Update: Thanks to your generosity, Lilo received the medical treatment she needed. She spent weeks recovering at a foster home. The shelter shared that she has made a full recovery and found a forever home.

She is now living her best life and sends her thanks for your support. Read her full story below.

Meet Lilo.

This sweet seven-year-old Shih Tzu was picked up as a stray in Milwaukee. She immediately warmed up to her caretakers and continues to cuddle with everyone she meets. 

She was schedule to be transferred to a partner shelter, Washington County Humane Society, to increase her chances of finding a forever home. However, upon arrival she was lethargic, wobbly, and her body temperature was quickly dropping. 

Staff rushed her to an emergency vet. 

The medical team discovered a tear in Lilo's bladder that is allowing urine to collect in her abdomen. She was immediately started on IV medication and catheters were placed to remove the urine. 

They were not sure if Lilo was going to make it, but she has pulled through.

She is still being monitored and needs your help to continue to heal. 

Greater Good Charities' Emergency Animal Medical fund helps save the lives of sick and injured shelter pets, with your continued support. These homeless animals are given the emergency medical care they need to heal and go on to find loving homes. 

Animal shelters do their best to feed and care for all the homeless dogs and cats but need our help - especially for animals requiring ongoing medical care.
