You Gotta Have Faith

At most any other animal control center, Faith would have had virtually no chance of survival. She is a bit older and nearly totally blind.

At most any other animal control center, Faith would have had virtually no chance of survival. She is a bit older and nearly totally blind. As a result, if someone tries to pick her up, she can get a little startled, because she cannot see them coming. Because of this, she has nipped in the past. Thankfully for Faith, the animal control center she ended up in was in Saint Paul, where the friendly people had faith that in the the right hands, she could make a wonderful dog. They asked Animal Ark if we had room, and, sure enough, she is staying in foster care. We have found her to be a very easy-going, mellow and kind dog who loved belly rubs and sitting on laps. And, recently, we also discovered there is a good chance that we can help her to see. And eye specialist confirmed that she is an excellent candiate for cataract surgery in both eyes.

Unfortunately, the total cost for both surgeries is around $2,600. Animal Ark is committed to raising the money. You can help by sponsoring Faith any by telling your family and friends about her.

Faith is in good hands at the Animal Ark. As the state's largest no-kill animal shelter, they face increased costs in caring for homeless animals. Currently, the shelter is expanding to serve more animals. This in conjunction with their high volume spay and neuter of feral cats, is financially taxing on the organization . I encourage everyone to donate some amount to finance Faith's eye surgery. Let's be the helping hand for a very special dog and an exceptional organization.
