When Letha Hundley saw Winnie, a pit bull up for adoption through the ART website, she knew she had to adopt her. Winnie had been abandoned and left at a shelter.
“I wanted an older dog because they are harder to adopt,” Letha said. “I had also just lost a pet, a lab, and I knew that Winnie and I could heal each other.”
Letha is no stranger to helping animals in need. In addition to Winnie, she also fosters a 12-year-old FIV positive cat and a 13-year-old Golden Retriever that was abused by a previous owner. She also volunteers with the Portsmouth Humane Society.
After Letha lost her job, though, she was unable to afford the routine medical care that her pets required. She was fighting to receive disability pay and could not afford booster shots for her cat, Love Bug. ART was able to help her get the shots her pet needed to stay healthy.
“ART’s help really meant a lot to me,” Letha said. “I could not afford the shots, but I also didn’t want my animals to be ill. They are my babies, my children, and ART was able to help me get them the medical care they needed.”
Because of ART, Love Bug received the booster shots he needed to stay happy and healthy!
