Help Valentino (Rescued Chihuahua) Get His Leg Surgery

Valentino is an
adorable little 1-yr old Chihuahua who was rescued from the Harbor
Animal Shelter (San Pedro) where his was a favorite amongst the shelter
volunteers. This little guy is quite a charmer (hence the name), but he
has an old leg injury that needs to be repaired so he can walk right
again!

$160 raised so far!

Before coming to the shelter, Valentino had broken his leg as a pup and
his previous owners never took him to the Vet to get it fixed (can you
imagine... who would let their puppy stay in that condition for all
those months?). Now Valentino tries to walk with a wobbly, crooked leg,
but really needs corrective surgery so he can have full use of it
again.

Thanks to a caring Vet specialist, leg surgery will only cost
$500 (a surgery that would otherwise cost $3000!). It was too good of a
deal to pass up, so we are collecting donations. So please help spread
the word :-)

If you would like to make a donation, it will all go towards Valentino's surgery .

Please help raise funds for Kitten Veterinary Surgery

CLICK HERE to pledge your donation to help this little one

$60 has been raised so far!


About a week ago i found a kitten in the parking lot of a middle school
by my house. She was up inside the engine of a truck. I saw her come
down and then i went over to see if i could pick her up. she was very
sweet and friendly and came right up to me. After i took her home i
discovered she had a limp so i took her to the humane society and put a
hold on her if the original owner didnt come forward to claim her
because shes super sweet and i wanted to keep her. So today i went back
to the shelter to pick her up and i took her straight to the vet for a
exam and x-rays for the leg. After the X-rays came back it turns out
she has a fracture on her right rear leg where the bone and the
ball-joint connect. we dont know for sure but she might have been hit
by a car or injured it somewhere along her journey. Its causing her a
lot of discomfort and i dont have the funds to pay for her surgery. The
vet quoted me at around 1100-1200 for surgery including a spay and all
the necessary things that go along witht he surgery.

I've managed to get some help from a couple people who help pay for
animals surgeries when the owner cannot come up with all the funds
needed but thats only about $200. I pretty much spent my last $200
today on x-rays and pain meds and antibiotics for her cold. So im
pretty much in a bind right now and it upsets me to see hurt animals.
especially cats.

I was wondering if anyone out there would like to help me by donating
any amount of money or have any ideas on what i could do. Anything
would help.

I know most of you would feel uncomfortable donating money to a
stranger on the internet thats why if you wouldnt be willing to do that
id set it up so you could put it straight through to the hospital where
i will be getting the surgery performed.

If anyone has questions please call me: 619-847-5598

Emergency Medical Fund for Uber's Leg Surgery

CLICK HERE to pledge your donation for Uber's care

$340 HAS BEEN RAISED SO FAR!

Can you help Uber?



Uber was abandoned in the night drop box at Berkeley Animal Control
several months ago. She had a severely infected broken jaw. She was
only 7 weeks old.



We brought Uber to the Berkeley-East Bay Humane Society (BEBHS)
veterinary hospital and treated her broken jaw and infection.
Unfortunately after her jaw healed, we discovered her left rear leg is
growing abnormally.



Uber needs specialized surgery beyond our capacity to fix her
injured leg. The estimated cost of the surgery is $4,000. We’ve
tried to find her a home in spite of her medical condition, but
we’ve been unlucky so far.


Uber is a sweet, likely purebred, Doberman and is crate trained,
house broken, and trained in basic obedience. She adores people and
dogs, and is spayed and up to date on her shots.



If you are interested in learning more about Uber, please contact
Mary Giuffrida at 510-845-7735 or mgiuffrida@berkeleyhumane.org. If you
have questions about your donation to the Berkeley-East Bay Humane
Society's Emergency Medical Fund, please contact the Development
Department at (510) 845-7735 ext.19.



Please help Uber and the many other wonderful animals who, like
her, need emergency care and a second chance for a wonderful life.



Thank you!

