SMALL POODLE FOUND ABANDONED
A
tiny whimper was heard coming from a rain soaked box on
a very cold night in a Madison Heights K-mart parking lot.
Inside was a tiny 15 year old poodle, scared and shivering.
It was very clear this was not a well dog. Her fur was very
thin and patchy, and her face showed signs of an infection.
The tiny dog was taken to Madison Heights Animal Control
where a compassionate volunteer and animal rescuer gave
her warmth, food, comfort and reassurance. The little angel
was named Tina.
An immediate vet visit revealed a mammary tumor, 13 rotten
teeth that had caused an infection spreading into the nasal
cavity. This sweet little girl did not deserve to be cast
off. Already she is eating and showing signs of play. Her
will to live is strong. But she needs your help. Every dollar
will go to her medical needs.
Please find it in your heart to give this little girl a
chance for a happy ending.
MAVIS,
A GIRL WITH A HEART
Early one morning
police found a frail, young, 18 pound emaciated dog on a roadside.
The dog had been hit by a passing car and was left suffering with
severe injuries.
The police rushed the dog to a vet where rescuer Lisa, founder
of Abandoned Animal Rescue of Michigan, was alerted. After x-rays
were taken, it was clear that the little dog, now named Mavis,
had some bad news coming her way. Her right front leg was completely
shattered at the elbow. Repair was impossible, and amputation
was the only solution.
The surgery was done by the wonderful staff at MVS.
Today, only three weeks later, Mavis is out-running most of her
doggie friends. She is well and very happy. Her pain is gone and
a healthy second chance at life is before her.

GFA: Dedicated To Saving Animals Great and Small
Look into the eyes of the innocent.
Imagine a homeless
animal frightened and alone on death row in a shelter.
Although he cannot read a calendar or tell time on a clock,
he knows his fate.
He hears the sad cries of many abandoned animals just like
him.
He cowers in the back of his cage, awaiting his tragic fate
as he dreams of being in the arms of a human to love him.
You can save him and give him a chance for a bright tomorrow.
GFA supports NO KILL rescues to save doomed animals in shelters.
Take a step for abused, neglected and abandoned animals.
