My puppy Roscoe needed emergency surgery for his eye. LLL worked tirelessly to help us take care of this puppy. They called me the day of the surgery and after. Their generosity will not be forgotten. Please contribute to this amazing organization. They are fair, considerate, and we would not have been able to help Roscoe without them. Thanks so much, LLL!
I received info about a puppy that was being physically abused and neglected by its owners. I immediately starting perusing the owner about giving up the dog to me so I could give it a good home and the care it needed. Finally after much persuasion they gave up the puppy. I immediately discovered this puppy was in much worse shape then I thought and got it to the vet ASAP. The vet informed me the puppy ( I named her Raven) had a horrible case of fleas and was loaded with worms, but worst of all she had a hernia. The hernia was the size of a half dollar and Raven was in great danger of her intestants becoming instrangulated, potentially killing her. The vet recommended surgery ASAP. This information weighed on me so heavily knowing I could not afford an expensive surgery. So I started searching for help. Called my local SPCA, animal control officer, town office all in hope there was some sort of funds out there to help with a situation like mine. There wasn't any money available and I was turned away at every attempt I had made. I eventually took my search online nation wide. I came across Labrador Life Line. I received an email only hours after I filled out the application online. Cindy was the name of the volunteer that was covering my case. We starting exchanging emails about my situations and any questions she had for me. She send me all the forms I needed to get the process started. Ravens surgery was scheduled for the next morning so we didn't have any time to waste. The next morning I got to the vet and had them fax Cindy all the info she needed to present Ravens case to her board. She was with me every step of the way. Letting me know every move she made. She also showed great concern for Raven and even though my application hadn't been accepted yet made sure the vet proceded with the surgery determined to get me the help I needed. She worked on my case all day. After so much work and effort on her part, she got the board of LLC to accept my case. LLC covered 75% of the cost of the surgery. 75%!!! I owe in large part the life of my dog to this organization and Cindy. So greatful there are groups out there like LLC that truly care and are willing to help! So much love for this organization!
