Abby Sponsorship - for Heart Surgery






It’s not just cats that have nine lives anymore. We answered an urgent call from the Dearborn Animal Shelter in Indiana about a three-month-old puppy named Abby and her litter mates.


Because Dearborn Animal Shelter could not find a home for these dogs, they asked the Wisconsin Humane Society to help.


When the dogs arrived, it was discovered that they were suffering from Parvo, a virus that is often life threatening. They were immediately treated for the virus and slowly began to recover.


We discovered that one of the dogs, Abby, has a heart murmur, which was caused by a congenital heart defect. Further tests and treatment will need to be provided for Abby and she will need heart surgery in the future.


Open-heart surgery is required to repair Abby's fragile heart and that will be very expensive. Her new family will need to pay thousands of dollars and will need to provide Abby with long-term rehabilitative care.


The Wisconsin Humane Society needs help to ensure that resources are available to save this puppy's life.


We are looking for loving people to sponsor Abby and help with her medical costs while she is in our care. We need funds to maintain her current care. We are also looking for a loving family with the financial means to provide for Abby.

If you are interested in adopting Abby and making sure all of her medical needs are met, please contact WHS at 414-ANIMALS.
