Kimberly, a South LA dog owner, had received help from us previously for some of her other dogs in the past. Because she qualified for the Amanda Foundation’s free spay/neuter program, all of her dogs were sterilized. When she rescued Travis, a 10 week old pit bull puppy, who had been injured, she called us again for help. He needed surgery to close up the wounds on his legs but could not afford the necessary care. We called the Amanda Foundation for help.
The Amanda Foundation generously helps other charities, like Downtown Dog Rescue through their full service hospital. Our cost for this surgery was a fraction of what it would have cost at any other animal hospital. When you donate money to Downtown Dog Rescue to fund programs like Operation Safety Net, your donation dollars go farther and the money that we do pay goes towards helping other rescued pets. I am happy to report that Travis made a full recovery from his surgery. He goes back this week for a re-check. While he was under, he was also neutered so that Kimberly will be in compliance with the City of Los Angeles’ mandatory spay/neuter ordinance.
Please consider donating today to help a low income dog owner keep their dog out of a shelter and in their home for the life of their dog.
