Those that know me, know I don’t ask for anything very often, and it troubles me to do so, but I may need some assistance….
As many of you know, I’ve been assisting and rescuing stray and lost animals for the past year.
I have rescued and reunited over 43 dogs since July, or found foster owners for the ones nobody wanted.
Here’s the problem I got myself into….
A team of trackers chased a black lab mix for 4-5 months in the desert in a 10 mile area and could not trap or catch it, so they asked for me to help.
After setting up game cameras, using drones, and many hours of tracking, I learned its habits, routes, and where it shelters at night.
I set up cameras and a trap in a storm drain, and 24 hrs later, my camera alerted me that I got the dog!
She was skin and bones, had been attacked by a bobcat, coyote, and javelina during those four months.
She has valley fever (probably for life) and scars on her back and legs, and several other issues, but I really bonded with this dog!
I’ve spent a couple grand on vet bills so far, and Mrs Igofar will not let me give up on her no mater what!
In two weeks she is scheduled for knee surgery (the bobcat tried to tear her knee apart).
It’s going to cost a little over $6,000 dollars!
I am NOT asking for a go fund me type thing, and a couple of my regular members have been sending me dog food or supplies for working on their bikes etc.
If anyone would like to donate any small donation, it would be much appreciated by the wife and I, so we can continue to help this dog heal.
I do not want anyone to try and pay vet bills or send more than small donations.
I will try and attach a before and after picture of Aria to show the progress we’ve made so far.
If anyone wants to help PM me for instructions on how to help, or what we need.
If someone wants to have dog food shipped here from chewy.com, that would be very helpful as well, but do to their meds, it has to be a certain type (will enclose pictures)
Pm me for shipping address.
