2 FAMILIES, 2 TRAGEDIES
ATHENA
Athena is a 1.5-year-old rescued pup who has been with her forever family since she was 6 weeks old. She is much loved and goes everywhere with her humans as a faithful companion.
Athena miraculously survived parvo as a pup, only to be attacked last week, in her own yard, by three neighbor dogs. Police have opened a case but will need to follow through on prosecuting the negligent owners.
Athena required immediate surgical attention. Rips and punctures riddled her body as seen in the photos. It will take time for this beautiful girl to recover from this traumatizing event, but Athena is a real trooper!

On September 23rd, Koko and his humans were involved in a terrible car accident in which Koko was ejected from the vehicle. Scared and hurt, he ran, was lost for several days, and then found by an animal angel and reunited him with his family.
Koko sustained a severely broken jaw and other minor injuries. His jaw will have to be wired and pinned for it to heal properly. Koko’s family is eternally grateful that he was found, but realize Koko has a long road to recovery.
