Right now, as many of us are enjoying the summer sun, countless animals are searching for relief from it. If you’ve ever seen a dog panting in the heat, you know how hard it is for them to handle high temperatures. And when a dog is compromised with the pains of neglect and trauma, the situation can become deadly very quickly. This was the case for Ava, who was found wandering the streets alone on a summer day.

We’re about to tell you Ava’s story, but first, I want to tell you about our summer match offer. Thanks to our friends at Evercare, your gift today can be matched, dollar-for-dollar, up to a total of $55,000.

Ava was found frightened, injured and struggling to survive. Deep lacerations marked her head and neck, and trauma to her face left her with painful fractures. On top of these critical injuries, Ava was battling a life-threatening case of parvovirus.

“When Ava arrived, she was only six weeks old — and she had already endured so much trauma,” remembers Dr. C., one of the veterinarians who cared for Ava. “She was very clearly in pain, especially when her face was touched. I can only imagine what it feels like to have multiple bones in your face broken.” 

Ava was suffering greatly. It hurts to think what her fate may have been, had she not received the urgent care and support from our staff — and you.

Email, we haven’t heard from you yet, but we know you care deeply for animals. Your support can help animals just like Ava get the urgent care and treatment they desperately need. A gift in any amount can help more animals in need RIGHT NOW, in the summer heat.

Thanks to our compassionate members, we were able to provide Ava with lifesaving care. But countless animals are out there right now, waiting for help to arrive. Please give today while your gift can go twice as far. Help us provide relief and rescue today for those who are suffering in the hot summer sun.
