Update on Star - the rescued cocker



Star was found in the Dallas area. She is currently being treated for a cancerous growth on her leg, and she also has worms. She's estimated to be about 6-7 years old and is a real lap dog. We've created an account at the vet's office for her treatment.

And Thank You to the generous donor in the northwest who helped get her started!

We received this plea today from a shelter volunteer.

There is a male 5-6 week old black lab mixed pup at Dekalb. His belly is distended from worms and he has the start of KC, the pup also has a lump on one side above his ribs that feels like some type of soft tissue injury. The poor little thing is not really eating his food, just licking the gel off the canned food. He is being held in the intake bay and has not been exposed to the general population.
I am heartbroken that I could not take him today while getting pictures, I only pray that he makes it through the night. If anyone has room in their heart and home for this sweet baby, please contact the adoption/rescue coordinator immediately!

This pup desperately needs our help! The volunteer has offered to help sponsor this puppy to give him a second chance by matching the first $50 in donations, but we will still need to raise funds before we can commit to pulling a special needs pet.

Thank you to a very special donor for completing the funds needed to save this boy!!

Total Funds Needed: $200
Current Donations: $200
Still Needed: $0

Please help spread the word, cross-posting is one of the easiest ways to help out. All donations are greatly appreciated and tax deductible. Thank you to all of our supporters, we could not continue our work without all of you!
