Niko
Niko was found fending for himself on the streets at just eight months old, after likely getting hit by a car. Our veterinary team determined that Niko's leg bones had fused abnormally, so we arranged for a consultation with an orthopedic specialist. Niko was then fitted with a hind limb assist cart to improve his mobility, so he could play just like the other puppies, and now receives ongoing physical therapy. Sponsor Niko, and ensure he will get help for as long as he needs it, even if it's for the rest of his life.
Lincoln
Three months after Lincoln entered this world in one of our foster homes, he came down with some very concerning symptoms: persistent diarrhea, lethargy, strained mobility, and pain. He was transferred to our Port Washington campus with a vitamin D deficiency diagnosis. Here, our vets found he also had hypocalcemia — low calcium levels — and recurring bowel issues due to a narrow pelvis. Lincoln has improved greatly with constant care, but he'll need to be on medication for the rest of his life. Your monthly gift now ensures he'll always get it.
Clifford
Clifford came to us from Turks and Caicos as a young stray dog. His hip and front paw had been badly injured from being hit by a car. We couldn't save his leg, but we weren't going to give up on saving him. Having been homeless at such a young age, adapting to a new environment was especially difficult for Clifford, but our pet behaviorists worked with him on socialization so that he could finally feel safe around other dogs. While still in our care, he was also diagnosed with spinal disc disease. We'll continue to support both his medical and emotional needs for as long as it takes. Will you help too?
Cricket
At half the size of his siblings, Cricket was the tiniest of a litter of three when he was surrendered to North Shore Animal League America. Bloodwork revealed he had hypothyroidism, a condition rarely seen in cats, which can stunt nervous and skeletal development, cause mental dullness and even death when gone untreated. But with a daily dose of a synthetic thyroid hormone, many of his symptoms can be reversed. Cricket requires this medication for the rest of his life, and your monthly gift guarantees he will always receive it.
