How adorable is Harvey?!
This cute 7 year old pup started experiencing weakness in his back legs. An exam at San Diego’s Veterinary Speciality Hospital showed that Harvey was suffering from a herniated disc and needed spinal surgery.
“The cost was way beyond what we could afford,” said Harvey’s owner. FACE Life Sponsor Ruggable provided financial assistance to help Harvey get his operation.
He is now on his way to a full recovery at home with his family!
Wishing all of our friends a happy and healthy 2020!
Poor little Snuggles had a rough start in life. His mom Debra found him living on the streets. Snuggles had a mangled leg and his veterinarian suspected that it was due to either a birth defect or a very early injury.
Snuggles needed a limb amputation to prevent infection and improve his overall quality of life. Debra was unable to afford the full cost of the surgery, so she and her vet reached out to FACE for help. We were able to provide them with the needed financial assistance.
“I would like to send a great big thank you to the FACE Foundation for donating towards Snuggles’ surgery. He is doing great after seeing Dr. Morris and Rancho Del Oro Veterinary Hospital for his first follow up visit. Snuggles and I are so grateful.” – Debra

We are celebrating a milestone, our 2,500th life saved!
Meet Charlie, an adorable 5 year old Terrier mix. Recently, Charlie began to show signs of illness. Her family brought her to the vet where she was diagnosed with pyometra, a life-threatening infection of the uterus in unspayed female dogs.
Charlie needed emergency surgery. Her human parents are a senior couple struggling to make ends meet. Charlie’s mom has needed a wheelchair to get around since an accident, and the family credits Charlie with being a key element of her rehabilitation.
“I honestly credit Charlie with saving my wife’s life. Though she is still wheelchair bound, Charlie helped get her through this tough time. Charlie is always by her side,” reports Charlie’s dad.
Thanks to donations from our friends and supporters, Charlie’s vets at VCA Animal Medical Center of El Cajon were able to provide her with the life-saving treatment she needed.
Thank you to all our friends and veterinary partners for making this milestone possible!
