Athena recently needed treatment for a painful abscess- an infected pocket under the skin. She required sedation so her veterinary team could drain and debride the wound, removing infected tissue and cleaning the area so it could heal properly. Donations to her Guardian Angel fund will help cover the cost of her treatment and medication.

Heartworm disease is treatable, but lifesaving care comes at a cost. Last year, our shelter treated 14 animals for heartworm, and with your support we hope to help just as many (or more!) this year. Individual treatments typically cost $200–$300 per pet, and donations to this fund go directly toward medical care for dogs like our current heartworm-positive resident, Ares.

During a recent visit to WAVE, veterinary students noticed something unusual: fluid in Benny’s abdomen. He requires a diagnostic ultrasound and fluid analysis to determine the cause and next steps for his care. These unexpected medical needs can add up quickly, but with your support, we can make sure Benny gets the care he needs!
