Brigid is a mere 4.5 pounds and her first year of life has been a struggle. She is just one of 1,200 dogs who will be transferred to WHS over several weeks, just one of the dogs provided a second chance to live freely instead of being caged in a facility absent of love, handling or even toys. Compared to many of the other rescued dogs, though, Brigid has a tougher road ahead. This little girl has a medical condition that causes her kneecaps to pop out of place. This problem is painful for Brigid, so she walks with a distinct, hesitant gait in order to avoid the pain and discomfort of her condition.

Only specialized surgery will help Brigid stay on all fours. Each dog from Puppy Haven will receive treatment for their unique conditions and Brigid is no exception.  But we need your help.  The costs associated with Brigid’s veterinary treatment, surgery, hospital stay and adoption services are likely to reach about $2,500. Like all the animals at WHS, Brigid depends on donations from individuals like you to provide expert animal care and adoption services. You make all the difference in these animals’ lives. 

Your contribution of $10, $25 or even $50 will go directly to the care of this affectionate, deserving little dog. You can also sponsor Brigid in honor of a loved one and send a personalized ecard with her photo to let them know.

Great news! We've raised $2,445 for Brigid's care!
