Success Stories

Happy and Playful, as Ever!
Sox was left to fend for herself at an apartment complex. After living on her own and having two litters of kittens, a kind soul took her in, had her spayed, and gave her the home and love she deserved. Unfortunately, after some time, Sox developed mammary tumors, which were seeping fluid and making her very uncomfortable. With a very limited income and only a part-time job, Sox’s owner desperately wanted to help her, but could not afford the treatment, so she contacted ART. ART was able to raise the $750 needed to remove the tumors. Now Sox is back to her happy, playful self again!

Myla had a blood clot that caused swelling in her ear and her eye to sag, resulting in tremendous pain. Her mama, a single mother of two recently separated from her husband, asked ART to help save her family’s cherished pet. The family had fallen on hard times financially and couldn’t bear to lose their dog. They were able to put $50 toward her care, but needed more assistance. Thankfully, ART raised the money the family needed to pay for Myla’s medical care. She is happy and healthy once again.​

Lola’s case was another dire situation where ART was able to provide life-changing assistance. Lola had a severe case of Pyometra (uterine infection). Her belly was bloated, she wasn’t eating and she was in terrible pain. Her owner, a disabled veteran, pleaded with ART to help save his “best friend.” He had already paid for Lola’s diagnostic care and could only put $50 toward the surgery. Thanks to ART, Lola was able to have the surgery she needed and is now healthy again. Lola can now continue to serve not just as a loving companion at home, but also as a therapy dog for her owner, who lives with PTSD.
