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.

Big Lucky Jack is a pitbull who was abused and neglected. We need your help to save him!
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 malnourished, infested with ticks, and has been shot in the leg. Please help our dog rescue to help 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.

Duke is a Lab who needs surgery to repair his wounds. Please support Western Plains Animal Refuge in Hays, Kansas.
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.

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!
