EDITED AT 9:20 PM We Raised $4010
normally I don't ask folks to donate specifically for an individual needy animal's vet bill. this is for two reasons, one I don't like exploiting sad/sick or injured animals for donations and two I believe we should be able to provide medical care thru with the help of unsolicited donations and our regularly held fundraisers.
but the main reason we are able to function this way is because our vets allow us to run accounts and pay our bills as the money trickles in.
however..occasionally an animal needs us and he or she comes in during a donation/fundraiser drought time like summer. and occasionally this animal needs medical care but at a different vet facility than we normally use. and occasionally the estimated cost at this time is a heavy burden to meet immediately, but the animal needs immediate care.
sooo...enter little broken dog, an unclaimed stray, found in a park with 2 broken legs. one is an old, untreated, badly healed fracture that require re-breaking and surgery so she can walk again. and the other fracture is new.
Abbotsford Animal Hospital is willing to help put this poor little dog back together with a more than generous discount..reducing her surgical costs from almost $7000 to $3500. it is anticipated that it will be a 7 hour surgery and both legs need to be fixed at the same time because one cannot currently support the other and she can't walk. there will be weeks of non weight bearing recovery while she heals and returns to being an unbroken dog.
if you or your friends and family are able to make a one time small donation to help cover the cost..many small donations will add up together for helping this sweet little broken girl.
Thanks Carol and Barabara. It's on it's way!
