Scrappy made our hearts melt. This poor little guy was suffering from pneumonia and to make matters worse, he had swallowed a needle. Even though he was likely facing some pretty expensive veterinary care, Southside took a chance and saved this little guy. He was adopted into a loving home last weekend! Scrappy is just one of many medically urgent animals Southside Animal Shelter has saved in the last few months. Here are a few others medically urgent animals we have recently rescued:
A kitten with a maggot infested wound (sorry!)
A shih tzu with a stone that filled most of her bladder
A pit bull with an untreated, infected bone requiring amputation
A tiny yorkie matted and covered in scabs
A dog with severe mange
A puppy with multiple seizures
This work has taken a toll on our medical budget! We are reaching out for your help. Our goal is to raise $20,000 to shore up our medical fund. We know this is ambitious, but so are our plans for savings lives this year. We have seen our supporters come through for us time and time again. Your gift of $50 will change lives and help us reach our goal.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
