My Nonprofit Reviews

Early 2019, a new rescue I took off the street and named Buddy, was attacked by another dog, while I was at work and my son was watching the animals. When I got home that night I checked Buddy over and he seemed OK, but 2 days later, I noticed he was walking slow, which I figured was just a sore muscle.

The next morning, he was very lethargic and laying on his side in the back yard, when I finally - 3 days after the attack - I realized his scrotum had been ripped open and he was very infected.

I took him to the emergency clinic closest to my house and was charged over $600.00 for a few pain pills and antibiotics. This same hospital was fairly adamant that I let them do a surgery called a Scrotal Ablation and the cost would be between $6,000. and 8,000.00!

I did not have that kind of money laying around and took him home. Upon taking him to another vet the cost was about 1/2, but I still needed financial assistance, even for $3,800.

A friend told me about Actors and Others for Animals and I sent an email asking for help ---

Not only did they help from start to finish, but they also found a teaching hospital that was able to preform the surgery for less than a 10th of even the lowered estimate and they covered the entire procedure.

What a God-send these people are in a world where so many struggle financially.

THANK YOU ACTORS AND OTHERS FOR ANIMALS FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.

The day will come when I can give back again, and you are at the top of my list!
