These are the faces of the lost and abandoned in our area. Every day more and more animals are abandoned, lost or injured. We rely on help from you to provide the love and care they need.
Marcy was left at an emergency vet with a giant wound on her head. She appeared to be attacked by an animal with bite marks all over her body. Her wounds were cleaned out and she’s recovering in a foster home. Being left on the streets, sometimes means you have to fight for your life.
Broccoli was a stray dog hit by a car. A Good Samaritan found him and brought him to the ER. We couldn’t let this dog die or suffer because he didn’t have an owner, so we took care of him. He was transferred to Midwest where he had a screw put in his hip.
Muffin was yet another dog who was hit by a car. We seem to see more and more of this everyday. Muffin unfortunately lost her eye and suffered from head trauma. She is currently undergoing physical therapy to hopefully regain movement in her injured leg. She will receive so much love until she’s ready to find a home!
Lennox was abandoned in a forest preserve. Sadly, a story too common now a days. He was left with his cage and food, all alone to fend for himself. One of our volunteers saw a dog in distress and went and brought him to safety. He is going to be vetted and hopefully find a home very soon. He’s visibly scared and learning to trust humans again. He’s already shown to be such a sweetheart!
Kiera is a tiny little kitten who suffered a big injury! She came in with her leg very out of place. She had a fractured femur and her hip was out of place. Ultimately amputation was the best option for her and she is recovering on 3 legs!
Cotton Candy was left in a box outside our shelter when we were closed. She was incredibly sick and unfortunately passed away of Panleukopenia. She passed away receiving the best care and love we could give her. Unfortunately this also shut our cat intake down due to a room of exposed cats.
We have taken in an injured animal nearly every day this week. We are grateful to be able to save them, but we can’t without you. Please consider making a donation to help us continue to help them.
*Thank you to the amazing orthopedic surgeon Dr.Settle and staff at Midwest Animal Hospital, working hard to keep these dogs comfortable!
