Lily - The Victim of a Congenital Defect

Lily If you look at her picture, it is undeniable that she is just the cutest little “peanut” that you one could ever see. On the surface she seems to be just a “happy go lucky” Yellow Lab Puppy. But, she has come up against something that she had no choice in. She was brought to us after only living 10 wks of her life. She suffers from a congenital defect called “Bilateral Ectopic Ureters”. Ectopic Ureters is a defect that causes the ureters to empty urine into another location, other than the bladder, most commonly in the vagina, urethra or uterus. Even more tragic is that our little girl has the Bilateral version of the defect which occurs in only 25% of all cases detected. In her case both ureters are not bringing the urine to the bladder. If it were not corrected immediately she could have suffered multiple organ failures particularly kidney failure and we would loose this little Angel before she could know how great life can be. We could not let that happen. We immediately scheduled her very complicated surgery so as to give her a chance for a normal life. Read more and please consider making a donation to help Lily.....
Makeover Gauge 10,000 Tails Makeover!

Second Chance Animal Shelter is on a mission - to make lives better. Because Second Chance is doing so much in the community, they have simply run out of room in their shelter and are in need of a makeover. Second Chance was a finalist in the national zootoo.com makeover and finished a remarkable 13th. However, we did not win the prize of a makeover. So, now we are on a mission - the 10,000 tails makeover. Since our inception in 1999, we estimate that we have helped 10,000 pets have better lives. We now help nearly 3,000 a year through adoption, spay/neuter, and other programs. We need more room to greatly increase what we do - and you can help. Every pet that comes into the shelter has a tale to tell and a tail that needs to wag, a face to lick or a purr to sound. We need you! Please consider helping us to make a difference by joining in our 10,000 tails makeover. Construction is anticipated to begin in the Fall of 2009!
