We often have dogs that have expensive medical conditions or circumstances that require them to receive extra care and attention. We try our hardest to provide our dogs with whatever it is they need, although sometimes it can become very costly. For example, the cost of treating a heartworm positive dog can range anywhere from $150 - $300 per dog.

The following are dogs that need sponsorship and/or they are "special needs" dogs:

Boggs is one of our newer dogs that tested positive for heartworm. Unfortunately it is way too common for us to see heartworm in dogs that we pull from animal control. This is an easily preventable disease but is deadly if the dog contracts it and is left untreated. Fortunately due to our medical fund we are able to treat these dogs and find them new forever homes. If you would like to contribute to Bogg's treatment or other heartworm positive dogs, please contact us.

Eddie is a sweet puppy that was pulled from Montcolm Animal Control with his brother. He was very underweight and we noticed he seemed to be in pain when he was walking.... This brave guy actually was found to have his leg previously broken in 3 places. He is now in a cast and recovering but will also need surgery to correct the damage in his leg. Please contact us if you would like to help with Eddie's medical costs.

Maggie's luck changed when she was pulled from animal control but unfortunately she still has a few more hurdles to cross before she can find her new forever home. Maggie was a victim of overbreeding. She was used over and over again to breed puppies for her greedy owner and when her owners were done making money on her they dumped her at a local animal control facility. In addition she tested positive for heartworm and most recently we found out that she has ligament tears in both of her knees. Maggie's heartworm treatment and leg surgery will cost from $1700 -$3200 depending on the type of leg surgery we get for her. The surgery can be done two different ways. The more expensive version is called a tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) and is usually recommended for younger dogs, which Maggie qualifies for. The less evpensive version is called a modified retinacular imbrication technique (MRIT). This version does not stop the progression of arthritis, but it does stabalize the knee. We are very determined to get this girl back to health and into a happy forever home. If you can contribute to Maggie's medical expenses it would be greatly appreciated. Please contact us if you can help.
