When the only caretakers she knew packed up and left her and her nine newborn pups all alone, without access to food or water, every day of Violet’s life was a struggle to survive.

So how does a sick, malnourished mama bounce back from such a traumatic series of events? The relentless, caring support of animal lovers like you.

When Violet arrived at our Pet Health Centers, she was diagnosed with Demodex, an infection caused by small mites that live in the hair follicle. The stress of her abandonment and insufficient nutrition through pregnancy and lactation likely exacerbated the infection… but this brave girl continued to do all she could to nurse her pups and keep them safe until help arrived.

Now that Violet’s family is safe in our care, their journey back to health is just beginning. And they could use a loyal friend like you to ensure they get the round-the-clock care they need to recover.

Please sponsor our nursery for as little as $15/month – that’s 50 cents a day! – to send this desperate family and all the animals in our care your ongoing support.
