Sully was one of the pets this grant was able to help. Her before and after picture are posted here. She is up for adoption now and flew from Puerto Rico this past weekend. Sully was found right after this grant was awarded. She broke into a home (according to locals) when Hurricane Maria wrecked havoc on Arroyo Puerto Rico. Her babies did not make it through the storm, according to the locals. We rescued her when we were driving through the streets and found her as she laid, hot, exhausted, starving and mostly without hair. She was diagnosed with heartworm and mange, so she needed extensive treatment at a cost of $1,200, including boarding. She may look a little intimidating, but she is the sweetest girl. After heartworm treatment, she went over to Moca, which is the other side of the island. Logistics to ship food there was a challenge that cost $450 per week and continues. Moca is still without water or power. Meet Sully: www.petfinder.com/petdetail/40022827
