The MSCPA does wonderful work...if this story opened your heart, can you open your wallet to give a little to help them save the next pup?

Oscar the pup, an adorable seven-week-old Pit Bull mix, brimming over with joyful affection for humans, was flung into a trash-filled dumpster in Jamaica Plain as if he were nothing but a useless, broken toy. His jaw was fractured, probably as a result of that cruel toss, but all he wanted to do when a kindhearted person pulled him out of what might have turned into his coffin, was cuddle and play.

OMG...who would not just want to hug this little guy and take him home?

Animals — they've got such good hearts, you know? And bad things happen to them all the time. So here at the MSPCA we've got a 24-7-365 job taking care of them. Fortunately for Oscar, his rescuer knew he could bring the puppy to us. And fortunately for us, you've got wonderful friends like you to support our work.

Oscar will be spending some time in the home of one of our staff members while his jaw heals up. There he'll learn how to play with kids and other animals, and be well on his way to a successful adoption. He's been neutered and vaccinated, and will get a microchip before he goes to his new home. Oscar's getting the full MSPCA treatment!

Thank goodness Oscar got rescued before it was too late. But there will always be animals out there who need our help. Please, can you open your heart once more to help animals like Oscar? I know we ask you frequently — but the need is so great!

Animals thrown away like garbage. Doesn't it hurt your heart? Please give as much as you can.
