We have had an unprecedented number of dogs come through our rescue in need of more than the usual vetting.  Some of them have completed their vetting and moved on, but left large veterinary bills in their wake.  Most, however, are still with us, and with adoptions down (economy?  time of year?), we don't have adoption fees coming in to at least partially cover their expenses.  Our foster homes generally absorb the cost of food and other incidentals, but we rely on donations and adoption fees to cover vetting.  Below is a summary of dogs who have had or need to have more extensive vetting.  We welcome any donations, small or large.  Can you contribute?  Our vets thank you.  (And so do we!)
