Princess
Princess and her brother found their forever home when a caring foster parent took them in permanently. Shortly thereafter, the pair were off to a routine vet appointment, which took a turn for the worse when it was discovered Princess had heart worms. Princess’s new mom had recently left her job to care for her terminally ill husband and was not able to afford the heart worm medication Princess desperately needed. After reaching out to ART and explaining her situation, ART was able to raise the funds for Princess’s heart worm medication and help this family in their time of need.
Maude
Maude was faced with debilitating dental pain when her owner came to ART for help. Being on a fixed income was holding her owner back from being able to help Maude. Through donations, Maude was able to get a cleaning and two extractions which put her on the fast track to eating like a normal kitty again.
Toby
Toby is living with diabetes and his normal medicine stopped working. After learning that Toby needs insulin to survive, his family of four reached out to ART for help when they realized they couldn’t afford the tests needed to get his new regiment started. ART was able to raise the funds for tests, fluids and hospitalization as well as the first round of insulin and help this family stay together. Donations from the community help animals like Toby!
