Charles

2015-06-20T23:44:27-04:00

Corn cobs and dogs do not mix! In the ART community medical assistance program, we have seen this several times recently. In our last case, Charles pulled a corn cob out of the trash and ate it. The cob became stuck and caused an obstruction requiring surgery to save his life. This photo shows what the vet removed from his little stomach. Make certain to keep corn cobs out of reach of your beloved fur babies. We are so happy to help Charles. Thank you to all of our Sustaining Members for making this happen. Without their donations, Charles would have died. Please consider becoming a Sustaining Member. Even $10 per month makes a huge difference!

Foxy

2017-07-17T16:18:02-04:00

A caring gentleman adopted Foxy from a local animal shelter after she had been abandoned. After taking this neglected senior girl to a vet, he was told she had cancerous mammary tumors along with a list of other ailments, including poor eyesight and hearing, arthritis and allergies. Instead of taking her back to the shelter, her papa was determined to give her a good life despite his own financial hardships. He was able to put $100 toward her medical care, and ART raised the additional $750 to have her spayed and have the tumors removed. Thanks to our donors and sustaining members, Foxy now has the opportunity to live out the rest of her life as comfortable as possible. ​

Little Coco

2015-06-20T22:53:08-04:00

Little Coco is the beloved companion to a senior woman living on social security. They have been best friends for many years, but Coco had two cancerous mammary tumors threatening this beautiful relationship. ART was able to collect $433 to assist the woman and her son, who also contributed to Coco’s medical care. Coco was spayed and had surgery to remove the tumors. She is now recovering with her mama.

Penny

2015-06-20T22:38:40-04:00

Little Penny is another dog who was helped by ART. A few weeks ago, Penny’s rectum prolapsed. Unfortunately, her mama had very limited income from social security. She has already paid for one surgery that did not work due to complications. Penny belonged to this woman’s son, but she became her primary caregiver and had grown very attached to Penny. Through the help of our donors and sustaining members, ART was able to raise $535 to get sweet Penny the surgery needed to save her life.

Bella

2015-06-20T22:32:08-04:00

Through the help of our generous donors, Bella received the care she needed to overcome an unfortunate injury. Poor Bella was burned by a busted hot water heater. Her owner took her to the emergency vet, but could not afford the care needed to treat the burn. Bella needed reconstructive surgery. ART was able to help pay for the treatment thanks to our donors and sustaining members.

Molly

2015-04-28T23:06:31-04:00

Healthy, Happy, and Adored by Her New Mama!

When Molly’s owner entered a rehab/ recovery program, a friend was kind enough to provide a temporary foster home to the pup; but Molly’s original owner never returned for her. To make matters worse, sweet Molly developed a very painful and deadly uterine infection called Pyometra. Molly’s foster mama had fallen in love with her and had decided to keep her, but was not financially prepared for this type of medical emergency. She was able to contribute $100 and ART provided the additional $500 to cover the cost of surgery. Today, Molly is healthy and living happily with her new mama!

Marley

2017-07-17T16:18:02-04:00

Where there is a Will, There is a Way!

Poor Marley has had a tough life. Two years ago, a very caring woman rescued him from a neglectful situation and placed him in what she thought to be his forever home. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Marley was recently returned to her with several health issues. Not only did he have a large growth on his front paw; Marley’s teeth were in terrible condition and he had a very painful cyst on his gums which was making it difficult for him to eat. Despite the fact that this kind-hearted person is already supporting her adult son who was the victim of a shooting, she was desperate to help Marley, so she reached out to ART for assistance. ART accepted the call for help and was able to raise $554 to put towards Marley’s care!

Cassie was found with her sister abandoned in Chesapeake back in 2005. She was adopted from ART by a fabulous home and has been loved ever since. We thought we would share her recent photo. We are so happy for her!

Sampson

2015-04-14T16:58:08-04:00

Five month Sampson injured his spine while playing which caused swelling and prevented his brain from getting message to move back legs. The poor thing could not control his legs. His owners are very young and could not afford the cost of treatment. ART was able to help with the bills thanks to our amazing donors and Sustaining Members. Thank you!

Rufus

2015-04-14T16:54:26-04:00

We neutered Rufus through our low cost SpayHR clinic. His mama says: “I am thankful for you guys and the low cost clinic. Without your help I wouldn’t have been able to get my precious boy neutered. Thank you so much for being here!” Thank you to all who donate and to our Sustaining Members who make our clinics possible.
