Daisy, a corgie/shepherd mix, had a lot of medical issues when she was abandoned in Karen Kendall’s neighborhood. The Kendalls took her in and did their best to treat her numerous infections with antibiotics, but the expenses became too much for them. The family was losing their house and had to move. Their financial situation was becoming too much for them to handle alone.
“When I was at the vet’s office, Debra Griggs of ART was there, too, and heard about our problems,” said Karen. “Debra wrote us a letter offering to help with the medical costs, but we weren’t ready to accept help at that point. Finally it got to be too much for us to handle and we were able to turn to ART for help.”
In addition to Daisy, the family also had an outdoor cat named Prince Charming, or PC for short. He was also abandoned and had feline HIV. He was losing weight and was very sick. When he needed to be put to sleep, ART helped to pay for that expense.
“I want to thank ART so much for the help that they have given us,” Karen said. “It’s good to know that there are organizations like ART out there that can help people and their pets. Daisy is the sweetest dog and she loves her family.”
With ART’s help, Daisy has found a forever home with the family that took her in.
