Shelter rescue. She has a fracture in her hip and a pelvis injury that may have healed wrong. She also has something poking through a ligament. She has 2 knees that dislocate. The right one is dislocated most of the time and pops in and out. The left knee is not as bad but maybe because she holds up her left leg all the time. Brandy needs FHO surgery to start and may need knee surgery down the road. Femoral head osteoectomy (FHO) will allow her femur to float back into position with her hip and relieve a lot of pain from her femur rubbing against her pelvis. This is the best I can describe it at this point. It was an ear full! Her bill will exceed $700

She was found as a pup wandering at a local school.  The teacher who took her in passed away, his dogs were left behind. One of our fosters took Missy in.  She was used to running with her previous owner and got out of their fenced 2 1/2 acres under the gate last Thursday. She was attacked by either another dog or a coyote but was able to get away and was able to walk back home.  She was immediately rushed to the vet. They think she's an amazing dog. Missy's vet bill was over $1100.00 



Comet was found running in the rain with this soaking wet cast on. The cast was dirty and yucky and had probably been on 4-6 weeks longer than needed! The cast had to be removed and he had muscle atrophy for sometime after. His vet bill was higher than the norm do to his special needs.

2/05 Yuki, now named Luca, was rescued off the streets. She was found following cars up and down by the rail road tracks and she was bleeding. She had just had puppies which were not seen. She was rescued and we paid her entire vet bill which included spay and vaccines, fecal and skin tests. We will not collect an adoption fee for Luca because we made a deal with a San Diego group. They were kind enough to take her in and we ate the bill. It was worth it. Luca is one of the sweetest dogs we have ever met and we just didn't have a foster home available for her.

12/04 Faith, an Irish Wolfhound mix,  was rescued by a good Samaritan. She had collapsed on the side of the road when she just couldn't take it anymore. Her body was matted and broken. She was emaciated and had lost all hope. Upon learning of her story we immediately donated $300 toward her bill of $600. UAN also donated $150 to help the vet tech that saved her. Faith had a broken leg and has to take meds for a hyperthyroid condition. She is still available for adoption.
