I want to donate : Lexus Fund
The Lexus Fund allows the Seattle Humane Society to provide dogs with the extra medical care they need to be healthy, happy and adoptable. The Lexus Fund was started by Jim and Bet Schuler, who pledged $130,000 to the fund at Tuxes & Tails 2008. The fund is named in memory of their dog, Lexus. See a special Lexus Fund video here.
There are hundreds of caring dogs who are killed in other shelters or who come to us needing just a little more medical attention than many shelters can provide. These are good and loving dogs who would make excellent pets, yet they are suffering from common injuries such a broken leg, an infected cut or a bite wound from another animal. For a few hundred dollars of medical attention each, we will be able to rescue and treat these dogs and make them available for adoption.
Tucker was slated for death at a municipal shelter because of a cancerous-looking growth on his throat. Our staff brought him to the Seattle Humane Society, where our veterinarians determined the growth was not cancerous, but was a damaged salivary gland that needed to be surgically removed. Tucker recovered quickly from the surgery, and now he is in a home of his own.
And dogs like Rosie, who was hit by a car. Her leg was treated by our veterinary staff, and this girl always lived up to her name with her rosy disposition. She is now enjoying life, fully recovered, as the center of attention with her new family.
We hope you'll help us create MANY more happy-ending stories by donating to the Lexus Fund. Donations to the Lexus Fund can be made on our Donate Now page.
NOTE: The Lexus Fund is for extra medical care for dogs. We would love to find that special cat lover to help us start a similar fund for cats.
