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

Chubbers was rescued after his owner passed away. He had a badly broken leg that was never treated and did not heal correctly. This resulted in the leg needing to be amputated for him to have a better and more comfortable life. He also had a cherry eye that needed to be addressed with surgery, and he tested positive for heartworm that needed to be treated. Once we’d addressed his medical needs, Chubbers was placed for adoption and has since found his loving forever home!

I’ve included some photos of the day he was first rescued (first photo), post-surgery (second photo) and then the happy ones are from his adopter!
