By becoming a Friend of PAWs today with monthly gifts, you can provide loving care and forever homes to animals like Myrtle—no matter what stage of life they may be at.
When Myrtle, an 11-year-old Maltese dog, arrived on our doorstep, she had a long list of critical needs after suffering alone on the streets. She had a severely matted, dirty, flea infested coat and a mouth full of painful rotting teeth.
Because of generous regular support from our Friends of PAWs, we were ready to give Myrtle all the help she needed. She received a humane groom to delicately remove almost her entire coat and relieve her damaged skin of the constant pulling and itching of her matted fur.
Brave Myrtle then underwent two surgeries. The first surgery was to remove six mammary tumours that could have been cancerous. The second surgery was to treat her Grade Four dental disease—the most severe level—carefully extracting 16 of her rotten teeth.
Knowing we had the committed support of Friends of PAWs, we could give Myrtle a greater level of care. After such extensive procedures, Myrtle could recover in the peaceful environment of her foster home. Myrtle’s foster carer, Anya, has now adopted Myrtle so they can be a family forever!
Ongoing gifts from Friends of PAWs help us to plan our work, so we can give vulnerable animals like Myrtle a whole new lease on life. But sadly, she won’t be the last animal to come to us in desperate need.
Please help to change the lives of more animals like Myrtle.
A vital 50% of all donations that we receive come from our Friends of PAWs supporters. Without this kind of support, we simply couldn’t be there for pets in need.
