The Rico Fund
We at Fur-Ever Friends of North Carolina are happy to introduce to you some of the wonderful animals who have been recipients of Rico Fund Donations in their, and their families, time of need. Your thoughtful giving and attendance of our events helps to make this possible.
Meet Precious, a beautiful Great Dane, Mastiff mix who is now singing with praise and gratitude to the disabled couple who rescued her on the side of interstate 40 in Winston-Salem, NC when she so weak, she could barely lift her head to watch the traffic pass her by.
A 5 to 6 year old female, she weighed 88.8 pounds when found. Literally, skin over bones. She was cold, wet, hungry, homeless and starving to death, but her gentle, loving nature gave her the hope and strength that somebody, somewhere would love her.
Today, Precious is a happy and healthy 106 lbs who likes nothing more then snuggling with her loving new family.
Meet Adora. Adore was adopted from the Stokes County Animal Shelter 2 years ago. Recently she became ill with an infection with bleeding and require emergency vet care, surgery and medications. With the help of Fur-Ever Friends Adora made it through the surgery and has recovered just fine.
Meet One Eye. One Eye was a stray who had numerous puncture wounds along with an eye injury when he was found. Thankfully, the family who found him cared. Now neutered, vaccinated and treated for his injuries he is doing well and grateful to all!
What a great organization, what would have happened to One Eye and/or Adora if no one cared.
With all the horror stories about people dumping their pets in the bad economy, it’s wonderful to hear of a group helping responsible pet owners who might have fallen on hard times. Keep up the good work!
