Lack Of Funds Threatens Our Operation!

We began our efforts in 2001 to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome animals in need. The rehabilitation of our rescued animals often includes expensive medical treatment. Many times we've taken in animals who we knew would require special medical care but we've also often we faced the unexpected medical issues that arise. In either case, we always provided the optimum level of care. When donated rescue funds weren't available, our founder always picked up the tab. As many face economic hardship, we are no exception. Our personal resources are depleted and like most other nonprofit organizations, we have seen a decline in donations. Not only is our ability to continue our rescue efforts in the future threatened, but we also must raise funds now to maintain the optimum level of care to the rescued animals already in our foster homes.

Additionally, we must raise funds to assist with outstanding medical expenses for some of the animals we've already helped. A list of a few of those we've recently helped is below.

Diamond, who has been with Jack's Angels longer than any other animal, swallowed a towel and required $1,200 emergency surgery and medical care. $2,500 had already been spent to board her when her adopters (at no fault of her own) suddenly returned her and we did not have a foster home available.

Aspen developed disc problems and other serious and unexpected medical issues while in our care that required expensive treatment.

Simian was diagnosed with Polycystic Kidney Disease. Initial diagnosis and special neuter surgery was $800.00.

Bailey was diagnosed with Fanconi Syndrome, caused by eating tainting chicken jerky made for dogs. Initial diagnosis and intensive care exceeded $1,000. Bailey will require ongoing care, including multiple daily medications and periodic bloodwork.

Reggie was diagnosed with a blood parasite that caused damage to her heart. She required further diagnostics and treatment through a specialist, well exceeding $1,000. She needs additional follow-up testing and a special spay surgery (due to her fragile heart).

Twister had been badly neglected. Initial medical testing and care, as well as later medical testing and care when he suddenly developed seizures, exceeded $2,000.

Jonas and his sister Kylie, who sadly did not survive, had parvo virus and required more than $2,000 in emergency medical care.

Tella was pregnant when rescued and delivered her puppies the very next day. Whelping complications resulted in $800 in emergency medical care.

Nicholson had a head injury when rescued and required $700.00 surgery.

Marcy had heartworms and a respiratory infection when rescued. More than $1,000 was spent trying to save her precious life.

Hyden was born tiny and weak. In his three months of life, we spent many $100's trying to get a diagnosis, hoping to save his precious life.

Please help us help them. If you can donate, even a little, it truly helps. We (and the animals) cannot thank you enough. You can make a donation by clicking the "donate" button below.
