Last month, at an unhoused outreach event, one of our SNAP Team Members Melina met an unhoused member and his dog, Six.

Six had his ear wrapped, and the member shared that he had already been turned away from several places. He was told by one organization that Six would need to be relinquished, and another animal hospital even suggested euthanasia.

That's when members of the San Diego Rescue Coalition (SDRC) stepped in.

And this is what community looks like when people refuse to give up.

Thanks to the incredible team at All God’s Creatures, Six received surgery to remove his ear canal and a tumor on his chest. A Team Member from A New Life Charitable Foundation stepped in to transport Six to the hospital. Project Street Vet and Animal Welfare Foundation paid a portion of the surgery bill, a Lionel's Legacy member bought a new stroller for Six that will be easy for him to get into, and a SNAP team member opened her home and fostered Six for a few weeks while he recovered.

Last Week Six went back to his owner and is doing great!

Six matters.
Our unhoused community members matter.
And this is why compassionate community partnerships matter so much.

SNAP team member Melina Lavullis will host a fundraiser at Landini's Pizzeria to raise funds for Six's surgery. All God's Creatures was so gracious in taking Six in immediately and performing the necessary surgery, and we are hoping to raise at least $1,000 towards the cost.

There will be great raffle prizes, a doggy treat bar by Dexter's Deli and much more!

Please share!!
