Please help -- Valerie deserves a chance!
Please help -- Valerie deserves a chance! This poor baby was left as a "stray" at South L.A. Shelter with shocking injuries -- two broken hind legs bent outwards with exposed desiccated bones. Among other things, she was underweight, and had severe ear mites with heavily encrusted Pinna Perichondritis. We're in desperate need of funds to help this precious 8-mo-old, 3Lb little girl who we rescued from EXTREME ORANGE ALERT -- she was to be put to sleep if we didn't get her immediately.

We rushed Valerie to the hospital, where she's been ever since. We've consulted with an 'Orthopedic Surgeon' who had this to say:
"Upon examining Valerie's case -- she seems very active and happy -- disabled, but functional. Valerie has two prominent bones where the skin has eroded around the bone. Advised to cut 2-3 inches of the infected area, and to clean the wounds. To rod the legs would be a disaster... less is more, as the surgery will already be high-risk."
Dr. Roberts:
"So far, Valerie's bill is at $1,168.60 -- with potentially more than $3,700.00 for her surgery and ongoing care. The plan is to remove the infected tissue on her right hind leg, and let her ambulate like she has been doing. Then amputate slightly below the left side knee, and see if she's able to get around without traumatizing the stump. There is a chance she might require further surgery later on if she exhibits having mobility issues with the stumps."
Our current Northwood Animal Hospital invoice - (which doesn't yet include the bills for Valerie, Woodly, and Mimi) - is $12,749.23 -- and Valerie alone will add more than $4,800.00 to that. After the severity of miserable hardships and injuries this poor soul has endured and survived, we are committed to doing everything in our power to give Valerie a new life of happiness, proper care, and so much love she won't know what to do with herself.
