Critical Care Fund

Every so often one of the dogs we see in a shelter has serious medical needs — often requiring surgery and/or complicated care.  We never want to have to make a decision about whether a particular dog will live or die because it has been hurt or injured in the past.  Your contribution makes sure we never will.

Critical Care Fund Beneficiaries:


D-PUPs:

The D puppies came up to DC and despite being healthy in quarantine in SC, they fell ill with pneumonia. Three of the five pups were hospitalized.



TRIXIE:

Trixie needs a new hip! This young girl has been in pain and has a little limp. She is way too young for this to slow her down. She is scheduled to undergo what is called an FHO surgery to reconstruct her joint. There is a great prognosis for this surgery and it is essential for her to live a happy, active and painfree life! This surgery will cost about 4K and that’s before the Physical Therapy and followups. Please help Trixie afford this necessary surgery!


ADEN:

Today Aden was rushed to Southpaws Veterinary Specialists with difficulty breathing. After extracting more than 2 liters of air from his chest (air that was leaking out of his lungs), the vets determined he needed emergency surgery. After a little over an hour, the surgery was complete and Aden one lobe of Aden’s left lung was removed. Aden came through the surgery with flying colors and is now resting comfortably. The prognosis at this point is very good.

Lucky Dog now needs to fundraise the $7,000 Aden’s emergency surgery costs! Please consider donating!


ANAHOLA:

Without the support of generous friends like you, Anahola’s car accident would have been a death sentence.  Instead, we were able to rush this sweet, 3 year old Pomerarian onto our last transport South Carolina to DC, and she was in surgery 2 days later.  Now, Lucky Dog is trying to rise money to cover the $5,000 spent to repair the 6 fractures in her leg!
