DCH Animal Adoptions
Nothing pulled at my heart stings more than Olive, the Chihuahua. Here was this beautiful girl, with massive growths on her stomach and under carriage so large that she could not walk, the size of these growths were mammoth, writing these words today still make me tear up.
She when to DCH Animal Adoptions and had to commence gruelling and life threatening surgeries that would allow Olive to live a normal life, and the surgeries were very expensive.
I saw Olive and through Nepean Regional Security we were able to fund the surgeries, donating very much needed funds for the vets to commence the life saving surgery.
