he promptly hid himself on a
table ledge. Over a 45 minute period of time, I remained near this dog,
observing his actions and allowing him to come near me (via the edge of the
table ledge) when he chose, and touched him gently on the side of his face
numerous times. By the end of the photo session, all dogs were put back
in to the heated metal building except for Toivo. It was clear that he would
have to be put back in his pen. I took a breath, reached out, put each
of my hands on the boy's sides and after a few minutes, began to pull him
toward me. He yielded to my arms and let me gingerly carry him back
to his pen as he lay paralyzed with fear.
My
assessment - NOT feral at all...rather extremely frightened and in pain.





Numerous observations lead to a general
assessment that this dog has been repeatedly beaten in the past. He is
malnourished and carrying the burden of an unknown injury or ailment at the
rear of his head/top of neck. We are asking you to help us get this dog to the
local vet for x-rays and a thorough examination in order to determine what we
are dealing with.


If you can help by donating, please do! If
you are unable to donate $$$ at this time, please support this emergency
treatment plea by passing it along to those you think might be able to assist.


Donations are needed immediately.
