We meet medical needs

 At just six months  old Petey was found with a severely broken leg.  Not  just broke but turned in the wrong direction. It was broken in the growth plate and required a tricky surgery but the orthopedic fixed it and saved his leg. He was adopted and moved to Orlando to be with his new mom.  Because of your generous donations, Petey (now Sir Michael Peter the Great), is living a great life. His mom makes wigs for cancer patients. He gets to help her deliver them to hospitals. This picture is of him wearing a couple himself.  

Nellie was a tethered and attacked by another dog.  Her foot was broken in four places.  She did not receive medical care timely and was left to suffer.  She was so flea infested that when she was given a Capstar her fawn colored coat turned black with all the fleas exiting her skin.  The surgeon saved her foot and she is adopted and living with her new family. 

 Suzy Sweet Pea arrived at the shelter with broken bones after being hit by a car.  Without organizations like CCFAP to take care of her medical needs, Suzy may have been put to sleep because her needs were more than animal services can provide.  Thanks to donations of a caring community we were able to help her.  She is living her happily ever after with a wonderful family and a canine sister.   

 Zander was a precious little puppy that was beaten by his owner.  Thankfully, someone who knew of it brought Zander to the vet and the owner was later arrested.  Zander was placed in a foster home and CCFAP ensured he had the medical care he needed.  Zander was later adopted by one of the vet techs that cared for him at the vet office.  

 Tyson arrived at the shelter with the largest tumor we've ever seen!  CCFAP provided his medical care to remove it and we helped him get to a no-kill rescue where he was later adopted.  The tumor was so heavy we were amazed at how well he coped with it and what an amazing, happy attitude he had.  

 The sad eyes are gone and caster is all smiles now.  Caster was at the shelter for awhile until we discovered how badly he needed emergency oral surgery.  CCFAP took care of his medical expenses so he could have 8 impacted teeth and part of a necrotic jaw bone removed.  He was probably in pain for many years.  Caster is now living his happily ever after with a wonderful new family who loves him dearly.   

Rhonda came into the shelter as an injured stray and there is no telling how long she has been on her own or how long she had been injured.  The X-ray revealed an old fracture, that didn't heal properly.  So this precious girl has been in serious pain for some time.   We helped her through surgery and rehab and she was adopted into her forever home.  

 Missy is an adult Retriever mix that came to the shelter with an old injury. Missy had suffered a trauma at some point in her life that left her with a broken leg that healed improperly causing it to be much shorter than the other. We have no idea how long she has lived this way. She was found in a ditch with a litter of puppies. Missy was a great mom and all of her puppies have been adopted. She was very loving and patient even in her condition.  Missy needed surgery to reconstruct the Tibia to lengthen it so she can walk normally. 

Tally is a real trooper! She came into the shelter with a long, vertical fracture of the femur. You could see in the x-ray that the length of the bone was split in two.  Tally was only six months old when she came to us and had suffered incredible pain in her short life. 

After this pint-sized bit of sweetness went through terrible surgery and no telling what before that, she maintained her love for people.  She is a precious girl.  She healed well from her fractures and was adopted by a couple of very nice ladies and is now living her happily ever after.   

 Hodge was found as a stray with blunt force trauma to the chest.  X-rays revealed an abnormality with the heart.  The cardiac workup was positive for Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA). It's a congenital heart defect which will result in an early death and considerable suffering if not corrected. It was time sensitive and he needed surgery to correct it.  With surgery the prognosis is good and Hodges should live a normal life.  When found, he was only 10 pounds at around 10 weeks old.  

Rocky had his share of sorrows.  He lost his lifetime canine companion and then his owner took him to the animal shelter and walked away.  Rocky was suffering from grief and depression.  Because he was anxious he would jump at his kennel gate every time someone passed.  After months of doing this on the concrete floor his knee gave out.  He had to have surgery to repair his knee and one of our volunteers took him home to recover.  We discovered that in the home he was calm and at peace.  Rocky was adopted by a wonderful mom and is living a happily ever after story.

  At 3 months old, Noley has been injured long enough to have muscle wasting. Our best guess is that she was dropped or stepped on.  Her dislocated hip was left for so long that she had a luxated knee because of compensating for the hip. She was found wandering the streets in Inverness where she was likely put out to fend for herself. Despite her injuries she is extremely happy, wiggly, and wagging.  She did well after surgery and found her forever home with loving parents and canine siblings.    

 Zeek is an exceptionally sweet boy that had a Cruciate ligament injury to the knee.  He had a slight limp when he entered the shelter but while in a foster home it became worse to the point his leg was unusable.  His leg became very inflamed and was painful to the touch.  He could not bear weight and we knew we needed to take him to the orthopedic specialist for surgery.  He had the surgery and is much improved.  His luck changed and he hit the jackpot with a loving family who adores him.  We were happy to help Zeek on his journey.    

 This is Julius the cat who CCFAP will sponsor for his FHO surgery. Everyone who has met Julius comments about what an unusual and spectacular cat he is. He’s definitely pretty special and we are happy to help him.  

Charles arrived at the shelter with terrible skin condition.  But he also was in pain due to a damaged knee.  His skin condition was resolved and we were also able to help him with a TPLO surgery.  Now Charles is able to bear weight and walk again.  He stayed with his foster mom during recovery for eight weeks and is now adopted enjoying his new life!
