Rita’s Angel Fund

This 1 year-old Pit-bull Pointer mix came to us after the Oklahoma City Animal Welfare reached out to us for assistance. He suffered from a massive crushing, puncture wound to his chest which had become severely infected. Though in extreme pain, he still craved love and affection and just wants to curl up by your feet. We rushed him to the hospital where he underwent emergency surgery to remove the dead tissue, clean and drain the infected wound, and prevent further exposure. Currently, he is suffering from extreme infection, our medical team will monitor him as he progresses and he’ll go into a long-term foster while he heals. A second surgery may be required to remove additional dying and dead tissue, but only time will tell.

When Itsy arrived at the Oklahoma Humane Society, we promised we would do everything we could to make her happy again. This sweet girl had had a rough life; she was rescued from a hoarding situation in Louisiana and then brought to a shelter in the Houston area. Soon after, tragedy struck. Houston was devastated by Hurricane Harvey, which resulted in shelters overflowing pets.  Upon Itsy’s medical evaluation it was discovered that she suffered from serious medical problems. She was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and tested positive for heartworms. But she didn’t give up on us so we weren’t about to give up on her. With time we found the perfect home for Itsy to receive love along with the medical care she desperately needed and deserved.

Gravy, a beautiful mixed breed pup, came to us with gaping wounds on his ears and neck, where his collar had become deeply embedded in his skin as a result of neglect. After hours of veterinary care and kindness from our OK Humane Staff to help him trust humans again, we are excited that Gravy was adopted by the Dickinson family at the Mary Eddy Jones Adoption Center. He is pictured here with his new big brother!
