Fighting for rescue, “Ricky”

Ricky was surrendered into the South Los Angeles shelter at the age of one year - full of health issues including abdomen fluid, whipworm parasite and anemia. We discovered he has a hole in his diaphragm allowing fluid to pass through his body.

Just like people, some animals aren’t born with perfect health. And, just like with people, lack of care and treatment only makes for more suffering. That’s why we’re giving Ricky the daily care he needs at our veterinarian facility in Los Angeles, CA and preparing for surgery - and we need your help.

*UPDATE*

SURGERY WAS A SUCCESS! Thanks to all who donated toward his cause. Ricky’s foster could not part with him. He was adopted into Christina’s family and lives happily and healthy in his new life.
