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 It didn’t help that the computers were down for months so Petfinder was out of date.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.

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 in return :)
