My Nonprofit Reviews

This was my original letter to Pet Assistance, Inc.:

Shadow was a gift for my 55th birthday. I had recently lost my poodle of 18 years. Shadow was adopted on a Friday from DFW Humane Society. He was in a covered, outdoor portion of the shelter where it was cold and damp. By Sunday Shadow was gravely ill and I had to take him to the Animal Emergency Room. To this day, they aren't 100% sure but they believe Shadow had the Parvo virus. $3000 and many weeks later, Shadow was finally out of the woods. Dr. Brashear at Main Street Veterinary Hospital saved his life. Now he is back at the same hospital needing this surgery. Shadow is the most human creature I've ever known. He is so in tune to my feelings and emotions. He is always quick to give me a kiss or lick my tears away when I'm sad. He is an angel sent to me from heaven and he is my whole world. I am distraught that I am unable to afford this surgery that he desperately needs and that I have to see him in pain. He has several teeth that need to be extracted due to chronic infection into the bone that has not responded to multiple rounds of antibiotics. I am a senior who receives SSI benefits only and I was not approved for Care Credit. I have attached the quote for his surgery and my SSI benefits statement.

With the help of Pet Assistance, Inc. Shadow had an extensive 2 hour surgery to have 10 teeth extracted as well as having gum tissue cut back and debrided. Shadow has an excellent prognosis and came through it like a champ! I have attached a photo of him on the way home after surgery showing off his pearly whites. I don’t think the anesthesia had completely worn off yet!
