Angels for Animals: Periodically, animals arrive at the rescue with extreme injury, trauma or immediate healthcare requirements. Without care, these animals would either die or be sentenced to a life of pain and suffering. These medical issues have included long-term illnesses like heartworm and diabetes, and immediate care issues resulting from car accidents, animal attacks and abuse, which have required surgery and limb amputations. As a no-time-limit shelter, we are dedicated to providing these animals with the medical and emotional care they need to return them to health and prepare them for adoption into a forever home. We established the Angels for Animals Program in 2006 to provide funding to cover such emergency medical expenses.
