Summer is a 4-year-old Sheltie-Collie mix who broke the tibia in her leg playing ball. Her owner was called to military duty in NC and couldn’t take her on the road while her leg needs attention. Double S Animal Rescue & Sanctuary, Inc. offered to take Summer to get her the necessary vet care. Her leg had been set in a cast, but due to complications, it will need to be re-cast. She may also need reconstructive surgery costing over $3,000. [Update: emergency surgery will be needed]

Radar is a Lhasa Apso found abandoned on a country road at 5 am one morning. He is now at Double S Animal Rescue & Sanctuary, Inc., but during his stay with his rescuer, he may have got kicked by a mule. He needs extensive eye care and his eye may have to be removed if it doesn’t heal. Radar is almost blind and hears very little, but it is unknown if a previous condition. He also needs shots and neutering. Sambo is a rescued all-black elderly gent of a cat and is about 20 years old. He suffered a very bad stress-related respiratory and eye infection following the October 2007 wildfires in San Diego County in California. Although his respiratory issues have greatly improved, he still has extensive problems with his eye and needs additional treatments. Double S Animal Rescue & Sanctuary, Inc. desperately needs your help today towards costs for urgent veterinary treatments for these precious animals. Please make even just a small a contribution directly to Steele Canyon Veterinary Clinic and VSS on behalf of the sanctuary.

Double S Animal Rescue & Sanctuary, Inc. is a sanctuary and animal rescue organization housing dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, roosters, ducks, burros, emus, and a goose. Many of these animals had been moved several times to escape the fires last October. The sanctuary has recently relocated to Warner Springs, California and is also in need of feed, supplies and building supply materials. Gift cards to Wal-Mart, etc. are also welcome.
