S.A.D. Fund
Our S.A.D. Fund (Sick Animal Donation Fund) needs your support more than ever as we
continue to receive animals that require special veterinary care. As a no-kill shelter,
we have a responsibility to provide veterinary care for animals that, with reasonable treatment,
can have a good quality of life. This is a vital part of creating a community where no healthy or
treatable animal is euthanized. To donate to our S.A.D. Fund, you can contact us if you would like to contribute or make
an on-line donation. Below are stories of our residents who required special veterinary care.
Regina was found running in an open field in the middle of January 2009, one of the coldest, snowiest winters on record. She is a
full grown, female German Shepherd. She was very malnourished
and had almost no fur on any part of her body. A good person found her and brought her to our shelter. Even though
it was very apparent she hadn't eaten in a long time, she was still a very active dog and had a very playful nature. We took her to the vet
for an examination. Amazing and lucky for all of us, she was actually in good health and heartworm negative. Regina is currently at our shelter
on a prescribed medication and on puppy food to help her gain weight. We expect a full recovery and know she will make someone a wonderful
companion. We will post more pictures of her as she progresses.
