Keetah is a happy and sweet shelter resident who keeps on smiling despite her challenges. She was rescued at 3 days old with her mother, Scrunchie (aka Mercy) last August. Approaching a year old, knowing nothing but the busy shelter life and a foster home’s love, she has had a pretty good start. Recently, Keetah lost the battle with a neighborhood fence and broke her leg. Our shelter has been overwhelmed with special needs dogs and vet bills lately, so this one put us over the top! Our first quote for surgery was $4000, but we managed to find a senior vet who was willing to do it for the cost of the surgery as a learning experience for his junior vets. Win-Win!

Keetah is comfortable now with her leg in a splint and awaits her surgery. The cost for surgery and rehabilitation is approximately $700 and we have already received $425 in donations for Keetah. If you can help, please consider making a donation – every penny gets her closer to recovery.
