Let's have a HAPPY story for Friday!!
Natalia Marie had TPLO surgery ❤🐾🎉🎉🎉

She is a Basset and Terrier mix. Her owner Josh is recovering from a hard life, starting as an orphan and ending up homeless for many years. Now he is getting his life together, is housed and everyday is getting better.

It is the same for Natalia now too! Josh got her back in 2014, when he was living on the streets of Fresno. And he and Natalia have stuck together since. When she injured her knee, Natalia ended up having to go everywhere in a stroller it was so bad. And now it is fixed!

Thanks to a number of organizations coming together, and Josh coordinating all of that, and 19 donors here at FAD: Free Animal Doctor, Natalia had TPLO surgery to repair her knee at the end of August. She has been recovering at home for over a week, and everyday gets a little better!!

Natalia is a senior pup, so recovery takes a little longer, but Josh tells us that everyday she is a little better. Pretty soon she will be walking happily again, and not too long after that running too! In the photos below you can see her new cone Josh got her for her recovery, that picture was testing it out the day before surgery. Then her post surgery photo at the vet, and finally recovering on the couch back home! Plus a video!

Thank you for following FAD: Free Animal Doctor, sharing and (when you can) donating! Together all of us are making the world a little bit better for all the animals in need out there.

"Just as God is merciful, so should you be merciful… In doing so, one partakes of the divine activity of healing the world."

A necrotic boil on her belly has to be removed ASAP!!

The dead (necrotic) tissue can start to spread almost like a cancer, and something simple can become deadly and unstoppable. But we can stop it now! Give her a click:

She was born deaf, now going blind❤🐾

Chiquis is an 8 year old Maltese with suddenly developed cataracts.

We do not take on all cataract cases, because many dogs can do fine near-blind, and the procedure is expensive. But Chiquis is not doing well, and already being deaf it is a severe handicap for her!

Also, her owner Lorena has been a dedicated owner over the years and is able to pay for a substantial portion of the cataract surgery, it is just that the total is beyond her means. Help Chiquis see, make a donation today:
