You may have heard that Giving Tuesday is coming up on December 3. It’s a global day of generosity that helps us care for the special cases that come through our door, like little Winifred who came to us at less than two months old.??? ? Winifred needed food, vaccines and medical attention when she first arrived at Operation Kindness, but soon went to one of our dedicated foster homes to continue to receive care in a quiet, loving home where she can grow and play.??? ? We’ve set an ambitious goal to raise $75,000 this Giving Tuesday to ensure the animals have everything they need. Your gift makes this possible! We can’t thank you enough.??

At only 2-months-old, Honey is a survivor. ?? After testing positive for parvo, Honey was transferred from Dallas Animal Services to Operation Kindness to receive specialized care for this highly contagious and deadly virus. Our 9,200 square foot Rees-Jones Foundation Medical Wing is outfitted with a parvo unit where Honey received the highest level of care from our veterinary team. Honey received IV fluids, medications to keep her comfortable and plenty of nutritious meals. Once stable, she was transferred to a foster home where she could grow until ready for adoption. Access to this type of transformative medical care saves lives and is only possible because supporters like you choose to give. With our Giving Tuesday campaign underway, now is the perfect time to give and help continue this lifesaving work. Thank you for making your lifesaving gift down below. Animals like Honey are so grateful! GIVE HERE: https://lnkd.in/g7dJCZCx
