This is just ONE sad story. Without donations we can not Save him. We NEED YOUR HELP!
We are holding 2 fundraisers to help
Operation Save A Shelter Dog, Mycah and other dogs that desperately need funds and loving homes to save them.
Please check out our calendar fundraiser to help save these animals. Donations always welcomed.
From Julia Buie
I have to ask this question because in my mind and my heart this is not sitting well with me. Only 1 person has donated to help him and since it appears that there isn't any financial help for him, do I just make the decision to put him down without knowing the answer or if there is help for it? Today his foster mom called me and it appears he starts coughing with each step he takes :( Trying to get him set up with a vet that has an ultrasound machine is turning into a real struggle and it is even being suggested he go to the emergency room where they will take care of it all. I can't even imagine the price at an ER. So you see how I am stuck in a bad place right now? Any thoughts or ideas are welcome.
This is another sad but true story about another of our rescue dogs, and his name is Mycah. He came to us with Heartworms and he was treated. A couple of months ago his foster mom told me he started coughing, which he didn't have before with the heartworms. I told her to take him in for more x-rays, as he had them before his heartworm treatment, to see why he might be coughing so much. The vet herself called me to tell me his x-rays were horrible and so dark.
She told me she had fostered dogs with lung cancer before and this is what their x-rays looked like :(
Since they don't have an ultrasound machine there she recommended that he be seen by a specialist that does and could take a biopsy to confirm. In my heart he may have it but I don't want to wait and see if he just collapses and dies. I want to confirm and to see if there is a certain protocol or treatment he can have.
As you can see he is a very happy, playful boy that deserves a chance at something.
I do know that we need at the lowest end, $1500 and we honestly don't have that at this time and we just can't afford to wait until by some miracle that should come my way.
I know many people continue to donated to us for our medical needs dogs but as each day passes we find another problem in other dogs that we never expected.
I believe in them getting a fighting chance. Sometimes we win and sometimes we lose but at least they do not go on untreated.
His foster mom Susan Leshock Holsclaw has been waiting for me to give her the go ahead, and I did, with or without the funds. I will figure it out somehow. I just have to.
