EMERGENCY MEDICAL FUND
Please Help! Our Eskie Medical Fund is dangerously low and we have several Eskies in need of expensive veterinary treatments. Our latest little guy is a youngster named Goblin who is battling extensive medical challenges and fighting for his life! Please read Goblin's Story and sponsor his care or donate to our Medical Fund to help all our Eskies in Need! Sample procedures our Medical Fund has covered:
- Puppies coming from a horrendous neglect situation were treated for Parvo; two of the three survived. Vet costs: $1200
- Car accident victim -- two broken legs: $980 in vet care. Read about brave Little Orphan Annie in our Rainbow Bridge section
- A puppy needing a leg amputation: $400. For Holly's story, read our Happy Tails
- Sweet little Eskie boy attacked by a German Shepherd: $670 in emergency hospital bills
- Numerous foster dogs requiring ACL repair or Luxating Patella (popped knees) surgery at a cost of $600 to $1200 each
- In 2005 alone, we had over 23 Eskies that needed Heartworm treatments ranging from $150 to $500 each -- 2006 looks to surpass that!
We need your help -- now, more than ever! Since March 2003 we have rescued almost 1000 beautiful Eskies. Our work isn't done -- but our funding almost is. We are always taking in new foster dogs (sometimes as many as 6 to 10 in a single week), and most of them need complete vetting:
- An Eskie without Special Needs will cost our rescue about $200 (spay/neuter, vaccinations, heartworm tests, preventive etc). Our adoption fees alone do not cover the vet bills of our precious rescues. Some Eskies need even more help, and we are committed to giving it to them... but we need YOUR help! Even a small donation will go a long way: $15 can pay for a rabies shot; $20 for a heartworm test. Whatever you're able to donate would be SO appreciated!
- Read more about how to donate to our Medical Fund or Sponsor an Eskie in our Sponsor Information, or you can simply donate right here online -- make sure you indicate that your donation is for the Medical Fund or the Eskie's name you are sponsoring in the 'Notes' section of the PayPal form. We thank you so much for helping our Eskies in need, and most of all, they thank you!

The cost of saving over 1,200 Eskies in 5 Years = PRICELESS!
