The
mission of Sammie's Friends is to provide medical care for the animals
at the Nevada County Animal Shelter, making them adoptable, and to
support other disadvantaged animals in Nevada County that without help
would otherwise be euthanized to end their suffering. We
accept donations to pay for medical care for the animals. Many
times the animals have conditions which keeps them from being adopted,
yet the condition is not considered an emergency because it is not
life-threatening (i.e. demodectic mange, broken legs and hips,
amputation of legs, respiratory infections, foxtails in the ear and
nose, and many more conditions). If these medical issues are not cared
for, no one
will adopt them because of the condition they are in. Animals
often come to the Shelter because they are strays and have been
abandoned by people who should have cared for them. Many of these
animals have medical problems. In 2008, Sammie's Friends paid for
medical care for 444 animals and spent more than $122,000 for their
care. In 2009, Sammie's Friends helped 619 animals by spending
$143,000 for their medical care. With your continuing donations, we
can help even more animals in the future. Thank
you for your support. |
