Together We

Lacey’s story began when a concerned resident called our Animal Services team about a dog who had wandered into her yard. Lacey, a 3-year-old terrier mix, had a severely damaged back paw, and she had worsened the injury by chewing on it because of the pain. It was determined that Lacey’s leg required amputation if she was going to be saved. But first, we had to address Lacey’s severe anemia before any veterinarian would consider her for surgery. Our medical team began a regimen of regular bandage changes, antibiotics, pain medicine and supplements to get her healthy enough for surgery. Thanks to our incredible community of donors who rushed their financial support, we had the resources to provide the life-saving surgery Lacey needed and help several other animals in our care! To cap it all off, Lacey immediately found a loving new home when Maria, the concerned citizen who made the first call, decided to make Lacey a permanent member of her family!
