This is a puppy picked up from Pocahontas Animal Control
PLEASR SHARE: Just yesterday, Lon was healthy. A beautiful, brave little 3-month-old black lab, only 15 pounds, rescued from the devastation of the Arkansas floods. He survived what so many didn’t. He had hope in his eyes. He had a future.
Today, everything changed.
This morning, Lon came down with bloody diarrhea and declined rapidly. One moment full of life… the next, fighting for it. He tested positive for parvo—a cruel and aggressive virus that attacks the intestines, causes severe vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration, and can take the lives of even the strongest puppies in just a matter of hours.
Right now, Lon is headed to the emergency vet. He’s weak. He’s scared. And he’s fighting for every breath.
The cost to keep him alive is almost $2,000 every night in the ICU.
And the truth is—we don’t know how we’ll do it.
With Arctic’s medical care now over $20,000…
With Bethany still recovering…
With Buster just out of the hospital…
With hundreds of other animals in our care…
We don’t know how.
But we will find a way.
Because through God, all things are possible.
Because together, we can.
Individually, we are tired, overwhelmed, heartbroken… but together, we are unstoppable.
That is what faith is—walking into the darkness and believing that somehow, somewhere, we’ll find the light. Because Lon needs us to believe he’s worth it. And he is.
We will find a way.
We always do.
Miracles happen here. Every day.
Because God is good. And because of you.
So please—skip the Starbucks. Donate $5, $10. It all adds up.
And it could be the very reason Lon wakes up tomorrow.
