Your donations are helping shelters provide food and care for animals in need, like Scruff. 

The middle-aged terrier mix was found living in a trailer bed in the middle of nowhere covered in matted fur and starving. He searched for scraps of food for weeks before being rescued.

He was taken in by El Reno Animal Shelter who immediately gave him nutritious donated pet food, which he quickly devoured. 

The shelter shared, "Scruff has been loving every bite—his tail wags as he digs into his bowl, and he’s already gained a whole pound in just a few days! This food is exactly what his belly needed to help him recover and thrive."

Scruff was in desperate need of grooming. His matted fur was carefully removed, and the handsome pup is feeling so much better. 

Scruff will never go hungry again and he sends his thanks for your support. 

Once he has regained his strength and returned to a healthy weight, he will be put up for adoption. 

Your donations are making a difference in the lives of shelter pets, and we want to thank you for your continued support.
