Success Stories

Sheba is a happy girl with lots of energy! Unfortunately, while burning off some of that energy, she went running through the house, straight into a wall, breaking her leg! Sheba’s family took her to the vet, but the costly treatment was more than they could afford. Their income is limited because Sheba’s mama stays at home to care for her special needs son. Determined to get Sheba the care she needed, the family sold some of their belongings to raise money, but still fell short. That is when ART stepped in and raised $1000, making it possible for Sheba to get treatment to heal her leg.

Little Taco’s owner knew something was wrong with him. He was having a hard time eating and it was apparent that he just was not feeling well. A trip to the vet revealed that Taco had developed a very painful tooth abscess. On disability, with an income of only $730 a month, Taco’s owner did not have the money to pay for Taco’s treatment. Through donations, ART collected $355 for Taco. Not only was he able to receive much needed dental care; Taco was also neutered!

Poor Sally was suffering from back to back seizures. Sally’s mama had taken her to the vet for initial treatment, but in order to prevent future seizures, Sally needed bloodwork and more medication. Sally lives in a home with two young children who also have serious health issues; due to their needs, Sally’s mama, who has had Sally since she was a puppy, simply could not afford the expense of the additional testing and medication.  Heartbroken, she contacted ART for assistance. ART was able to raise $309 in donations for Sally’s care. Now that her seizures are under control, Sally is doing much better!
