CLOSED FOR INTAKE ATLEAST UNTIL MAY DUE TO FUNDS
Current "issues" that we have:
-The van I drive primary for rescue efforts just needed some repairs and now needs brakes & rotors (just ordered) this van is used constantly for vet runs/placing traps/baiting traps/missing pets etc. When things settle i would love to invest in a passenger type van just for rescue runs only so the rescue can maintain the vehicle and I can keep the current vehicle just for personal use. Its alot of wear and tear at times-COMPLETED AND PAID FOR
-We have 13 needing spay/neuter surgeries!
-Rango has mass removal surgery on 2/25 to remove a quarter sized suspicious mass. I will post his invoice after his surgery. From our last mass removal I'm thinking we are looking at around $450 or so. He also may need seizure meds-COMPLETED BUT NOT PAID FOR
-Maisie our newer intake (Bloodhound) needs to be monitored for possible cancer. We are going to take her in soon for bloodwork to have a baseline then another blood panel about a month after to monitor. If she does have cancer we will be doing a diet change and adding a supplement. The suspicious mass was already removed.
**A generous donor, Phil, has covered Marco's surgery*** HUGE THANK YOU
-Marco needs FHO surgery on one hip. We are currently fundraising for this surgery. Our current bill is $4,200 and we have to put down a payment to schedule this surgery. Current fundraiser with more details

-Polo needs FHO surgery on BOTH hips. We have to schedule one at a time to give him time to recover and heal. He would benefit from a local hampton roads medical foster to help him heal and recover
-Dax needs a blood panel and maybe chest x ray. I have noticed some coughing and changes with increased hunger/water intake and urination. Want to make sure we arent dealing with Cushings or something else before he goes on adoption trial with a local adopter-NOW COMPLETED BUT NOT PAID FOR
