Tripods Helping All Kinds of Pods

So after the amazing shout out on Daily Candy I collected loads of donations and got an email from a rescue agency down in Texas. Karen and Allan of AKC Animal Shelter in Quinlan have been collecting unfortunate pups for some time now, putting all medical costs on their own credit cards. When they emailed me they had two cases who had just put a big dent on their finances and a third waiting resources in order to get a costly eye procedure.

Bullet is a homeless dog who when found by AKC was thought to have been hit by a car.

When he was x-rayed at the vet they found that he had actually been shot in his right rear leg! His leg was completely shattered, leaving no option but to amputate.  The cost for the amputation was $555, which the I Heart Tripod fund just sent out a check to cover.

Bullet's doing really great now. He's sharing his run with his spayed girlfriend, Lady.

Next up if Buffy who was attacked by two pit bulls. When her owners could not afford to take her to the vet AKC agreed to take her in. The beautiful husky was hospitalized for nine days, during which her severe bite wounds were treated. The final cost for all this was $632, which the I Heart Tripod fund covered.

And finally little Cloie, a full blooded Cocker Spaniel who was left in her cage on the side of the road. She has a prolapsed gland, basically her third eyelid has popped out of her eye and she needs surgery to have it removed. She may also need to get a tear duct replacement. When AKC contacted I Heart Tripods they didn't have the money to take her to a specialist in Dallas, so the fund sent a check for $1000. She's going in for surgery on Wednesday. Fingers crossed!

It's thanks to people like you, who have bought t-shirts and totes, that we were able to help these three dogs. Thank you so much for you support!
