Time to Rally!
We see a lot of animals who need homes, and occasionally, one
breaks our hearts. You'll probably want to break out the kleenax on
this one.
A
couple of weeks ago, one of our volunteers noticed a sign hung on a
bulletin board advertising a red and white pit bull someone was trying
to give away. Today, that same dog was brought in to our animal shelter by a very nice
farmer. The farmer found him on his land. Big Lucky Jack is very lucky
to be alive. He is very skinny, infested with ticks, and, worst of all,
he has been shot in the leg.
Big Lucky Jack's owner had apparently decided he no longer wanted to go to the trouble of finding a home for him.

Big
Lucky Jack is now being taken care of at our facility. We're attaching
photos , including one of his ear, so that you can see how badly he is
infested with ticks. We're going to take care of him, but we need help
to cover his medical expenses. He will require at least one relatively
major surgery on his broken leg, as well as repeated x-rays, medication
and care.
Linda Fox of Colorado Animal Rescue Express (CARE), an awesome volunteer transport organization we work with frequently, donated $100 towards his surgery. We need to raise about $500 more to cover his expenses.

AND
... when it rains, it pours. Duke came in this morning as a stray. He
is a Lab that is in need of surgery immediately. His testicles are
ripped and hanging out. Our current space is limited, but we are
squeezing him in and need help with his medical bills as well.
If you would like do donate to help these dogs, please click here: http://site.westernplainsa
The donation link is at the very bottom of the page.
For those of you who don't know, Western Plains Animal Refuge is a non-profit, no-kill animal shelter. We don't euthanize animals unless they are so injured that they cannot be healed. Every time you adopt a pet from us, you are making room for us to save another animal. Many of our animals have medical conditions or other issues that would mean a death sentence for them at other shelters.
Most importantly, it is only through donations and help from people like you that we can do the work we do.
Thanks for your support! We truly appreciate you!










I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
