Dear Friends of Fiona -One of our favorite customers Leslie alerted us through her blog about a very hard case rescue she is taking in. Leslie is one of those people that always goes the extra mile for dogs in need and has our admiration for all she does. Please read her blog entry regarding Rishu:
Rishu's Journey
Meet Rishu. Rishu is an owner surrender at 8 years old. She was dumped at a high kill shelter that isn't known for their clean environments. Her time was very, very short. Only two-three days at max.Unfortunately, all the rescues were full and no one was able to take her in. Her time would be up in one day.I decided that we could not possibly let that happen. So we stepped up to adopt her as a private citizen in hopes of helping her find her forever home and having a second chance at the good life.After our decision to get her, the shelter discovered she is heartworm positive and understood if I no longer wanted her. They told me if I wasn't coming for her still that they would euthanize her immediately since she was already at the vet. OF COURSE I WAS STILL COMING TO GET HER!!She will be coming home tomorrow. She needs heartworm treatment, which is going to run around $500. Can you help give this old lady a second chance?

In response to this information we are going to donate $7 from each Cat's Pajamas Collar sale to this cause. Please help defray the out of pocket cost to Leslie for Rishu's heartworm treatment. Being an ex-vet technician I can tell you many dogs handle the treatment favorable and go on to have great quality of life. For Leslie to take this dog in with such serious health issues is amazing and we hope to help with any donation we can.
