Please donate to our Veterinary Care Donation. We have 1100 animals come through our doors each year and operate on a $3000 vet care budget.
With this being said some animals need more medical care than others. Please help us give these animals a fighting chance!
Here are some of their stories:
Bibi arrived at CCHS in April 07. She was rescued from another shelter because they were too full! It was discovered shortly after her arrival that she was heartworm positive. She received treatment for the heartworms. Treatment was going well, but she began to lose weight and became very thin. Bibi was taken back to the vet and he did a blood draw so he could test her blood to see if he could find out what was wrong with her. It was discovered that her liver levels were abnormal. The animal services scrambled to raise funds for our Veterinary Care Fund so Bibi could have surgery to have a biopsy done. She was scheduled for the surgery for the biopsy. She was nervous about having surgery but pulled through just fine. She has a very large scar to prove it! The results came back and there was damage to her liver. Our vet prescribed some special medication to help the liver. She was also put on some natural remedies with the supervision of her vet. At the end of October, Bibi had her last blood draw done and all her liver levels came back normal! YES NORMAL! She is so excited and grateful that she was given the chance at a new life by the wonderful Columbia County Humane Society. We must tell you a little about Bibi. She is a very cute dog in personality and looks. The staff thinks she may have suffered some abuse in my old home. Bibi sinks to the floor if you raise your voice or have something in your hand. Bibi can't tell you what may have happened to her, but she can try to tell her story through her body language. Bibi just wants someone to cuddle with. It has also been discovered that she also loves belly rubs!
Bibi has been adopted and is living comfortably in her new forever home. Please check out her friends who are still awaiting forever homes.
Hi, my name is Godiva. The shelter director at CCHS rescued me from another shelter where my fate was uncertain. After coming to CCHS, they discovered I was heartworm positive. Oh no, somebody did not take care of me and give me monthly heartworm preventive pills. The staff also discovered I had a mammary tumor. I should tell you a little about myself. I am a perfect dog! I love everyone! I am also very sweet. The staff and volunteers have just fallen in love with my personality. Who couldn't? Anyway, I had the tumor bioposied recently, thanks to the Bibi Fund, and the results came back benign. Yeah! I can now start heartworm treatment and then I can go to a forever home.
Thanks to the generous people who donated to the Bibi Fund! You gave me a second chance in life!!!!
Love,
Godiva
LUCKY
Lucky is a very Lucky dog! His foster mom soon realized after she took him home that he had a lump on his rear leg. His Vet recommended it be removed and biopsied. Thanks to the Bibi Fund we have money to give extra care like this that will improve his quality of life. We are grateful that Lucky's foster mom noticed the lump as it was cancerous and has now been removed. Lucky's Vet believes he has removed everything and his future is great! Thank you very much Bibi Fund!
