Gone to The Dogs Rescue: Senior Pet Adoption Assistance Grant Report

How did this grant help your organization and the pets in your care?

Dolly's mammary tumor was removed and tested. She was also heartworm tested (result negative) and spayed. Costs incurred prior to grant application (and subsequently approved with grant) were rabies vaccine, blood work, fecal test and doxcycyline.

Dolly's medical expenses would have greatly diminished our veterinary fund for our current dog residents. The Petfinder Foundation grant enabled us to save Dolly and provide safe sanctuary for her while we find her a forever home.

In September 2018, Dolly was picked up by the County Municipal Animal Control as a stray. She did not have any identification, and was scared and thin. She was a middle-aged girl who still had spunk in her and wanted to share her love for life. Shortly after that, a lump appeared on her tummy, and her tenure in the County Shelter was questionable. With her zest for life, she needed to share her sunshine with others and we decided to save her.

Thanks to the Petfinder Foundation grant, she had all the preliminary test work done, the tumor was removed, and tests showed that it was benign! Dolly has not been adopted yet, but we are sharing her and will find her a new home! The photos show her after surgery. Meet Dolly here.