In need of love and a home: very skinny tripod pup

Owner Turn-in.
Seems fairly young. Didn't get along with owner's other dog.
Friendly with me this morning. Already Neutered. About 40 lb. Small for
a Lab.

Dear God, somebody please get this poor, skinny, three legged young dog
out of this pound. Please. He is an owner turn in because the 'owner's'
other dog didn't like him....please, you know that means he has little
to no time. I don't know why this one has hit me so hard; maybe because
he is so skinny...or maybe I'm wondering how he lost his leg....or
maybe, because he looks like he's never known joy, but still has a
little HOPE that he might someday. There is a transport toward Chicago
next weekend, and I'm sure we could find him transport in any other
direction if a rescue can help him, or if a good home could be found.
Even if you can foster for a while, just please, get him out of that
place....

Help needed for Jesse's amputation surgery

CLICK HERE to pledge your donation to help Jesse

Jesse(our 6 year old dog who is more like a family
member than a pet) needs to have her front leg amputated. 6 months ago
we had saved up enough money to have the vet look at her because her
leg was swelling and she had gone lame on it. Because of having to wait
there is no option except amputation. She can barely get around because
of the weight that she has to drag around. The Vet said the amputation
would be about $1400. In a few months, without help, I will be on here
asking for help to have her put down. My kids have already been through
the hell of losing a pet twice in the past 6 months and I pray daily
that they won't have to do it again. Thank you for anything you are
able to do and please pray for us.

Need Help with Sake's Vet Bills - Dog with Heart Disease and Cancer

CLICK HERE to pledge your donation for Sake's vet bills

Sake,
a black and white Japanese Chin dog, was diagnosed in January 2007 at
the age of seven with heart disease -mitral valve degeneration- and
placed on medication. In July 2007 he was also diagnosed with canine
lymphosarcoma - an invasive cancer - in his GI tract. He underwent
surgery to remove two tumors and seven weeks of chemotherapy, at which
point the cancer entered apparent remission. In September, Sake's heart
disease began to worsen and his medication was increased; but in
December he went into heart failure and had to be placed in an oxygen
tent for three days. Recently the medication began to impact his
kidneys as well and he went from 14 pounds to 10 pounds; one of his
owners, Elizabeth, gave him subcutaneous fluids for a week. It is now a
question of keeping Sake's medications balanced and not sending him
into heart failure again, while praying the cancer stays in remission.
Through it all, Sake remains a gentle, playful, bouncy, loving
dog with a wag in his tail. He is always ready to flirt with a girl or
nuzzle up to a child. We can't tell you what a special little guy he
is. He is still young for his breed and he deserves all the love and
care in the world.

Our collective medical bills (two of us are helping) on Sake's
treatment total over $20,000 and we have never asked for help before.
His condition has stabilized, and we'd like to keep it that way and see
him jump and bark again- we'd also like to help his owners pay off
their bills. To those who know and love Sake, anything will help, $10,
$20 - just 33 people donating $30 would take us to our goal, although
we'd like to raise more- and to those who don't- please imagine if it
were your puppy.

Lucille deaf dog with tumors needs vet care, can you help?

CLICK HERE to pledge your donation to Lucille's vet care

Lucille
is a cocker spaniel that after 9 years of giving litters of pups to the
puppy miller, she was tossed away like garbage. Now she is in our care
but needs a lot of medical care

Lucille
is totally deaf. That was confirmed by my vet. Doesn't stop her from
being the sweetest girl I have ever known. It always amazes me that
these mill kids can be so sweet when they have every reason in the
world to be mean and angry. Lucille loves and is thankful for every bit
of good food, every pet on the head and the warm bed she sleeps in!

I WISH for help so my ServiceDog, Zeke, Could Get A Cataract Operation

CLICK HERE to donate towards Zeke's cataract care

Zeke has had quite the life! He was an abused and abandoned dog, about
to be put down in an hour when he was rescued by a Christian
organization that trained Search and Rescue dogs. He spent two years
with them, learning obedience, agility and SAR. They say he was the
best at finding dead bodies, but then he would chase rabbits and
squirrels. Apparently that's what he ate before being placed in a
shelter.



