Benld Adopt-A-Pet is still asking for donations for Kevin . . . 05/19/2023

Hi! My name is Kevin! I have been at the shelter since October but you haven't heard of me because I’ve been having an unusual series of medical procedures to get healthy. When I came to Benld Adopt-A-Pet, I was very skinny and hungry. I had skin infections, infected ears packed with painful polyps, a severe case of heartworms, and was urinating blood due to an enlarged prostate. I was neutered right away and it was a pretty rough recovery time. Then I was treated for my heart worms. And I gained 15lbs! Now I have surgery next week at Veterinary Specialty Services (Manchester, MO) where the doctors will fix both my ears. The estimate for my surgery is $4500 (CT scan of head and chest, and a total ear canal ablation and bulla osteotomy of both ears). Then after my recovery I will have another visit and the doctors will dock my damaged tail. It has been a crazy ride! But with luck, and a lot of healing and support, I will soon be ready to find my forever home. If you could make a donation to help me on this final leg of my bumpy road to a forever home, me and my buddies at the shelter, would truly appreciate it.
