Molly
Molly was rescued as a pup from a local shelter and is a beloved family member with a human mom and four kids. When she ate some drip system tubing and a string, the severe intestinal blockage left her near death. Due to lack of funds for the expensive surgery, she was turned away from the first vet, to die in pain. That is when UAF and Mile High Vet stepped in to help. With emergency surgery, over 3 feet of intestines needed to be removed, and her spleen repaired following its rupture. Thankfully, Molly is back with her family and on the road to recovery. The bill is substantial even with the kind discounts of the vet. Please donate to her medical costs, and as always, our pay-it-forward program will replenish the fund so that UAF can provide for another happy ending for the next critter who needs our help.

Isis
My sweet Isis is going to Wharton Texas to live out her life at Smiling Dog Farms. I have found it is too physically demanding to care for so many dogs and have had to find alternative placements for several including Isis.

I have raised part of the money for her play yard ($867) but still need help with monthly maintenance costs. If you can find it in their hearts or budgets to subscribe to even $10 a month ($80 total), it will insure that Isis gets the food, love and medical care she deserves after her very tough life.

For more information you can go to www.smilingdogfarms.org/donations or just read up on this great organization on their web site. You can use the pay pal button or you can also mail a check to SmilingDog Farms 6915 S State Hwy 60, Wharton, Tx, 77488. All gifts are fully tax deductible since the Farm is a 501c3 non-profit.

Be sure and note that the gift is for the Isis Cottage and Maintenance fund. Thank you so much for listening and whether you can donate or not, I appreciate your time.

Mae
Valley of the Dogs Rescue took in this mom and her puppies. The mom had been bitten either by a coyote or another dog probably defending her pups.

The puppies are in a foster home that specializes in puppies and mom is at the vet. Her surgery went well to clean out her wound. She will stay there for a couple of days to ensure the infection is kept under control then move to a foster home. We have an initial estimate of about $500 and we expect another $100 to $150 for follow up work.

There are a couple of ways to help the mom and help Valley Dogs Rescue. All donations are tax deductable as we are a 501c3 nonprofit organization.

1) Call AMSC (www.animalmedicalandsurgical.com) at 480-502-4400 and you can make a payment over the phone on behalf of Valley Dogs and Mae (the moms' new name).

2) You can donate online through the non-profit center Guide Star: http://www.guidestar.org/partners/networkforgood/donate.jsp?ein=26-0896950

3) You can mail a check for Mae (note this on the check "Donation for Mae") to
Valley Dogs at:
P.O. BOX 364

Bear
It’s not everyday the UAF is able to save an animal who is in an absolute medical crisis and yet acts as though the world is in perfect working order. And that’s exactly the scenario we find ourselves in with Bear. At three years-old, those who first met the lab-shepherd mix at YHS described him as a “quiet soul,” a dog with an incredible “calming effect.” Sure enough, there is something about this dog that seems to radiate peace and hope – despite the awful condition he’s found himself in. Both Bear’s back knees have cruciate ligament damage.

What is perhaps most sad of all is that Bear knows YHS all too well; in the past year he would find himself and another canine cohort caught by animal control and held at YHS until his owner would bail him out. Eventually, Bear’s owner decided that the sweet dog wasn’t worth the bailout money, and he surrendered him to YHS permanently. There, Bear was moved to the e-list because of his leg injuries – until UAF heard his story and pulled him out of the shelter.

Now, he’s a UAF dog; he’s been given what every dog and cat so desperately deserves – the simple chance to heal. We want nothing more than to see Bear running through the hills, walking with a loving new family, and getting a little piece of the world he’s always been so good back, but we need help.

Bear’s medical bills will cost roughly $2500 to repair his injuries. We’re calling on all the animal lovers in this community to help us heal this special dog. If you can help, please let us know.
