Update 2/27:  We just received the final invoice for Lillian and the rescue paid her bill in full (it’s attached). She is doing great at her Foster’s house - she is enjoying a comfy bed and unlimited pets. Even went on a very short potty walk and wagged her tail. We are continuing to raise funds to offset her bill and to help with what we have to do next - treat her heartworms. Not only was she used for breeding, she also was not on heartworm preventative. We don’t know the extent of the damage to her heart yet.

Lillian made it through surgery last night and is in recovery! I’ve switched this to a gofundme as the fb one was having issues (you do not need to re-donate, thank you to those that already donated!). We are hoping she can go to her foster home this afternoon! We are still a ways off from the $4,416 estimate so we are continuing to fundraise to offset the unexpected cost to save this sweet girl.

Earlier this evening, I got a message from an ER Vet tech about a poor 8 year old petite female pittie mix that was at the ER with symptoms of pyometra. The dog had symptoms for five days prior to ever being brought in and a 105 fever.

Do you know how you prevent pyometra? You spay the dog. Instead of spaying this dog, she was bred over and over for money. Now that she is ill, the owner decided she wasn’t worth the cost of the surgery (nor did they bother to find other options) and elected to have her euthanized instead. AND didn’t want to stay with her - they just left.

Thankfully, Sweet Life Rescue Center (a partner of Lola's Lucky Day) has offered to help this sweet girl get the surgery she needs to live. I’m raising funds for them to help offset the cost. Sweet Life Rescue Center is a registered 501c3 charity!

The surgery is estimated at $4,416. Any donation helps, no matter how small!

The vet where she is getting her emergency surgery done is Veterinary Emergency Group - they are also accepting donations over the phone .

We have named her Lillian, in honor of Lily.
