UPDATE: Generous donors have covered the cost of Malin's surgery and medical expenses!!!

Donations are still being accepted for future emercency vet services.

This is Malin (English), meaning "warrior" or "strong, little warrior"

This baby was thrown out of a car and has two broken back legs. She also has two rib fractures that will heal with time. She will need to have surgery on both back legs.

This little one is only 2 months old. We would love to help her heal and then find her the best home where all she will know is love. This little lady has had a lot of trauma in short time here but she deserves a chance and love.
