Angel!

This adorable five year old girl has a torn ACL that needs corrective surgery. She shares her Fort Worth, Texas home with her Mom and Dad, and their 13 month old baby girl. Angel was the first child in this family and her parents can't bear to see her in such pain. She is unable to put weight on the leg, and it will not heal on it's own. The estimate for the operation is between $950 and $1,300. We helped make arrangements with the vet so that the bill can be paid in $200 monthly installments after a $500 initial payment. We will be teaming with the family to raise the funds needed for her recovery. They will be sending in items for auction including some sports memorabilia.

SND is asking you for your help with Angel's recovery! Her surgery is scheduled for the weekend of March 29th and we still need to come up with $100 for the initial payment. Every donation is helpful, no matter how small - five dollars is great if that's what you can donate. You can use the PayPal button below, or mail us a donation directly. As always, thanks so much for helping a Dobe! Please check back here as we will be posting updates as we get them.

April 29th, 2003 - Angel is recovering!
Angel is doing fine. Her mom, Kim, says, "She is healing very fast and is happier as each day goes by. She is wanting to be playful and she is not supposed to do that so it is hard. It is so obvious that the surgery is like night and day already in her attitude. You can see how she is feeling so much better! We are so grateful that your organization was there to help. I will forward a picture of her soon. By the way, it is looking like she is starting to loose a couple pounds with her new diet dog food. This is not a bad thing.. ha ha"

April 9th, 2003 - Angel has her surgery!
Here's the update from Angel's mom, Kim, "Well Angel had her surgery today and is doing fine. I will be taking her home tomorrow. I took this picture (above,right) this weekend before she went in & I thought it was a better picture than some I had sent. I will keep you posted on how things go."
