Las Vegas, NV

Tortola nickname Tortega is a desert tortoise. My son and I got him from an elderly friend from California. She is a happy and energetic 7 years old before her injury. My son built a screened cage for her which mimic a natural habitat and big enough for her to move around. Because of her small size, it’s not safe for her to roam around in the backyard. Oftentimes, we took her out of her house. Tortola’s both hands were severly injured. We assumed a rat was able to get into his cage and did the damage. We took her to the Creature Comforts Animal Hospital in Las Vegas under Dr. Renee Hussey for emergency treatnent. Dr. Hussey informed us about 3 options. First, to put her to sleep, amputate the hands or try antibiotics. We chose the last option for now. Today, we did her 2nd follow up. Tortola or Tortega is very special. We watched her grow from a very tiny tortoise the size of a tablespoon to the size of an adult palm. She loves eating dandellion, romaine lettuce and strawberries. My son is an only child and considered Tortola as her sibling. My son plays with her and put her on his bed. Give her a bath when the temperature is hot. Tortola loves being scratch on the belly. We took Tortola for her follow up today, Ap.17. The Vet told us her wounds are not totally healed yet and still need amputation on both hands. She might develop infection. I am a single mother and have fixed income. My son and I love Tortola and hoping she gets better

Tokyo is a 4 year old Mix-Breed in Robbinsdale, MN, who needs $1,500 for Foreign Body Removal Surgery.

ROBBINSDALE, MN

Tokyo came into our family in 2021, when she was introduced to my son as a rescue and they were instantly attached to each other. My son invited me over to meet her, and when I opened the door she came running to me, jumped on me and started licking my hand. When our eyes locked, I was in love. In 2023 my son was in transition and he asked me to care for her; she has been living with me for 1 year On April 16 she became very ill, vomiting over 10 times in a 24 hr period. Fear of her becoming dehydrated I took her into the vet for urgent care on Wednesday, where they did xrays and found a dried piece of corn cob lodged near her pancreas. One more day without emergency surgery and she would've died. She did receive surgery at Access Vet Care, but we need help with her surgery expenses. She is a quiet dog but full of energy, very obedient and well mannered. By the way she's a master manipulator, knowing how to use her eyes to get what she wants. That's what's so loveable about her! She is very smart to find other ways to communicate, and that's what makes her special to us. I cannot imagine our lives without her!! I'm currently in transition of employment andthis was an unexpected expense. We are trying to raise funds to pay for her surgery so she came come home to us again. She is a joy to us and is a companion to my 14 year old son who is healing from severe anxiety.
