On Thursday, December 19th, Our volunteer Sara was doing her morning shift at Pet Angel Cat Adoption & Rescue when she heard something at the door. She opened up the front door to find a crate with a small, almost hairless dog inside. She is missing most of her fur due to being infested with fleas, and was extremely thirsty.

Pet Angel is a cat-only rescue. We are not equipped to handle dogs. We want to make that abundantly clear: we are NOT a dog rescue. However. This poor girl needed our help.

Our amazing Volunteer Sara took her crate inside our storage room and gave her food and water. Our volunteers Joanne and her daughter Angelina, who are going to be fostering this sweet girl, picked up this sweet dog we are now calling Tinsel, and took her directly to our vet this morning. Our vet established Tinsel is 2-3 years old, has had puppies before (although we cannot tell how recent) and she was treated for fleas and got her first vaccines while at our vet today. She has been extremely neglected. Tinsel will be spending the holidays in recovery in a foster home with our volunteers. On December 30th, she will be going back to our vets to get some bloodwork done. Once her fur is grown in and she is healthy again, she will get spayed and we will ensure she finds her forever home. We will not be taking inquires on her at this time.

We want to make it clear that while we are helping Poor Tinsel and will not be transferring it to another organization at this time, We are NOT a dog rescue. This is a one-time thing. The Department of Agriculture licenses us to care for cats only, and our facility is not set up to house dogs (hence why she is in foster care.)

Like we stated previously, because we are not a dog rescue, and we have not been accepting animals, we are asking for donations toward this sudden case. All donations will go directly toward Tinsel's vet care from today’s visit, toward her bloodwork on the 30th, and toward her future spay surgery in 2025.

Here is the vet break down's for how much her care will cost:

Today's visit: $107

Her blood work on the 30th: $400

Her spay later in 2025: $295

Total, we need $802 (rounding to just $800) to give Tinsel her total vet care.

Tinsel is safe, warm, and with your help, we will get her to "healthy" soon too!

Thank you so much for your consideration in helping us save Tinsel.
