Grab your tissues, this story will melt your heart! Kelly and Wences recently stopped by the shelter to make a large donation in memory of their late dog, Angel. The couple took in the sweet senior pup after she was left behind when her previous owners moved away. They quickly noticed Angel had a large mass on her belly that continued to grow. Knowing the pup would likely need surgery, Kelly reached out to the HSVC for financial assistance. We provided her with a $100 Angel Fund Voucher for her first vet appointment. The couple also started a GoFundMe campaign in hopes of getting additional financial support from their community.

However, as her surgery date approached, the vet deemed Angel's condition to be too advanced and she crossed the Rainbow Bridge shortly after. "We were heartbroken, we had so much hope for our sweet girl. We gave her the best last day filled with pupcups, sausage patties, and sunshine in the park," said Kelly. 

Wences and Kelly decided to use the money from their GoFundMe campaign to provide some holiday cheer for their local Humane Society. They purchased food, toys, treats, new crates, and more for our shelter animals and donated them in memory of Angel. It was a generous and beautiful way to honor all the joy Angel brought to their lives. From the entire staff and animals of the HSVC, thank you Kelly and Wences, for paying it forward!
