Gemma Coccioli is organizing this fundraiser.

This is Angel-a beautiful young hound dog mix that was rescued by Save The Animals Rescue Team II (START II) from a kill shelter in Virginia. She was spayed last week, cared for and watched closely; everything seemed fine, and she was healing nicely. On the fifth day afterwards, a small mass appeared near the beginning of her stitches. Her internal stitches had broken, and it was the beginning of a hernia.
As she was being readied to be taken to the vet, her stitches broke wide open and there was blood everywhere. Within minutes, her intestines had fallen out. The poor dog panicked and chewed on them trying to pull them out---making matters worse causing punctures in them. She was rushed to the hospital, but due to rush hour, it took over a half hour to get there. By that time, she had lost so much blood that she passed out. A team of doctors worked on her---she required a transfusion of 2 pints of blood . The doctors needed to remove some of the more damaged intestines, and reconnect the rest.
By the grace of God, Angel survived. At this moment she is recuperating at the hospital.
So far, her estimated hospital bill is close to $10,000.
START II is a small non profit shelter, relying strictly on donations. A bill of $10,000 will set us back tremendously. We are hoping that you find it in your heart to contribute towards Angel's recovery. Any amount will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.
