Big Day of Giving starts NOW and you have 24 hours to give where your heart is...we hope you’ll share some love with us!
Your support on Big Day allows us to save dogs like Ambra, a sweet two-year-old we welcomed early this year. She arrived at UC Davis Veterinary Team’s annual Covelo Clinic for euthanasia with multiple infected wounds, an injured hip, and a fractured leg after suffering five days without medical care following a car accident. With her gentle nature, she quickly captured the hearts of the volunteer veterinary team, who decided to bring her back to the UC Davis Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital (UCDVMTH) to qualify for the Fracture Program for shelter and rescue animals. 🏥
Following initial surgery to repair her hip and clean/suture her wounds, Ambra was placed in foster care to heal for eight weeks under crate confinement. During her third weekly bandage change, she was readmitted for a second surgery to repair her fractured leg, as splinting was not enough to heal it. Fortunately, her infected wounds and surgical sites have healed - she is now bearing weight on her limbs, impressing her surgical team with her progress just two weeks post-surgery! At home, she wears a soft cone to keep her bandage in place and enjoys snuggles during her crate breaks. We are delighted to be part of her recovery journey toward health and finding a forever home. Ambra is expected to be cleared for full activity in five more weeks, after which she will be spayed and have her hernia repaired. ❤️🩹
As 2026 continues to see shelters fill with shepherds like Ambra, our goal is to raise 7K by 11:59 tonight...can you help us get there? Donate NOW! 🎁
