Let's raise $ for homeless & abandoned senior dogs & cats in our community!
Fundraising for Second Chance Pet Adoptions Inc
Story
This year Muttley Crew is walking to support the homeless and abandoned senior dogs and cats in our community. In 2020 alone, Second Chance brought 37 senior dogs and 17 senior cats into our local adoption programs. Most of these animals require some sort of additional medical and/or dental care and cost Second Chance hundreds of dollars more in care than our non-senior animals. For some, they come to us after many years of a stable and loving home but for some reason unrelated to them their world is turned upside down. Our seniors often take some time to get comfortable in our care and we are happy to provide the patience and support that each of them needs.
Here's just one story about the type of animal your support of our team, Muttley Crew, will go towards.
In March of 2019, Jaeger was found by a good Samaritan living with a pack of dogs under a seemingly abandoned trailer. There was no food or water to be found. The passerby assumed the dogs to be homeless but left a note on the door of the trailer nonetheless. The owner of the trailer soon called and asked how much she would pay to take the dogs away. The passerby, short on funds but desperate to help, offered $40 for all 4 dogs. Ten measly dollars were deemed by Jaeger's guardian--the one meant to keep and protect him always--to be a fair trade for his life.
When brought into the veterinarian's office where the good Samaritan worked, Jaeger was found to have heartworms, loose teeth, a belly full of parasites, arthritis, Lyme disease and a body full of BBs from having been shot. When asked to help, Second Chance Pet Adoptions committed to treating and restoring Jaeger to his full mental and physical health. He has since been treated, healed--and adopted by Nicole and Greg!
Since his adoption, Jaeger, now Max, has been living his best life with his humans. His forever mom says, "We are so lucky that Max was rescued and his health was restored thanks to Second Chance Pet Adoptions. We were so lucky to find Max, who has been a big support during quarantine. He is my favorite coworker: he accompanies me to my job and works hard at napping under my desk. He also walked me down the aisle and laid by my side when we decided to elope on our apartment rooftop during the COVID-19 pandemic. We could not ask for a more cuddly, caring, sweet guy to share our home and lives with. Thank you for bringing him into our lives; he is just the best!"
Please support of Muttley Crew and help more senior dogs (and cats) like Jaeger. Please share if you know others who love animals!
