Critical Care Corner: Tiffany
Tiffany suffered a broken pelvis from a hit & run
Tiny Tiffany was hit by a car and left to die in the middle of the road. A good Samaritan stopped and scooped her up and contacted ABC for help. ABC rushed her to the hospital where she was stabilized and given pain medication. X-rays revealed her pelvis was broken in several places on both sides and would require extensive surgery. Despite her intense pain, Tiffany was very sweet and wagged her tail at all her caregivers.
Tiffany’s medical expenses will be costly, however, she has a fighting chance because Eddie the Yorkie, a past Critical Care rescue, was in a similar situation and made a full recovery! Initially we were attempting to raise $7,000 to help cover her pelvis surgery but unfortunately her post op x-rays also show a break in her tibia, which wasn’t discernible in her initial x-rays and will require a second surgery.
Many thanks to Tiffany Construction and their staff for not only rescuing little Tiffany from the road after being hit, but also for their extremely generous donation towards her medical costs. In case you were wondering why her name is Tiffany, now you know! Also a big thank you to Dr. Brian Petrovsky at Arizona Canine Orthopedics and Sports Medicine for taking great care of her.
Any size contribution will help this sweet girl! As always, your donation is tax-deductible. ABC has no paid administrative staff so all the funds go directly to the animal care. Donations via check can be mailed to Animals Benefit Club, 3111 E St John Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85032, please include “Tiffany” in the memo.

Critical Care Corner: Hunter
Hunter Hit by a Car
UPDATE: Unfortunately the impact from Hunter’s accident caused irreparable damage to his eye and it was unable to be saved. He’s adjusting very well despite being a one-eyed, three-legged dog. He loves to go for walks and play in the yard! He is not available to adopt at this time.
Hunter was found staggering along side the road after being hit by a car. He was taken to Maricopa County Animal Care & Control (MCACC) where a plea to help him went out to the local animal rescue network. ABC answered that plea and he was immediately taken for evaluation on his injuries. Despite our best efforts, his leg could not be saved and required amputation. He also has glaucoma in his right eye. Once again we are working with Dr. Reed and her team at Eyeshine Veterinary and we’re hopeful they can save his eye.
Hunter is a 3 year old German Shepherd mix. Despite everything this poor boy has been through, he’s the sweetest, most loving dog you’ll ever meet! We expect he’ll be ready to adopt before the end of November. Once he’s been cleared he’ll be listed on our website.
We need your help to raise $6,000 to offset the cost of Hunter’s surgery and medical care. Any size contribution can make a difference! To make a donation online, simply click the blue “DONATE” button to the right (scroll down if you’re on a mobile device) or mail a check to Animals Benefit Club, 3111 E St John Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85032 and include “Hunter” in your donation description. As always, your donation is tax-deductible. Funds donated beyond our estimate will go towards future Critical Care animals.
