Lucy and her temporary foster dad, Bill, took a little trip out to Central Florida where some Summer Camp kids put together a walk-a-thon. Laps for Lucy was a huge success and the kids were able to raise more than $200 to help pay for Lucy's eye surgery. Lucy has what's called eyelid entropion, which makes her eyelid roll in and irritate her eyes. Entropion can be very painful if not treated, so we're doing everything we can to get Lucy's surgery scheduled quickly. You can read more about the condition here.
We are extremely fortunate to have met such wonderful kids who care so much and got so excited to help out! Someone once said that it will be our kids who end the cycle of pet neglect and abuse, and it's very encouraging to see such young volunteers!
We are still raising money to cover the balance of Lucy's surgery so please donate and share her fundraiser with your family and friends. Also, Lucy will need a more permanent foster home so we can start her heartworm treatment and get her ready to find a forever family. If you're interested in fostering or adopting please fill out an application.
SCBR is grateful for all of our supporters, but especially for the young ones!
