Carme Burke's fund still needs $1310!
Good morning wonderful people!
So far, we've raised $2,227.50 for Carme's surgical fund. The estimate to get her whole is right at $3500. We've had to reschedule her surgery for a future date - not to worry, though, Dr. Beale will be back to do the surgery later in the month if we can raise the funds!!
Please help. With the economic conditions, we need all the help we can get. As you all know, we are getting requests left and right to take in dogs. Many people just cannot afford these little guys right now and a lot of breeders are downsizing (yay) and even getting out of the dog selling business because it isn't as profitable. Bigger yay.
We just can't do an expensive surgery like this until the funds are committed. I'm sure you all understand.
You all are wonderful! Never cease to amaze me with your generousity. But, please pass this message around. We definitely need more and more new people who love these little dogs. It's a more-than-full-time job just trying to keep them from dying.
Carme Burke - surgery fund update
Carme's story
Little Carme Burke was rescued from the Pasadena Animal Control with a broken leg. After our vet examined her, he found that her leg had healed in the broken position. So, we were left with two options - amputate the leg or get her down to Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists for an orthopedic specialist to fix it.
We took her for a consult with Dr. Brian Beale who is very certain that she can be fixed - his surgery estimate will total around $3,000 and we've already spent just at $500 for preliminary x-rays, vet visits, etc. HERE is the original post about her situation.
As of Tuesday morning, we have raised $2327, which is 2/3 of where we need to be. We can reschedule her surgery for later this month if we can raise the remaining $1300.
