swampy
Hi, my name is Swampy! I was found by a compassionate citizen near the edge of a pond, cold and wet, with a severe injury to my back leg and lower jaw. I was brought to LVC and immediately my loving personality quickly stole the hearts of the emergency care team. I was accepted into the SCF program and received multiple surgeries to repair my injuries. Due to the extensive damage to my leg, amputation was the best treatment option. Although I became a three legged creature, I was back up on my feet quickly and have since found a forever home with a wonderful family.
elsa
Hi, my name is Elsa! I have a sad story with a fairy tale ending! I was found in -40 degree weather on the side of the road - nearly frozen, unresponsive, and terribly ill. A good Samaritan brought me to LVC and the team immediately started life saving measures. I had severe hypothermia, life threatening low blood sugar, and nasty frost bite. My life hung in the balance for the first 24 hours but with intense TLC and The Second Chance Fund, I have made a complete recovery! Now I love nothing more than to curl up on a lap and snuggle!
Griswold
Hi, my name is Griswold! I am a very fun, energetic, six month old Australian Shepherd mix that came to LVC with parvovirus. Parvovirus is a severe gastrointestinal infection that can lead to death. I was at death’s door, but with intense care at LVC, I made a complete recovery! I am now healthy, fully vaccinated, neutered, and enjoying my new life in an active family!
Bill Bowtie
Hi, my name is Bill Bowtie! I am super sweet Bernese puppy that came to LVC at 8 weeks of age due to worsening GI issues. Bloodwork and abdominal imaging showed a life-threatening infection in my abdomen. My owners contributed significantly to my care but ultimately made the difficult decision to surrender me to the Second Chance Fund to give me the best chance at survival. Emergency abdominal surgery showed that I had a large perforation in my intestines. The team at LVC was able to provide the surgery I needed, in addition to plasma transfusions and round the clock care following surgery. Since then I have needed additional surgeries but have turned the corner to become a happy and healthy puppy. I found a new home with a brother who looks just like me and a family who loves me dearly!
Berry
Hello, my name is Berry. I was rescued from a farm with a severe case of cat lice. This type of lice is not contagious to people. Since I am very friendly and responded nicely to her treatment I was able to be adopted much sooner than expected. I have since found a forever home with a family of cats that look just like me!
Ace
Hello, my name is Ace! I'm an 8-year old Pug, and I was brought to Lodi Veterinary Care after being hit by a car that badly injured my knee and hip. After surgery, I underwent extensive physical therapy while living with my foster family. Once I was cleared for adoption, I found my new forever home and got two new best friends!
Prince
Hello, my name is Prince! I'm a 4-year old Pit Bull, and I was hit by a truck driver that didn't even stop to see if I was OK! Luckily, some nice people found me and brought me into the clinic. Even though I was scared and in pain, I never barked, growled, got mad at, or tried to bite the people that were helping me. The staff at Lodi Veterinary Care found my owners through the microchip I had, but they did not want me anymore. Luckily, The Second Chance Fund stepped in to take care of me. They got me the surgery I needed and helped me to find my new home. Now, I have a happy new family where I get lots of love and a few new human siblings!
Sasha
Hello, my name is Sasha. I am a super sweet 4 year old beagle who got hit by a car and severely injured my back leg. While my previous owners were unable to continue my medical care needs so they did the greatest thing they could, and surrendered me to The Second Chance Fund. They knew this way I would get the medical care I desperately needed. Once I was accepted into the program, my medical treatment began right away, starting with a very complex surgery to amputate my right rear leg. I was adopted by a wonderful family which I am now a part of forever!
IDA
Hello, my name is Ida. I was brought to LVC as a 10 month old kitten with a bad fracture in my hip and a abnormal eye. My owners were unable to give me the care I needed and lovingly decided to give me a Second Chance. Through the Second Chance Fund, I was able to have a surgery to remove the broken head of my hip so I could have a pain free joint. My abnormal, non-visual eye was also removed to avoid complications in the future. After my surgeries, I made a wonderful recovery and showed everyone that am a very active, sweet kitty. I was adopted by a family with a little girl who thinks I make the sun rise and set. I couldn't have landed in a better forever home!
