Pledge $$ for Angel Baby’s Pelvis Surgery!

Pledge $$ for Angel Baby’s Pelvis Surgery!

OKAY … here’s the story: Our dear friend, Lynn, was at a training seminar in Dallas last week. The pet sitter, who was caring for Angel, accidentally let her get out during all the HOOP-LAA after the Laker’s won on Thursday evening. I think we’ve all had experience with what happens when dogs get frightened by fireworks … they run until they drop …or worse!

Lynn (who wasn’t aware of the “runaway”) returned home Friday afternoon and immediately had 100’s of posters made and started canvassing the surrounding neighborhoods. Angel was brought to the shelter in Orange County Saturday morning after being hit by a car. THANKFULLY, she was identified by her Microchip and Lynn was able to get her immediate medical attention.

Bottom Line: The surgery (@ “VCA ALL-CARE”) to repair the leg ligament and pelvis correction had been quoted at $5-8 THOUSAND DOLLARS! Lynn was able to borrow $2000 to get Angel stabilized. She then transferred her [Monday] to Huntington Pet Vet. Dr. Allison Naito, (Angel’s regular vet), thinks she can put “Angel back together again” for something LESS than the originally quoted amount but hasn’t given any hard number yet. Lynn has exhausted her credit limit and was trying to sell her furniture to raise the money for Angel! My heart just breaks for her! WE ARE our “brothers’ keepers” and I am pledging to send $100 to Dr. Naito on Angel’s behalf. I am asking all my Facebook Friends to search your hearts and if you feel lead to help, make a pledge to Dr. Naito for Angel’s surgery. (One trip thru Starbucks’ Drive –Thru is $8 … pledge your Monday coffee run!) ANY amount will help!

UPDATE: I just learned that Angel’s pelvis is broken in FOUR places AGH!! And will have to be stabilized with a plate. It may take TWO surgeries to repair.

Here’s the Vet Info:
