Trina from Redlands Animal Shelter
Trina came into the shelter as a stray with a torn ACL. These surgeries can be highly expensive. We were able to partner with another local rescue and got her surgery for less than 4k. While we took care of her medical needs, the shelter found her a great adopter so she got to heal in her HOME!
Napoleon
Meet Napoleon; he came in as a stray to the Redlands Animal Shelter. It was quickly obvious to the staff that he was favoring his left hind leg. A quick x-ray discovered that he had a dislocated hip. Upon relocation, the bone would not stay in. This usually only happens when it’s been out for a long time.😢
Today, he had a femoral head ostectomy (FHO). If you are familiar with these, you’ll know they are very expensive.
Baron
We don’t know what his life was like before now; based on appearances, it wasn’t good.😥 This poor, sweet, soul has a long road to recovery, but is now seeing better days!
He was found by a Good Samaritan and frequent adopter at Redlands Animal Shelter, Casey Anthony. Shelter manager, Silvia Lemus, reached out to see if we could help with an amputation. Our hearts broke after seeing the images of what looked like a severely broken and starving pup.
The staff at Highland Village Pet Hospital has taken such good care of him and still treating him for starvation. Not only did one leg have to be amputated; but the other had a massive fracture that has since healed. 😭 And yet.....his soul shines through his eyes.....and out of his tail which wags constantly. He has been named Baron.
The estimate for the surgery is $3500. We know that times are tough and understand if we do not recoup any of that amount. However, we couldn’t say no! Please help us by donating towards his bill.
REDFOSA SUCCESS STORIES
Babee
UPDATE: Babe has been adopted!!!
Babee was brought into the Redlands Animal Shelter as a stray. With her sweet and friendly nature she immediately became a volunteer favorite. Sadly, it was discovered that she had a torn ligament on her left back leg . Redfosa was able to help her receive ACL surgery through generous community donations. Since her surgery she has been living in a foster home with a Redfosa/shelter volunteer, who has been taking her to obedience lessons and working with a trainer to help her overcome her shyness and fear of other dogs. She loves people, is a perfect companion dog who wants to be part of your world whether it’s taking a walk or watching TV. Babee was rescued by the local rescue CodeRedK9Crew, but she is still in need of a forever home and available to adopt. Meet and greets can be arranged.
