YOUR DONATIONS AT WORK!

Meet Peach Fuzz, a 10-year-old domestic shorthair who came to us in January almost completely bald due to overgrooming, allergies and stress. Over the past few months we have worked with the vet to find the right combination of medications and diet - look how beautiful she is now!


Because of donors like you were are able to go above and beyond to give animals like Peach Fuzz the treatment and care she needed.


She is currently in a foster home, and looking for her forever family!
