Hazel
Hazel is loving 11-year-old pit bull mix in Stamford, CT, who needs $2,000 for surgery and chemotherapy to treat her cancer.
CT • Project Precious Rescue, Inc.
Hazel found herself at a local shelter at 11 years old after her owners decided they could no longer care for her. She was hours from being euthanized because of her medical issues (unknown at that time as the shelter only does minimal diagnostics) when PPR stepped in and saved her. Once she arrived at our primary care vet, she underwent testing of her masses along with chest x-rays and an abdominal ultrasound. The diagnosis was mast cell cancer - and it had invaded into one of Hazel's lymph nodes.
Bear
Bear is 5-month-old leonberger puppy in Connecticut, who needs $2,000 for intestinal surgery.
CT • Project Precious Rescue, Inc.
Bear came to us from Texas, and we were told by the veterinarian who was caring for him that he was a very healthy 5 month old puppy with no medical issues. Unfortunately, as soon as he arrived, we realized that this could not have been further from the truth. When Bear arrived, we realized via his medical records that he had lost almost 20 lbs in one month - another piece of information that was withheld from us. Bear was having constant vomiting and diarrhea, and we hospitalized him a few days after his initial arrival. Within 24 hours, we got the news that Bear had a life-threatening condition called intusussception, and he needed to go to emergency surgery if there was any hope of saving him. This was completely unexpected, as we were told that Bear was healthy -- and here we are a few days after his arrival looking at a $6,000 minimum bill for surgery and post-op ICU care.
Saphira
Saphira is 1-year-old pit bull mix in Connecticut, who needs $2,000 for an emergency C-section, as she had been in labor for two days.
CT • Project Precious Rescue, Inc.
Saphira came to us with an emergent need for c-section, as she had been in labor for two days and her owners were unable to afford care. Despite it being almost midnight, we immediately stepped in, and Saphira had her emergency surgery the very same night. One puppy was stillborn, and the other was born with both hard and soft cleft palate, as well as cleft lip on both sides. We named this puppy Raphael, and because he is unable to nurse from mom, has needed to be separated from her to be tube fed by a very experienced foster. Saphira is on antibiotics for a bacterial infection, and is still recovering from her emergency surgery.
