The last line in the 1st paragraph choked me up a bit:

Now that she is feeling better, Sweetie has turned out to be a feisty and lively little girl! She loves playing with the staff of Alpharetta Animal Hospital and her foster mom, who visits her every day, and her favorite activity is to wrestle with a little toy mouse sent to her by a kind benefactor. She loves attention and we find it especially touching when she butts her little injured head against people's hands for some TLC.

SWEETIE'S MEDICAL EXPENSES UPDATE

Thanks to the generosity of concerned people in Georgia and elsewhere, we now believe we have enough donated funds to take care of Sweetie's immediate and long-term vet bills. THANK YOU to all contributors! We welcome additional donations, which will be dedicated to "Sweetie's Fund" and used to help with medical expenses of other animals who are victims of abuse or neglect, or have other extraordinary special needs.

REWARD FUND UPDATE

We now have enough donations to be able to offer a reward leading to the arrest and conviction of the people (we believe there were at least two) who hurt Sweetie! That reward will be officially announced next week.