Zeke was retrained and became my service dog. I have myasthenia gravis
and lupus. He is primarily a mobility dog, keeping me from falling,
helping me up from chairs and he tries to make me walk in a straight
line :-)



Zeke developed diabetes in 2005. I give him insulin shots twice a day
and he does well. A complication has been cataracts. He needs them
removed. I live on SSI disabilty and cannot afford that. I'm hoping
someone can help Zeke see well again. He certainly deserves it! Zeke is
a wonderful service dog, loved by all that meet him. It would probably
kill Zeke to retire him. He is an Australian shepherd with a strong
drive to work. He has many good years left.



The two pages of pictures are from when we lived in an underground
house on an organic farm in Vermont. Now Zeke, Aleka the cat and I live
in an apartment in Lakeland, Florida.

Help my Squeeker smile again!!!

CLICK HERE to pledge your donation to Squeeker

Hello,
this fundraiser is to help my cat Squeeker, aka Eurydice (because she
is so beloved by all who meet her) get her dental procedure so she can
eat, drink, and meow again. She has a fractured tooth that scratches
her tongue so she can't even clean herself now. The total procedure is
$250 and I have $100 from my savings to get her appointed in for this
Friday the 15th of February. The vet will give me 2 weeks to pay the
remainder because I have taken her there for 5 years. I lost my job of
10 years last year as they moved abroad to save money, and had to enter
a debt counseling program which froze all my credit cards. I took a job
making $5,000 less that is 30 miles from my home to make ends meet, and
it has eaten away all I had to keep things going. I would do anything
to help her, even resort to swallowing my pride and asking for help
from complete strangers. Please, if you can help me and Squeeker, I
would surely appreciate it!

Can you help Tess the Mastiff get her Surgery?

CLICK HERE to pledge your donation for Tess

WE
ARE IN NEED OF FINANCIAL HELP FOR TESS. Tess is a permanent foster of
Tiny Paws Wet Noses (a 501c rescue organization), living with the
wonderful family who rescued her.

Tess is a nine month old Old English Mastiff female. Tess is
missing her right front paw because the umbilical cord was wrapped
around it, resulting in the need to amputate the paw at six days old.
She was rescued before she could be taken to the shelter by her
breeder, who "didn't want to spend any more money on her". Tess has
amazed so many with her strong desire to do just about anything. She is
beautiful inside and out, and the most loving and happiest dog. Tess
has a way of charming her way into everyone’s heart. She plays
beautifully with dogs, from lying on the floor and gently playing with
a tiny dachshund, to rough- housing with the big dogs. She's gentle and
sweet with every person she meets, from the tiniest infant on up. She
has successfully completed the Family Manners and Intermediate classes
at the Canine Connection Dog Training, where her foster "mom" is an
instructor, and is ready for her Canine Good Citizen and Therapy Dog
tests.

About her surgery...

Tess first saw Dr Melvin Pond for an Orthopedic consult in August
in which several different options were discussed: amputation of the
leg, leaving things alone, and the possibility of a prosthetic implant.
As Tess grows larger every day (now over 100#), the strain on the rest
of her body (although not her attitude) has become obvious. Her stub
occasionally bleeds from walking or running too much and we try to
avoid pavement as much as we can.

Tess recently went back in to see Dr Pond and his staff to see
what they could suggest as the best option, due to the fact that she
has tripled in size since our last visit. Dr Pond and his staff were
pleasantly surprised to see good elbows and bones on her X-rays and her
strong will to make the best use of her shortened leg, so it has been
decided that Tess would be a great candidate for the implant. Plans are
currently in the works with the implant company and Dr Pond is working
out an estimate for her surgery.

