Five-month-old Boston Terrier Walker is on his way to his forever home after he was found abandoned and needing emergency surgery.

March 17, 2020

Sweet Molly Malone matching grant announcement
Dog rescue receives fundraising help for emergency medical bills

The luck of the Irish has come to 10th Life Surgical Center dba A Doggie 4 You, a nonprofit 501 c3 dog rescue in Pipe Creek. On March 17, St. Patrick’s Day, the rescue will begin an exciting matching grant. The Sweet Molly Malone Matching Grant, funded through the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country, and offered by an anonymous donor is helping the rescue raise much needed medical funds.
On average, the rescue’s vet bills run over $46,000 each year. A Doggie 4 You pulls great dogs needing emergency treatment for injuries or illnesses from local kill facilities. It also helps puppies like Walker, a 5-month-old Boston terrier, dumped in a rural area with a prolapsed anus and no food. Neighbors saw him looking for help for over a week before the rescue was called. The required emergency surgery cost the nonprofit $2,500. Luckily Walker is recovered enough and going to his new home on St Patrick’s Day. This was just another unexpected expense the rescue had not planned on.
A Doggie 4 You has 90 days beginning Tuesday, March 17, to raise $10,000 from donors in the local community, its Facebook followers, volunteers, family and friends. Once the goal is met the donor will match it dollar for dollar with another $10,000 for a total of $20,000.
Donations can be made in several different ways.
