On July 27th, Carl and Thorne, along with four other retired racing greyhounds, were caught in a devastating house fire that left them with serious smoke inhalation damage. Tragically, the four other greyhounds lost their lives in the fire. Pam Callahan, their owner, lost everything, including her beloved dogs, but is now focused on helping Carl and Thorne recover.

It is a miracle that Carl and Thorne survived. They are currently being treated at an emergency vet, where they were rushed early Sunday morning. Both dogs require constant oxygen and supportive care as they recover from the effects of severe smoke inhalation. Marion Animal Shelter is helping to cover the cost of their care, but we need the help of our community in order to get these sweet dogs back to full health.

Funds raised will help the Marion Animal Shelter continue to provide Carl and Thorne with ongoing emergency treatment, oxygen therapy, medications, and any additional procedures needed for their recovery. The shelter staff and veterinarians are working tirelessly to give them the best chance at a full recovery, but they can’t do it alone.

Every contribution will help ensure Carl and Thorne receive the care they deserve and support the Marion Animal Shelter’s mission to protect and heal animals in need. Your support will make a real difference in their journey to recovery.
