Sick and injured animals continue to arrive at shelters in need of emergency care, but most shelters are overcrowded and underfunded. They need our help to save lives. 

With your support, we are conducting our 3rd Annual Paws in Peril Care-A-Thon. The week-long campaign will help severely neglected, injured, and sick animals get the emergency care they need to survive and thrive.

Bloodwork revealed he is suffering from multiple infections, severe anemia, and Transmissible Venereal Tumor – a contagious cancer that can be spread between dogs through physical contact.

He has a long road to recovery ahead that will involve weeks of antibiotics to treat tick-borne diseases, chemotherapy to fight his cancer, and constant care to regain his strength.
