Rescue Assistance

Here are pictures and stories of a few animals that were assisted by the LifeSaver Fund and alliance with our humane partners: FurKids Aiding and A-Petting
Trish Before Treatment		Trish is a wonderfully sweet and playful young girl. She came to Aiding and A-Petting with the worst case of mange we had ever seen. An 18-year-old boy had brought her home and kept her in the basement. When they noticed she started getting a skin infection, they did not take her to the vet as they did not want to spend the money. The neighbor intervened and contacted Aiding and A-Petting.
Trish After Treatment		Poor Trish spent weeks living at Dr. Innocent's Northside Animal Hospital. while undergoing treatment. Now she is in a foster home and having a great time! She is still taking medication to prevent a re-infection. But she will be done with that soon. Just look at her now!!!
		Bear, Rescued and helped by FurKids This handsome boy wandered up to a farm where he was received with open arms. When taken to the vet for an exam, it was revealed that he had heartworms. Furkids was called in to help Bear with treatment and spent $800 on his treatment and necessary boarding. Bear was healthy enough to participate in the Walk-Run on October 30, 2006 . And the Nason family fell in immediate love with him and adopted him a week later! Thanks to his participation in the Walk-Run, Bear found his forever home!
		Koko is a beautiful Tokinese cat that developed diabetes early in life. Her owner was not able to provide the daily care needed for a cat with this condition and elected to euthanize her. Fortunately, a plea was made to Furkids and we took her in. Koko needed expensive treatment and care to get her stabilized on her insulin. Today, she is stable, healthy and looking for a home that doesn’t mind her health condition. She is a special cat and deserves the very best of homes. Diabetes can be easily treated with daily monitoring and care.
		Little Zander was brought to Furkids with an obvious foot infection. Months of tests and antibiotics had not cured his foot. Zander’s activity had to be limited for several months and he received daily foot baths and antibiotics. He was referred to a specialist at UGA where he stayed for two weeks while they tried to diagnose his rare condition. We are pleased to report that the fine vets at UGA successfully diagnosed his fungal infection and treated him with a drug recently developed at UGA for a sick animal at the Georgia Aquarium. It worked and Zander is now on his way to being 100% healed! He will be able to keep his foot and enjoy a normal life!
		Ben is about 7 yrs old when he came to Aiding and A-Petting. That leaves a lot of years left to love. Wandering the streets without medical care or attention was hard for Ben. The pads on his feet were dried and cracked. He had painful ear and eye infections that have been treated so he feels a bit better! On top of all that he was born with a bad knee that requires surgery. Life has dealt Ben a few problems but he will overcome them all, thanks to good medical care and TLC. He enjoys being with people, kids, and other dogs. He loves to take walks. He can now that his knees are repaired..
		Jack Black (Zack) – this little kitten was found in a parking lot and something was obvious wrong with his legs. Furkids was called to help and we immediately received him and took him to our doctor. Upon examination, little Jack Black was found to have two broken legs. A caring surgeon offered to provide Jack Black the ability to walk again and discount his services so Furkids could afford the surgery. As a result, Jack Black is healing very well and will have a long healthy life in front of him.
		There are other lifesaving stories to be told. We are currently awaiting the pictures from the caretakers.
