Gertrude was picked up as a stray by a Good Samaritan in Richland County and taken to the local shelter. This little cutie is in rough condition with a skin infection, eye infection, open wounds, and dental issues- but she is not letting that hinder her wonderful personality! She arrived with an open sore or possible tumor and has since been seen by our veterinarian at Gateway Animal Clinic and is now being treated for antibiotics while we wait for lab results. Gertrude will be moved to a quiet foster home until a proper retirement home can be secured for her to move into.
Gertrude will be spayed and her teeth will be cleaned at the same time. She is one our Extra Mile fund recipients.
One The Mend
Sponsorship helps pay the often extreme cost to ‘fix’ a physically broken dog. We are lucky that we don’t see too many injuries but when an injured dog is welcomed into our program, there is a serious financial dedication on our end and we go in for the long haul, without hesitation.
$25: Average cost of two rounds of pain medications we paid for in 2014
$50: Average cost of one veterinary examination and first round of pain medications
$100: Average cost we paid for laceration repairs in 2014
$150: Average cots we paid for x-rays per injured dog in 2014
$250: Average amount paid in 2014 for a first treatment for an injured dog. Includes anesthetic and pain medications, fluids, injury repair and one night of hospitalization.
