SOPHIE'S MARATHON FUNDRAISER
PLEASE HELP!
We have reached a crucial stage in the recovery process of Sophie. Therapy alone will not be enough to make Sophie ever walk normally again. She will need the surgery in order to recover. We need your help in raising the money so Sophie can have her surgery. We have created a page where you can watch the total donations received as the day progresses. It's a Sophie Marathon. Even the smallest amount will help.

We would ask that you share this post with as many other folks as possible. All one needs to do is watch any of the videos to be captured by this magical girl. The estimate for the procedure Sophie will need is $6000.00. The estimate includes: surgery to remove the cyst off the spinal cord, in house blood work, injectable medication (antibiotic/pain meds), IV fluids, hospitalization (2 nights). The estimate also includes the 2 week follow-up with the surgeon for a recheck and suture removal.
If you haven’t seen the latest Sophie video here is the link where you can watch Sophie’s Miracle. Or watch any of
the 3 Sophie videos on the donation page.

We promise to keep you updated on Sophie’s activities and progress both going into and coming out of surgery. We just need your help to do the surgery.

This little pup is sitting in the back of a high kill shelter in pain. He is in the medical ward where no one will see him. Even with his adorable face he had no chance of being adopted because he is suffering from a broken leg. County shelters simply don't have the funding to do much more than wrap up these injuries and hope for the best. His time was up yesterday but one our our volunteers stumbled upon him and begged the shelter to give him another day. At just three months old this little guy has seen the worst of the world. His medical care will not be inexpensive but with your help we can show him how great life can be.
