Tiffany Fund


As an open access shelter, we often get in animals that require basic medical treatment for infections, infestations, abuse and neglect. Unfortunately, we also see some that have extensive injuries or serious medical conditions the treatment of which, because of our limited funds, presents us with real challenges. Sometimes heartbreaking decisions have to be made to euthanize otherwise adoptable animals because the diagnosis and/or treatment of remediable conditions is beyond our financial capabilities.

COFFEE, a perky little Poodle who's just over a year old, came to the shelter after breaking his femur (thigh bone). X-rays showed that it was a serious fracture that would need to be internally fixed with a plate and pins. Coffee has successfully undergone surgery, and is making a great recovery!
He's now in foster care, where he will require 3 more months of crate rest, and a repeat X-ray in 6-8 weeks to check that his fracture is healing well.
Coffee is a playful, fun little dog who has been unfailingly cheerful throughout his ordeal. We're all happy that it looks as though his sad story will have a happy ending :-)
If you would like to help Coffee and other animals like him who come to the shelter requiring specialized medical or surgical treatment, please consider a gift to the Tiffany Fund.
