She has been through so much in her short life, and the commitment we’ve made through YOUR contributions make it possible. Unfortunately, she has more medical issues, and we need
We closed the books on 2023, and it was a ROUGH year. Our UNEXPECTED medical expenses in the first quarter for nearly $60,000 hit our reserves badly. For comparison purposes, our medical expenses for the first AND third quarters combined were less than $73,000. Much of that unexpected expense was for Katya and the survivor puppies (as

Most of that was from our medical expenses, which totaled $59,321. (See story about the Survivor Puppies in the previous blog for more information.) Boarding (because we don’t have enough fosters) was $10,405. We incurred dog
