AVA NEEDS HELP!!!!




Although I couldn't seem to feed her enough, Ava has been slowly losing weight over the last few weeks.  Her symptoms weren't anything to be overly concerned about, actually she had no symptoms except for the weight loss.  We ran a GI panel to rule out liver or kidney disease - NOTHING, we ran a senior blood panel to rule out anything else abnormal - NOTHING, we did fecal tests - NOTHING, X- rays - NOTHING but when she started throwing up everything she ate on Monday I decided to do an ultra sound and there it was - a liniar obstruction in her intestines!!  There was no question she had to have surgery and FAST.  Ava is a very lucky girl, most often intestinal obstructions will kill a dog within a few days.  Even my vet was amazed that she wasn't presenting the symptoms of a dog who had an intestinal obstruction and was still alive.  She is very critical and we won't know for 7 - 10 days if she is going to even make it but I know Ava is a much loved, strong, willful, happy girl so she will fight and I will be there everyday cheering her on to keep fighting!!  My vet is hopeful, he says there is a 75% chance she will make it. 
 
Life is unpredictable which I have grown accustomed to handling but as a rescue, I am never financially prepared for something as unexpected as emergency surgery.  Ava will be hospitalized until at least Monday, the total cost is enough to give me an intestinal obstruction ($3000 - $4000)!!
 
I don't often go outside my regular network of supporter's for donations but for this I have no choice.  I need help, Ava needs help!  Please consider making a donation toward's Ava's medical care.  Anything at all, accumulative it all helps.  You may donate one of four ways
 
1.  direct to pay pal using this email address (please send as a "GIFT" so no fees are taken out
 
2. directly through our web site - www.muttmatchla.org 
 
3. check made out and sent to:
 
Mutt Match L.A.
27305 W. Live Oak Rd., #211
Castaic, Ca. 91384
 
 
Of course donations are tax deductible.  I would also LOVE to find a foster even if it's temporary while Ava recovers, some place peaceful and loving.  I am happy to have her back home with me but she would probably rest more peacefully some place where there aren't so many dogs.  Ava is good with other friendly dogs, not sure about cats and as a Boxer LOVES her humans. 
 
Thank you in advance for helping me help sweet Ava!
 
Kind regards,

Not only is Grace an amazing dog, her life mirrors the cherished song. After six years of suffering in a backyard of Los Angeles, Grace was finally delivered into the loving arms of an independent rescuer. But what she really needs is a permanent, loving home at the end of this long journey. 

When she arrived, her fresh scars and hacked ears told just how many dangers and snares she had toiled through, not to mention how many litters she had to deliver. It’s likely that she’s never felt love before - a true tragedy for a dog whose breed was created literally to be man’s best friend. 

To help her overcome her trauma, Grace has been in boarding with a trainer for about a year now and is more than ready to find her forever home. Today she is very playful and loves her stuffed toys and tennis balls. She loves to sun bathe and is very affectionate with people. She is OK with other dogs, but best to do an introduction first as she can be picky about her companions. 

If you’re ready to hold Grace in your loving arms, please contact Merrill Flam at (323) 666-4637 or email her atmerrillflam@yahoo.com.  Please don’t hesitate because of Grace’s muscular body. This girl is a true sweetheart. And Best Friends has plenty of resources to help first-time pit bull terrier families right here. 

But if you can’t adopt Grace right now, please share her flyer and her story with everyone you know. The more eyes that see her, the more likely she is to find the home she deserves. 

Thank you for all that you do for animals of the City of Angels. And for helping Best Friends bring about a time when there are No More Homeless Pets.
