Funding For Towey Vet Bills
Donation protected
On Monday, April 2nd, Towy was attacked in our Bethel Heights neighborhood by a stray pibull. Despite our numerous calls to the city regarding the issue of the stray animal, they refused to pick him up because he "wasn't vicious and had not attacked". Towy was taken to the emergency vet, and there was damage to his neck, two fractured ribs, and his leg was severely broken. They kept him overnight to splint his leg and put staples in his neck, then he was transferred to his regular vet on Tuesday morning. Currently, Towy's owner is out well over $1,000 in vet bills, and they will continue to build as Towy receives treatment for his injuries. Members of our neighborhood have called the Bethel Heights mayor's office to no avail. Essentially, we were told that it isn't their problem, nor do they have intentions of correcting the situation moving forward. The pitbull was taken to the animal shelter and checked for a chip, which he unfortunately did not have one, so charges cannot be pressed against the original owners in hopes to recouperate some of the vet fees. We are trying to come together as neighbors to the owner and raise money to cover the costs for her. Anything you can give would be greatly appreciated!
