Valentine
Valentine, a 5 year old shepard/collie mix, was found lying in a ditch by a lady walking by. She had been hit by a car and left there with a broken hind leg, alone and in great pain. She needed to have surgery and was immediately taken to Northwest Animal Clinic. 56% of dogs and 71% of cats that enter animal shelters are euthanized. Part of the reason the euthanasia rates are so high is that the animals that come into a shelter need attention because they are either sick or have been abused.
Most animal shelters do not have enough staff to take care of the neediest animals and this is where the role of foster families become so crucial. Without the generous donations given to the Georgetown Animal Shelter, Valentine would not have had the opportunity to have her leg fixed and would have had to have been put to sleep. Her leg was pinned together and healed. Shortly after, she was adopted by a loving family with whom she will be able to live a long, happy life.
The Georgetown Animal Shelter wishes to thank everyone out there for their donations of time and money that helped us save Valentine's life and find her a new home.
