Bear

The lucky black cat...

Bear had been left at Animal Care and Control with a severly broken back, destined to die. Save-A-Pet paid the veterinary bills for Bear and a nurse volunteer gave Bear a foster home. Bear fully recovered and lived 7 happy more years.

In honor of Bear, the lucky black cat, Save-A-Pet started a new tradition. To turn every Friday the 13th into a lucky day for black cats by saving all the black cats and kittens at Animal Care and Control

...a one year old, homeless German Shepard and Golden Retreiver mix was seriously injured by a hit and run driver. A motorist picked up the helpless dog and took him to a local animal hospital. He had a broken back and paralyzed hind legs. Gertrude knew that the dogs best chance to live would be through the highly skilled Veterinary Neurosurgeons at the University of Florida Veterinary Hospital.

Bob and Toby Taylor of Angel Flight South Florida agreed to help Save-A-Pet. Patrick was their first transport of an injured animal. After a successful five hour operation, Patrick was on the road to a full recovery.

Therapy included several massages a day as well as several whirlpool baths...

Patrick was the star of the clinic.

It was certain death for a German Shepherd and her puppies... the dog had given birth to 14 puppies at a construction dump. The shephard was described as a vivious and dangerous, unadoptable and untrainable animal. Efferts to arrange adoption were discouraged.

Gertrude Maxwell was allowed to save the mother and puppies and paid for a series of dog training classes. Gertrude named the dog "Love" and she found her a wonderful family. All the puppies also found good homes.

Love was gentile and obedient and she even became the favorite playmate of the family's kitten.
