Mary's Story
 One
cold October evening, this seven pound shih-tzu was dumped out front of
an employee's house. She scratched at the door, somehow knowing it was
the right house to go to. Her jaw is broken, she is missing an eye, and
she has about four punctures around her neck from a dog bite. She has
almost no hair, and bad teeth.
That night,
she enjoyed playing with the dogs in the house, went to the bathroom
fine, and eats just fine, even with her jaw hanging loose. She was
brought into the shelter, cleaned up, shaved, and put on antibiotics.
We are
currently raising funds for her surgery. She needs a complete eye
removal as well as her jaw wired - along with a spay and dental.
We have
scheduled her for surgery, and are still raising funds! If you would
like to donate, there are several ways: Follow the link on our page to
"Donate Now", you may donate over the phone with visa or mastercard, or
send a check, ATTN: Mary's Fund.

The
good news: Mary went in for surgery this morning to repair her jaw and
fix her teeth. After being under for five hours, she is resting
comfortably and getting great care from our very own vet technician.
The bad news: Our original estimate of $1,500.00 has been surpassed
due to the extensive injuries to Mary's jaw. The bill from the Dental
surgeon came in just short of $5,000.00, and Mary still needs to get
healthy so we can repair her missing eye and have her spayed. The
outpouring of donations have been amazing, our thanks to everyone who
has generously donated to our shelter for Mary. Your contributions are
truly appreciated.
11/20/09 Update
We have just scheduled Mary for her spay and removal of her eye. We are uncertain of the expected cost for her other surgeries, so we are still asking for donations at this time.
