My name is Shaindel Beers, and I'm the Vice President of Pioneer Humane Society/PAWS (Pendleton Animal Welfare Shelter) in Pendleton, Oregon. Our shelter's mission is to care for our shelter pets, but often there are community members who need help with their pets as well. When this happens, I try to privately fundraise for them.

Today, I was contacted by Johnathan Perry about his dog, Sienna. Sienna is a 7-year-old German Shepherd who has Pyometra and needs emergency surgery to survive. She is currently at a vet's office hooked to an IV, and that vet wants $4,500 to operate.

I contacted the vet that our shelter relies on, and they are willing to do surgery for $2,000-$2,500. I am hoping that if we can raise this money quickly, Sienna can be transferred to the other vet and have her life-saving surgery TOMORROW.

Please help, and please share. In the past, if pet owners couldn't afford vet care, they were told to return their pets to the shelter they adopted them from and have the shelter pay for the care. I don't believe that this is right. My goal is to help keep pets in their homes with the owners who know and love them.

Thank you for sharing, donating, and caring.

Sincerely,

Shaindel Beers
