Last spring, 44 animals arrived at Animal Humane Society in dire need of emergency medical care and behavioral help. The animals came to AHS as part of an active humane investigations case.

We knew their journey had the potential to be heartbreaking, but our expert veterinarians rushed to provide treatment, and AHS staff and foster volunteers made a promise to love and support them through it all.

One 3-month-old pug, now named Daisy, required emergency surgery to remove both of her eyes due to an infection that had gone untreated. Daisy will be blind for the rest of her life, but she’s finally free of constant pain and discomfort.

The power of your support

Thanks to the support of our animal-loving community, our veterinary and behavior experts were able to provide the animals with the care they needed to overcome their trauma and heal from neglect. Fortunately, what we thought could be a journey filled with heartbreak and sadness became a lesson in resilience and hope. And Daisy's transformation in particular embodies that resiliency and shows the true impact of donors' support.
