Hi Everyone,

I am new to Care2 and made a bee-line for this group since animal welfare and animal rights are important to me. I live in the North Texas area and wanted to share with all of you information about an organization that helps shelters and individuals with limited incomes defray the costs of emergency medical care for animals that have been abused or abandoned.

A spotlight story on an individual animal that has been saved following efforts to save his or her life is featured monthly or bi-monthly. Stories are submitted by people across the country who have been involved in an animal rescue or other situation in which emergency treatment was the only way to save an animal's life.  

This month there is a particularly difficult story about a dog named Lady, who was rescured from a yard where she was chained to a tree without room to walk and with an embedded collar in her neck.

Although the images are difficult, the story has a happy ending. Lady is recovering and has a new and caring home. Unfortunately, in order for shelters like the one that rescued Lady to continue their good work, they need assistance for emergency cases like this. Part of the mission of Animals Abused & Abandonedis to focus on fundraising to help shelters with this specific type of care when needed.

I hope you will check out Animals Abused & Abandoned and share with people you know.

Thanks,
Jane
