7.30.10 Thank you to everyone who has been donating for Rockefeller's medical fund. We are almost to our goal!  He is doing very well in his foster home and will be available for adoption in a few weeks.
Rockefeller Smiles for a Better Future 

When our veterinarians approach this funny fellow in the WHS veterinary clinic, they are welcomed by a goofy grin and wagging tail.  Despite suffering a traumatic injury, Rockefeller is optimistic and eager to trust.

He wasn’t always so happy. The 1-year-old Bassett Hound mix arrived at WHS from another shelter with a bad limp in his rear leg. We don't know whether he was hit by a car, fell from a porch, or suffered abuse, but Rockefeller had fractured his femur and was living with an undiagnosed broken bone for months...

Without treatment, Rockefeller's leg would have likely gone lame and developed severe arthritis, causing him further pain. The surgery at WHS, however, gave him a second chance. After he is fully recovered, Rockefeller will move into our regular adoption program and he'll begin a second journey - with a loving family.

We were only able to help Rockefeller because of donations from people like you. We do not receive government funding and depend on the community’s support to fund all of our lifesaving initiatives, including the care provided to Rockefeller. 

Will you give $10, $25 or even $50 to help us care for Rockefeller? Donate now. You can also sponsor Rockefeller in honor of someone and send a personalized ecard.
