A SPECIAL LOCAL NEEDS HELP FOR A RESCUED LAB

Jake, a wonderful yellow lab, was found in the Packwood area the weekend of December 9. He was injured and starving (literally skin and bones). A lost and found ad was placed but no one claimed the dog. Geri Gibson's family rescued Jake and took him to a veterinarian for exam and vaccination. Jake is approximately two years old and has a severe knee injury requiring expensive surgery.












We have contacted WSU's veterinary program and Jake's injury does not qualify for their Good Samaritan Fund. The estimated cost at WSU is $2000.00 as compared to $2700.00 quoted by a private veterinary practice.

This dog has an amazing personality that wins the hearts of all, including non-dog lovers. Without the surgery he will be in pain and crippled for life. He is currently living with Marcia Halstead and has won her heart as well.

Marcia contacted a nonprofit organization for animals, Kindred Souls Foundation, for support. We are using their $10.00 cookbooks as a fund raiser for Jake; 100% of the proceeds go to Jake's medical costs. Also, it is possible to make a donation to Jake through Kindred Souls which is tax deductible. Again, any contribution made goes directly to Jake's medical costs.

Will you consider helping Jake? You can purchase a cookbook or make a donation through Geri or Marcia.

Thank you!