1/25/07 update

Dr Pond and the implant company met this weekend the grand total
for the surgery is going to be between $6500.00- $7000.00 She will have
to be spayed before and will be getting up a cat-scan for her soon. We
have raised enough money for the CAT scan ($650)plus, but nowhere close
to the surgery cost.

2/5/07 Update

Tess had her CAT scan and charmed everyone at the vet's office. She will be spayed 2/20.

Special Animals Can Cost an Arm and a Leg

For inquiries about adopting Babygirl,
please ask to speak to Linda Hughes at 724-222-738

You will be hard-pressed to find a more amiable cat than “Babygirl” as she is now known. She relaxes in the arms of volunteers who marvel at her unusual physique. In her new digs, Babygirl has more than a “leg to stand on.” She actually has five legs to stand on, but not quite as efficiently as her four-legged roommates. Nonetheless she does get around and has no idea there is anything out of the ordinary about her … except that she has no family to care for her.
Baby Girl had her surgery on February 7th. Her overall health is good. When performing the surgery, the vet found that she also had a large hernia, only one kidney, both ovaries, but only one uterine horn. Both legs were amputated with no problems; the hernia was removed and she was spayed. We are hoping to have her back at the shelter in a day or two, Her prognosis is very good, and it is assumed that she will have a full recovery. She should be available for adoption in approximately three weeks.



We would like ot thank everyone who has contributed on behalf of Babygirl and especially to 9 Lives who pledged to cover all her medical bills.
*All donations in excess of what was necessary to treat Babygirl will be used for our other deserving shelter cats and dogs.

Help needed for rescue chihuahuas

We
recently rescued several chihuahuas from a hoarder and they all need
extensive vet care before being placed in loving homes. One poor girl
needs her knees fixed in order to even straighten her little legs out.
She walks in a crouched down position and tries so hard to run and play
but is constantly falling over. This surgery alone is going to be
upwards of $1500.00. They all need dentals, vaccinations and spayed.
Can you please find it in your heart to send as much as you can? Every
little bit helps and the chihuahuas will be very greatful!!

Cooter needs Surgery....Please Help

CLICK HERE to pledge your donation to help Cooter.

This pup has a real chance $600 has been raised so far...He still needs $1000

My
dog was hit by a car last weekend when I took my daughter to see her
grandmother, only gone for about 4 hours. A wonderful woman stopped on
the side of the road and picked her up and took her to the Hwy 34
Animal Hospital. After a week of recooperating, we have found out that
her hip is out of socket ($1500) and her right knee needs to have
surgery ($600). Cooter has always been an outside dog. She is a cross
between an Irish Wolf Hound and a Lab, she is not a small dog. She was
raised around horses and cattle. This is how she was when I got her.
She usually stays in the yard, and I have never had a problem
before.This dog is such a wonderful dog. She is a frisbee dog, and love
to go duck hunting. The only reason she was hit by a car, is she was
walking the property - and someone veered and hit her. She was not in
the road, she was just on the edge of it. There are plenty of witnesses
that saw it happen. She is only about 3 years old, and still has alot
of life left in her. Please help..... I am a single parent of 2 kids, I
do have other dogs that are inside dogs - and Cooter is their buddy,
but she is use to staying outside. She keeps the coyotes away from our
house, and just the sweetest thing. She greets me at my car everyday
when I come home with her frisbee in her mouth. Please - any amount
will be helpful.


**Please be honest - if you saw a dog on the side of the road, wouldn't you swerve NOT to hit it? I would, and have.



You can verify with Dr. Snyder at 972-524-5552



UPDATE 2/11/08



Her spirits are up. She is not in any pain right now, he is keeping
her on pain medication - but she just can't get around. She is so use
to running and playing. - When I go to see her, she wags her tail, and
since she can't use her back legs yet, she tried to scoot out the cage
to go with me. She really wants to come home. Of course that is after
about 20 mins of me patting her belly. As soon as we come up with the
money for the surgery, we can get it done. Then she will be that much
closer to coming home.
