💔 They say bad things happen in threes — but we believe good things come in threes too. And right now, you have the chance to be part of something truly good. Meet the brave little soul in the photos: her name is Buffy (yes, named after Buffy the Vampire Slayer, because she’s tough and resilient).
The tough news:
1️⃣ Our shelter is overcrowded — we’re scrambling to find adopters, fosters, and rescues just to make room.
2️⃣ We’re asking the public to delay pet surrenders if at all possible to help us stabilize.
3️⃣ We just learned about Buffy, a 1-year-old stray currently at Animal Emergency Hospital with a broken femur who needs urgent surgery.
Now for the amazing news:
✨ Buffy is going to get her surgery! Thanks to a compassionate surgeon who’s donating their time for the procedure.
✨ Buffy already has a foster home lined up, ready to care for her the moment she’s cleared post-op!
✨ Our community is rallying — donations are coming in, volunteers are stepping up, and people like YOU are making a difference.
So… who is Buffy?
Buffy was brought to Animal Emergency Hospital by a volunteer from Lost Animal Resource Group after being found alone and injured. Despite knowing our kennels were full, AEH didn’t hesitate. They took her in, stabilized her, and ran the tests. That’s when they found the fracture in her leg.
Buffy’s been a puddle of snuggles through it all — calm, affectionate, and trusting despite her pain. She’s on around-the-clock meds and is being kept calm and comfortable.
But here’s the one piece we still need help with: Buffy needs a special orthopedic implant to stabilize and heal her leg properly. The cost is roughly $1,000 — and while the surgery and other care have been donated, this implant is our responsibility.
💥 Of course, we said YES — how could we not?
Now we’re hoping you’ll say yes, too.
💛 Donate today to help cover the cost of Buffy’s implant. Every dollar helps us give her the future she deserves — one with a healed leg, a soft bed, and a loving home.
