Save a Life Drive 2010!
I want to specifically raise funds for Jonah, a chihuahua puppy that needs medical care and surgery for intussusception. Intussusception occurs when one portion of the bowel slides into the next, much like the pieces of a telescope. When this occurs, it creates an obstruction in the bowel, with the walls of the intestines pressing against one another. This, in turn, leads to swelling, inflammation, and decreased blood flow to the intestines involved. Jonah's care will cost Austin Pets Alive at least $400 and I am pledging to raise half of the necessary funds for his surgery.
As the new Austin Pets Alive building is coming together, we are more and more capable of saving that many more pets from euthanasia. The Save a Life Drive gives us the ability to continue saving lives when adoptions and donations tend to decrease in the fall after school starts. As you can imagine, the numbers of animals needing to be saved does not correspondingly decrease this time of year so it is even more critical that we band together to give all those dogs and cats a happy ending.
