Review for ARA Canine Rescue Inc. dba Alleys Rescued Angels, Hesperia, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

My rescued husky was dealing with massive swelling in his snout. This swelling was first thought to be an infection so we got our money together and had four teeth pulled in surgery. When this did nothing to help the swelling we went back to vet for more answers. Funds were tight and we knew we could not afford any more surgery for the pup but hoped antibiotics would maybe do something to help since the swelling was interfering with his eating and quality of life. While waiting outside of the vets office a woman walked by and asked about him and asked to be kept in the loop since she had not seen swelling that bad before. After talking to the vet we were told that it was an aggressive inoperable cancer that would continue to cause discomfort and force us to put him down within a couple of weeks. When we reached out to Alley and gave her the update she said that it was not good enough. She got on the phone with the owner of the vet, rescheduled an appointment and came in with us. Alley took over all of our vet bills (including pain management for months) and stuck with us every step of the way. After a discussion we all decided that we should try a "nothing to lose" surgery. This Woman saved my dogs life! Alley paid for two exploratory surgeries and all of the medications and biopsies. My husky is now has NO cancer and he can eat comfortably again (up 8 pounds within the first week or so). Even after all of this Alley has continued to pay for everything! My family donates as much as we can and as often as we can for this cause. If there is anyone who is deserving of help it is her and her rescue. These people have made a difference in our lives that is hard to put into words. Again, this was not one of Alley's rescues, this was a husky rescued from a shelter that Alley had not responsibility for. There was nothing in it for her to help but she decided that our pup deserved another chance. As a rescue that takes in hundreds of dogs and has to deal with their vet and food bills, to take on another dog that was never theirs it truly amazing.

image for those who wish to see how she has impacted our lives! (he looked even worse than the picture lets on, and he looks even better than it show as well!)
