We received a $1000 grant and used it for medical emergencies over and above our normal spay and neuter charges from our veterinarians.

We want to thank PetFinder for this much needed $1000. As you can see below, it was put to good use.

Sam was 2-1/2 year old Border Collie/Spaniel mix and was surrendered to us in May of 2014. Being a Spaniel, they are prone to ear infections and Sam had a very serious one. He was taken to the veterinarian and examined and put on antibiotic ear drops, prednisone, and Fluconazole and was seen at the vet each week lavage treatments..total time was from May 28 through June 27, 2014 and the cost was $630.17. He is now in a loving and wonderful home and his ear infection is gone.

Biscuit was a kitten who came down with a URI which we treated at the shelter, however, she wasn’t improving so she was seen at the veterinary hospital. They administered an antibiotic injection and sent her home with Amoxicilin drops. She steadily improved. She is very happy and healthy with her new family…cost $101.78
