\"In foster care, Spyder was coming out of her shell\"<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Spyder was rescued by animal services as a stray. She suffered from the usual circumstances of life on the streets, such as fleas and malnutrition, which was the first step in her care, immediately after she entered the shelter.<\/p>

Underdog Animal Rescue made the obvious choice to intervene and save Spyder from euthanasia, as she was estimated to be less than two years old.<\/p>

This is a harsh reality for many healthy dogs in California shelters, and the rate of euthanasia is currently the highest it has been in three years.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

She is a healthy, happy puppy who settled in beautifully into her foster home and was really coming out of her shell!<\/p>

Sadly, an unfortunately accident caused Spyder to have a broken leg. She jumped out of a chair, excited to play, and landed in a way that caused a break in two places. The emergency vet visit, x-rays and the subsequent surgery itself accrued a bill of almost $6000.\u00a0<\/p>

\"With youth on her side...\"<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Fortunately, Spyder\u2019s broken leg does not reflect her overall health! With youth on her side, this type of surgery has the highest success rate and Spyder will go on to live a long, healthy life – all that’s left is for her to find a loving home!<\/p>\n

This unforeseen financial burden, while challenging, highlights the struggles faced by shelters like Underdog Animal Rescue. Spyder’s surgery was so expensive that it put a considerable strain on Underdog – like many other shelters.<\/p>\n

It is cruel to euthanize otherwise healthy dogs, like Spyder, simply because of overwhelming medical expenses. Unfortunately, expenses such as these put into question whether or not a shelter can provide care for future rescues.<\/span><\/p>\n

But thanks to the staff at Underdog Animal Rescue and the heartwarming<\/span><\/span> support of TagsforHope customers like you<\/span>, Underdog Animal Center is able to replenish <\/span>the budget for vet expenses and continue to connect dogs like Spyder to loving homes they are entitled to!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
