Safe Haven Rescue Kennel: Emergency Medical Grant Report

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

Grant funds were used to cover a portion of the medical care to a "free to good home" Craigslist-rescued Chihuahua we named Cinco in honor of his rescue on Cinco de Mayo.

When he arrived, poor Cinco he could hardly open his mouth or eat due to his lack of dental care. Thanks to the generous opportunity with the Emergency Medical Grant, he received a full dental (13 teeth extracted) and was neutered.

How many pets did this grant help?

The Petfinder Foundation's promise of lifesaving veterinary care to help a dog become adoptable came true! Cinco is no longer in pain and was quickly adopted (he's now named Dante) and doing very well! Thank you, Petfinder Foundation!

Please provide a story of one or more specific pets this grant helped.

Listed on Craigslist as “free to good home,” this little boy was rescued May 5th — Cinco De Mayo! Cinco could hardly open his mouth or eat when he arrived. After a full dental (13 teeth extracted) and neuter, he is now a happy, healthy, pain-free and ADOPTED dog named Dante! He is very grateful and honored to have received a $316 Emergency Medical Grant from the Petfinder Foundation!
