Our Help Me Heal Friends
Your donation helps cats and dogs like those below receive the special care they need!
Mario
|
Mario is a talkative love bug just shy of 11 years old. Unfortunately, Mario is facing some medical challenges. A painful bump was recently noticed on his tail, so he had a visit with the vet to determine what could be done. It was determined that the mass needs to be removed. Due to the placement of the mass, his tail may need to be amputated if the mass cannot be completely removed. Mario really wants to get fixed up and make his way to his forever home. He knows he still has plenty of friends to make and laps to warm.
We need support from our community to continue helping animals like Mario make it across the finish line. Please support us by sharing his post, donating, or offering to foster Mario. |
Tansy
|
Tansy arrived as a stray who had been hanging around by some dumpsters for a few days. She was shy and had evaded the good samaritan who was hoping to help her. Once she arrived at the shelter she started opening up and bringing out her hound dog spirit. Shortly after her arrival it was discovered that Tansy was heartworm positive and began treatment for her condition. Tansy has been residing in a foster home for her treatment.
Unfortunately heartworm can be fatal to dogs when left untreated. The good news is heartworm is not only treatable but also preventable! Dogs can receive heartworm preventatives from their vet. Unfortunately heartworm treatment is costly and time consuming. This is where our community can support us by donating or offering to foster a dog with heartworm. |
Bindi
|
Bindi was roaming as a stray and was transferred to Neenah Animal Shelter from a Northern Wisconsin rescue partner. Bindi was diagnosed with heartworm shortly after her arrival. Bindi is currently looking for a foster home to receive her heartworm treatment.

Kitty
|
We are once again asking our incredible community to come together for a very special animal who was lovingly entrusted to our care.
Kitty was brought to our attention by a local veterinarian who had been working closely with her family to get her the help she needed. When her medical needs grew beyond what her family could reasonably provide, they were faced with an unthinkable decision. Wanting only the very best outcome for her, they trusted us to step in and help. Thanks to that partnership, Kitty now has a chance. She underwent surgery to remove painful, crowded stones from her bladder. These stones have been causing significant discomfort and affecting her quality of life. This procedure will give her relief and the opportunity for a happy, comfortable future. We are working to raise funds to cover her surgery and ongoing medical care. Every donation, every share, and every word of support helps us keep our promise to animals like Kitty and the families who love them. |
Scrumps
|
Help Scrumps get to the eye doctor!
Scrumps is only a year old and found himself at a busy shelter in Milwaukee, WI. We saw his face and knew we had to help him. He was transferred into the care of our shelter in the beginning of January. As you can see he has an unusual issue with his lower eyelids. Three different veterinarians at our clinic agree that he needs to see a veterinary ophthalmologist. They are unsure if it is a mass, extra tissue, or another condition. While he does not appear to be in pain, a specialist visit is needed for proper diagnosis and care. It is important to get answers and ensure his long-term comfort. Your support helps us give him the care he deserves. Regardless, Scrumps will be seeing the ophthalmologist in April, we are hoping to raise some funds ahead of time to help cover his care, and this big love bug is so grateful for your support. |
Sage
|
Sage - a young black lab mix, came to us from a northern rescue partner and went into a loving foster home. A month later, she began developing lesions across her body and a swollen mass on her leg. She started limping, avoiding movement, and even soiling herself due to the pain in her back leg. Not something an 11-month-old puppy should go through. After multiple local vet visits over the course of several months and no improvement, she was hospitalized at UW-Madison and diagnosed with blastomycosis, a serious fungal infection. Her treatment will last 6–12 months, which includes daily oral medication, x-rays, blood work and urine tests every 3 months and bandage changes 3 times a week. |
Rowan
|
Rowan, a tiny kitten estimated to be under 3 months old was heard crying in a drainage pipe. Rowan's rescuer had to get creative to get him out of the pipe and rushed him to us. He was cold, wet, and underweight. There wasn't a moment to spare. He was whisked off to Blue Pearl for an intensive 3-day stay to stabilize him through supportive care - $2,325.64.
Rowan is doing much better and is currently available for adoption! |
Sirius
|
Sirius - a sweet, goofy German Shepherd who hasn’t met a person he didn’t love, came to us as a stray. When he began limping, we brought him to our local vet, his x-rays did not look good so he was brought to Edinger Surgical Options in Madison, 2 days after Sage went to UW – Madison. We discovered he needs FHO surgery to prevent lifelong pain and give him the chance to grow into the happy, active dog he deserves to be. His surgery is scheduled this Wednesday.
Update: Sirius is receiving daily physical therapy and regaining strength after his surgery. He recently had his 8-week post-surgery check-in and will soon be back to his regular, fetch-loving, tail-wagging self. |
