Hi everyone,
As some of you know, I'm working as a vet assistant. A few days ago one of my regular patients who everyone in the hospital has grown to love very much came in with two fractured legs after being hit by a car. Her owner can't afford the surgery and is surrendering her to a rescue if we as a hospital can raise $3,000 in one week for her surgery. All I ask is that if you have a place in your heart for pets, that you share this link with anyone who would like to make a donation or may know someone who would to help Steve! We are trying to get a car wash/pet wash going for her on Friday and I have called and emailed over 100 rescues today to see if they could help at all!
Thank you!!!!

So sad! Definitely thinking of you all. My dog went through chemo for meningitis when she was two years old and without my parents help I would never have been able to pay off the bills! I just chipped in $25. Let us know what happens!

Awwwww

We just got an english bulldog puppy and he had an upper respiratory infection that turned into pneumonia. Vet bills up the YANG hole.

I'll pitch in too.....

Thank you so so so so so much everyone! I am crying, I am so happy that so many people are willing to help our sweet baby! You are all so generous! Thank you for chipping in and reposting this for me. Steve and I appreciate it GREATLY! Also, good news, we found someone to foster her and take care of all her after surgery medical bills with rehabilitation!!!! She is doing very well. Today I was at work and I thought to myself, I won't latch her kennel since it's on the floor and she's not going anywhere. Well lo and behold I walked in 3 minutes later and she was laying on the floor 10 feet from her kennel. She has such a strong will to live, it's amazing. I have actually raised $665 of the $3000 we need in 24 hours so far. We have until Monday before her legs start to re-set themselves. We're also trying to find a doctor to do the surgery for a little cheaper. We are doing every single thing we can to try and help her! She is such a good dog! This is her when we wrapped her legs the first time!

Just wanted to give you all a GREAT update on Steve! We've found someone to do the surgery for $1600 instead of $3000 and we're half way there!
I bought her a piggy toy yesterday and we got her to pee and poop before I left work last night, her poor little bladder was full. She was full of kisses and I gave her a milkbone from everyone. She got plenty of lovins yesterday. I'm going to try to go in today to get some good photos of her with my camera so I can give them out to local businesses to take up donations from anyone and everyone they can. We have until Monday before her legs start to re-set themselves.

Have you tried calling local radio stations to get the word out?
