Ladybug's Arrival (Updated)
Update as of June 30th:
Donations to date: $828 (we're almost there!)
Goal: $1000
Thank you for your kind donations.
Ladybug is like a new dog after her surgery.
I joke that she is my seeing-eye dog as she hobbles around my place.
Here is a photo gallery of Ladybug. She no longer has the E-collar as her head is healed.

Original Ladybug Post:
Here is Ladybug.
I bailed her from the Harbor Shelter.
She only has one eye and her jaw is slightly crooked jaw due to trauma early in life.
I took her to the Vet two days after I rescued her and they had to do emergency surgery to remove bladder stones. In fact, her bladder was completely full of stones. It's a miracle that she survived with how awful her condition was.
Despite her "flaws", she is such an awesome dog. At 10 years old, she bounces around like a little puppy.
Ladybug's Veterinary Bills surpassed $1000.00 (after a generous rescue discount from the clinic)
I am desperately seeking donations to pay off the balance on my credit card due to her surgery.

You can also call Overland Veterinary Clinic to verify that I'm a real person with real dogs and real bills. 310-559-2424 (Last name on the file is "Cohen")
These are just some of the stones that were taken from Ladybug's bladder:
Please Donate To Ladybug's Surgery Fund. The balance is on my Mastercard because Overland Veterinary Clinic doesn't have a payment plan (however they are my absolute favorite veterinary facility).
Donations can be made via PayPal by clicking below. I will delete the PayPal link once the goal of $1,000 has been reached. Your payments are secure.
By contributing even a small amount, you are helping Ladybug and you are helping my goal of saving as many abandoned animals as possible.



Poor baby girl. Thank you so much for loving and helping her out. I will be helping as I am able. I'm waiting on a check now and then should have some extra $'s I can spare from bills.

Jon, I'll be donating after pay day. Is there any way you can put a counter on the site? I think it might motivate people to donate as they see you near your goal.

Poor thing, little Ladybug! Jon, you are a saint for helping these dogs. Rob and I (and Sally of course) are always commenting on how lucky we are to have Sugar in our lives!
I will give what I can when I get paid this week, promise!

Thank you for all you do for these animals. My dog Rocky (8) was rescued from Harbor shelter on his last day in August 2005. He is a seizure dog. He is the most awsome dog and looks so much like Ladybug it's unbelievable I wonder if they might be related! You can see him at www.dogster.com/?315487. Again, thanks for caring so much for these helpless dogs in need!
