This financial commitment is vital to a successful, ongoing effort.
When an animal is rescued, immediate Veterinary care is so often required, and payment is due at the time of service. Many of our rescues are in extremely poor condition, needing medications and supplies to support their healing process. When the animal is healthy and age appropriate, we support spay/neuter, all to prepare our rescues for adoption. An ongoing supply of food is essential. In cases of neglect and abuse, we negotiate with the owners to surrender the animal(s) with something they need such as a bag of groceries.
Often, families in need refrain from bringing their animals to be spayed or neutered because of the cost. Amigos de Animales steps in to support this vital population control method. Being able to help with costs of other healthcare treatments such as injuries, parasites, infections, diseases, also supports a healthier overall community.
The dog to the right was a rescue in extremely bad shape, we scrambled all day to raise the money for the Vet, medications bill over $70.00, a bag of food, and to find a foster home. It was a successful effort, but this should never be such a tremendous and regularly occuring difficulty!
