Help Me Heal Fund
Urgent Cases!
Meet the two newest beneficiaries of PAWS Atlanta's Help Me Heal Fund. This fund exists for the purpose of designating financial resources to care for our dogs and cats who need additional, more expensive medical care so that they can be restored to health and adopted into their forever homes.

Meet Bear.
Bear is a 4 ½ year old Great Pyrenees who came to PAWS Atlanta in July 2009 underweight, with severe ear infections in both ears and heartworm positive. Although Bear has gained 35 pounds and is now heartworm negative, Bear’s ear infections remain resistant to treatment. We have cultured his ears and a range of medications has been utilized, but he has never fully recovered. Poor Bear has ulcerations in his ear canals and both of his ear drums have ruptured. Chronic ear infections can be a symptom of allergies. We would like to send Bear to veterinary specialists so that he can be tested and treated, for good!
Our goal is to get Bear healthy, adoptable, and into a loving forever home as soon as possible. To do so, we need your financial help so that Bear can get the specialized medical treatment that he needs.

Meet Itsy.
Itsy is a 4 year old poodle who was abandoned at the shelter several weeks ago. She was emaciated and hypothermic. The vet staff wrapped her in blankets and administered saline to stabilize her. Since then, Itsy has doubled her body weight and she now weighs 6.2 pounds! She is tiny, but her personality is big enough to fill an entire room. Unfortunately, Itsy's blood work showed that she likely has Cushings Syndrome, a treatable condition that results in a chronic excess of blood cortisol. The syndrome has several causes, and further testing, including an ultrasound is being administered to determine the root cause of Itsy's condition and proper treatment. The testing and treatment is expensive but necessary for Itsy to live a healthy life and find her forever home.
Please help Itsy by donating to the Help Me Heal Fund.
