Last chance to double your impact!
Blue, a 2-year-old Basset Hound, came to us after his owners made the heartbreaking decision to surrender him. Despite their love, they couldn’t afford the care he desperately needed to ease his pain. Blue arrived at Valley Animal Center suffering from double ear infections, severe skin allergies, and hypothyroidism—conditions that left him uncomfortable and confused but are treatable with proper care.

Blue is a gentle, loving soul who doesn’t understand why his life has been so hard. With your support, we can give him the chance to heal, feel love, and find his forever home.

Donate today, and your gift will be doubled through our matching challenge—ending this weekend. Together, we can transform Blue’s life.
