Mikka and Pups Medical Bill Help

Mikka is a gorgeous, dog, people and kid friendly, senior shepherd.   She was abandoned by her owner with a litter of newborns in a house with a caved in roof in Alabama. A neighbor contacted our local partner for help. They found Mikka with a horrible ear infection, mastitis, and hw positive, desperately trying to take care of her pups who suffered from upper respiratory infections. 

We knew this was a huge medical bill coming to our rescue, but we couldn't say no when our partner begged for our help. They had nowhere for them to go - and entering a local shelter would be certain death for a heartworm positive senior with sick pups. We had to said YES. Amazing volunteers drove the pups and mom to meet our volunteer driver all the way from Alabama so we can get them here. 

Four of the babies had severe pneumonia and had to be hospitalized and kept on oxygen for days. Our medical bill attached reached $5,500 and one pup is still not out of the woods, but we couldn't let them die. The owner who moved out and left Mikka and her family behind might have given up on them, but they are too sweet and too wonderful for us to abandon them too.
