Mighty Mite Emergency Fund
The Mighty Mite Emergency Fund was developed in memory
of Mighty Mite, the AWP Mascot who inspired the creation of the Animal
Welfare Project.
Any donations dedicated specifically towards this fund will be earmarked
for animals who arrive needing emergency care and support.
We are grateful to have had these funds available,
or these animals would have had much different outcomes.
How your donations have changed lives...
This
fund helped us assist Sammy, a Beagle who was about to be euthanized
because of hyperactivity and his reactive behavior. Instead of that
ending, AWP was able to provide good quality care and training,
which gave Sammy a new lease on life!
Humane
treatment was also provided to Baby, a starving Rottweiler found
wandering in a Park. We were able to provide Baby with medical care
and support, then allow him to pass away in our arms when his cancer
took over. Special thanks goes out to Metropolitan Vet Associates
and Emergency Services.

CONSHOHOCKEN HORSES: A RECENT RESCUE EFFORT
A call came to assist Whitemarsh Township Zoning and their Police
Department, regarding 2 horses in Conshohocken, PA. The horses were
being housed on rented property under PECO power lines. They were
undernourished and lacking proper feed and water. They were also fighting
serious "Code Blue" winter weather. The experts from AWP
quickly reviewed the horses' situation.
Immediately, the horses were provided with emergency blankets and
storm sheets, to help retain their body heat. Within 24 hours their
shelter was expanded and they laid down in fresh bedding for the first
time. Proper manure removal was implemented. Hay and grain were improved,
and the owners were taught the importance of warm water drinking.
Basic skill lessons in horse ownership began to take place, as this
family had nearly nothing to care for these 2 animals. Within 30 days,
the animals' body weight was almost normal.
It remains to be seen if the family can step up and keep a continued
and vigilant eye. If not, the horses will be sent to a rescue organization.
But if they continue to improve and do well, their Spring will be
sweet indeed. |
