But we didn’t like that idea one bit! Our adoption center veterinarian identified Lyssa’s problem and consulted with Dr. Nancy Laste at our Angell Animal Medical Center. “Animals that have the proper cardiac surgery can be cured and go on to live very long and healthy lives,” she said. Untreated, Lyssa’s condition would have a very sad outcome.
So we used funds from our Pet Care Assistance program to get young Lyssa the surgery she needed. The operation, which lasted close to two hours, was made challenging by Lyssa’s small size (she weighs less than seven pounds), but Lyssa came through it well. Once she was fully recovered, she was put up for adoption, and met her perfect family. Look at her new picture -- she's got a wonderful new home now!
Pet Care Assistance helps abandoned animals who require veterinary care, and also defrays the cost of treating cruelly abused animals rescued by our Law Enforcement department.
And Pet Care Assistance offers financial aid to families whose animal companions need emergency, intermediate, and critical care. Last year 191 families received $219,456 in financial aid at the MSPCA's Angell Animal Medical Center.
Can you imagine looking into Lyssa's young eyes and saying "We can't help you"? I know you can't. That's why I'm asking for your help. Won't you please send your gift today and help us continue our healing work?
Please give generously. We want to give all animals every chance to heal. Thank you so much for opening your heart, once more, for the animals. Wouldn't you like to help other animals like Lyssa?
There's a way you can. You can contribute to Pet Care Assistance.
Please give generously
Sincerely,
Carter Luke
President, MSPCA-Angell
