Shelly needs donations and rescue — beautiful Keeshond mix

Shelly is a beautiful little Keeshond mix who came in dragging a rear leg. She appears to have no feeling in it, and is injuring the foot badly since she can’t feel it. The vet who comes in once a month or so and focuses on the special needs animals is going to be in tomorrow night. He will have a look at the leg, and likely recommend that it be removed. He is actually just there to do spay and neuter surgeries, so Ashtabula Animal Advocates needs to raise money if we want him to operate on little Shelly. We need to raise around $200 to cover his time, supplies, etc.

We also have a ton of other special medical needs right now…..a mama kitty also getting a leg removed tomorrow night, a Walker Coonhound whose leg is so badly broken that you can literally hear the bones grinding against one another….it’s bad. We’ve also gotten in a raft of hw+ dogs. So anything you can donate is *so* much appreciated. Even if it’s $5, $1, whatever. These animals need all the help they can get! They are fortunate to find themselves in a shelter that truly wants to help them, rather than just euthanizing any animal that has special needs, but unfortunately it is a very poor shelter. I know money is tight for everyone right now, but if you can spare even a few dollars it really would make a big difference.

Donations can be made via PayPal to ashtabulaanimaladvocates@gmail.com (gmail.com) or via this donation button:

We are also seeking rescue for Shelly, as well as our other special needs guys. Shelly is a very pretty little medium-sized girl. The pic doesn’t do her justice; she was too scared when it was taken to really show how pretty she is. Long hair, fluffy curled tail…just a lovely dog, and sweet as pie. She really deserves the opportunity to recover outside of the shelter environment.

Also, don’t forget that 100% of proceeds from my AnimalProtectvLeague shop and 20% of profits from my fashionsplatter shop go to help Ashtabula APL animals in need! So you can make a donation *and* get something cool :)

Brittany needs donations and a rescue!

Brittany is a beautiful little medium-haired black cat who came to the Ashtabula APL back in April, with one leg nearly flattened due to being hit by a car. Before anything major could be done for her, it was discovered that she was pregnant. She had her kittens at the shelter and has been a great mom to them, but now it’s time for the leg to come off. It’s been infected over and over, they’ve done all they can to treat her, and the only thing that will allow her to live a full life is amputation.

The vet who comes in once a month or so and does the special needs surgeries just let us know that he will be in this Friday night. We have a ton of special needs animals right now, and need to raise a lot of money, but for now we really want to focus on Brittany. The poor thing has been through so much. The vet estimates that the time, supplies, etc will cost about $200, so that is the minimum we need to raise by Friday night. Any extra raised will go towards helping some of the other special cases (the vet is there to spay and neuter….we need to raise money to have him spend the time on these special surgeries).

To donate, please PayPal to ashtabulaanimaladvocates@gmail.com (gmail.com) or via this donation button:

We would also love to find rescue for Britt and the kids. They are *beautiful* cats.

Hank needs your help!

Hank is an adorable little terrier mix at the Ashtabula County Animal Protective League who was shot in the leg. The bullet came out his little winky :( He’s healed up from his initial injuries, but has no feeling in the leg he was shot in. Because of this he drags that foot along the ground and it is becoming more and more severely infected. The leg needs to come off as soon as possible. There is a vet at the shelter Friday night who can do the surgery, but in order for the Health Care Director to be allowed to have the vet devote this kind of time to one animal, we need to raise some funds to pay for the vet. Based on the amount of time he estimates the surgery to take, we need to raise about $200.

I’m going to be honest here and say that Hank may not survive the surgery. Apparently the infection is pretty bad and sepsis is a real risk, as is his little body just not being able to handle the stress. But he will *definitely* not survive without the surgery, so it’s his only chance.

If you can donate to help Hank get his surgery, please PayPal your donation to ashtabulaanimaladvocates@gmail.com (gmail.com) or via this donation button:

Please check the APL blog if you are interested in updates on Hank. In the unlikely event that more than $200 is raised for Hank, I will put any extra money towards the next animal in greatest need. We do also have a Basset mix with a cherry eye that we are hoping to get fixed on the same day….I’m just waiting to hear how much that will cost. If you would prefer that your donation not go towards another animal, and instead be refunded if it’s not needed for Hank, please just let me know.

Check out Hank’s Petfinder listing.

And if you have a moment, please have a look at our other dogs and cats in need as well. The shelter is so horribly overcrowded right now…dogs are two to three in a cage with no air conditioning. It didn’t help that the computers were down for months so Petfinder was out of date. It’s gradually getting updated now….most dogs and some cats have pics, so please do look and see if there are any animals you can rescue, adopt, or just spread the word about.
