<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The baby basset hit by a car has a collapsed lung,
dislocated shoulder and broken elbow. Surgery to fix (plus her current
bill) will run $2K. We do not have the funds to cover this and no way to
raise it in any kind of timely fashion. Short of euthanizing her for lack
of money--which I would hate--I don't know what to do. We did have
two donations made yesterday, and while we are sooooo very grateful for this
monetary help, it is literally a drop in the bucket in this case.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If anyone has any "get rich quick" ideas, or if
there is another rescue willing to take this baby (she's a year or so old),
please let me know. Please cross-post this to others. We can request
funding from Odie's Fund to pay her bills, but only as a reimbursement and this
vet wants to be paid when services are rendered. </FONT></DIV>
