Spring Shelter Medicine Cases 2015
Foxy
Foxy was found by a Good Samaritan roaming out in English Hills matted, hungry, frightened and completely non visual because of severe matting from foxtails in the eyes. At first we weren't even sure if her eyes could be saved. These are the type of cases that the Krinkls Fund is made for. Consider donating and help these guys get forever homes.
