Veterinary Care Assistance

Cooper had a fatty tumor the size of a grapefruit on his underbelly. He also had quite a few rotten teeth that needed to be removed. 

We worked with Dr. Mike Raposo and his team at Shores Animal Clinic. They removed the tumor and bad teeth. Cooper is much more comfortable and back home with his grateful owner.

This three year old pit bull swallowed a tennis ball during an innocent game of fetch. The ball became stuck in his esophagus. He needed life saving stomach surgery to remove the ball. The owner was unable to pay for surgery. We worked with Jupiter Pet Emergency and Specialty Center to make sure Dude could return home to his grateful Dad. 

She is a Miniature Doberman Pincher who wiggled out of her mom’s arms and fell and broke her elbow. Five, yes five, pet non-profits (including Passion for Paws) came together to subsidize her $3,100 surgery. Eco Deco Pet Hospital coordinated the successful surgery. Thanks Safe a Pet, Mosby Foundation, Homeless Pet Foundation, Frankie and Friends Foundation. 

Unfortunately, this senior four-pound poodle, he suffers from congestive heart failure requiring monthly full work ups (EKG, blood test and x rays). It is important that Cisco is comfortable in his golden years. Poor Cisco was abandoned on a balcony when his owner was incarcerated. It was determined that he had never received vet care.

Little Ball of Fur, a large male cat, had a urinary blockage and was doing badly. He needed a catheter and hospitalization for several days. His owner is low income and could not afford the veterinary bill on his own. Veterinary care was provided at Paws2Help Vet Hospital. He is doing fine now but without vet care he would not have made it.

 Sweetie Pie is a tame cat that was abandoned on the streets. Some  cruel person threw motor oil on him. He lost his multi-colored coat. The  hair follicles were damaged, so it doesn’t look like his fur will be  growing back. He and other rescued senior cats are now residing in the  new Passion for Paws Old Cat Sanctuary. They now receive good care and  have plenty of free roaming space.  

Cemi, an adorable eight year old Maltese - poodle mix,  and her owner came to us when Cemi was in desperate need of life saving gall bladder surgery. Her owner, a struggling single mother, was unable to pay for the surgery. Dale Porcher (DMV) and Shores Animal Clinic of Palm Beach  performed the surgery. We worked with RedRover Relief to cover the costs of the surgery. 

Rudy is a little dog that has epilepsy. His owner, a disabled veteran, lives on a small fixed income and needed assistance with vet care and Rudy's seizure control medication (pheno-barbitol). Without the medication, Rudy was having lots of seizures. Rudy has been with his human Dad since he was a puppy and they are close companions--and his best friend. 

 Cookie, a chihuahua, recently received vet care at from Paws2Help Animal Hospital to surgically remove 3 golf ball size tumors (mammary) that restricted her movement and she was also spayed. She is much more comfortable. Thanks to Banfield Foundation for a veterinary assistance to help the pets of low income pet owners access much needed veterinary care.
