YouTube Video VVVIQ1dWXzdEa0p4QmxjVVF0c3JjcDNBLk1VcGpFQUN6ZEEw Meeps entered our rescue just a few weeks ago completely paralyzed in her back legs.  Surgery would give her a 10% chance of recovery so we didn't pursue it; but LOOK AT HER NOW.  She is stronger by the day.  Meeps is writing her own story! We can't wait to see where more time, patience and her determination takes her next!

Shilo had been hit by a car just a few weeks ago with the trauma primarily damaging her jaw/nose/eyes/face.  We were the only rescue that could respond to this shelter's plea on time and we thankfully had an amazing vet partner who said YES to helping us save her.   But look at Shilo just a few weeks later thanks to quick intervention, two surgeries and a supportive vet team and amazing foster! Thank you to everyone who donated and believed she was worth saving.  You can read more about her; see her before photos or support her vet bills here:  https://givebutter.com/save-shiloh-yelxo2 @newhopeanimalrescuenfp4780
