The problem in our area is we have alot of homeless dogs and cats. Normally not abused like Toby and Skinny Thank God. We are hoping that Skinny will only need her shots and is going to need to be worked with alot to build trust again. Bev is going to let me know and keep me updated. I had tried to call rescue groups in our area before about Toby but they are all underfunded and overloaded. They refer me back to animal control. They say they are sorry but that they don't have the funds or space to help at this time. When Bev calls me after the vet visit I will know more about expenses involved and see where we stand. I am praying she will only need her shots and the exam goes fine. Our local PetsMart works with a local rescue group finding homes for homeless animals and getting donations for thier cause so they already have boxes set up for that. Some of our local vets work with local organizations finding homes and collecting donations for the rescue organizations. Toby's Animal Clinic that he goes to is one of them. That I am sure is why the Vet cut his bill in half to help. Toby is going to the dental clinic in the same Animal Hospital today for the dental estimate. Bev is taking Skinny there on Monday. I am going to talk to the vet's office tonight about Skinny and explain the situation. I am sure they will help her too.
