Meet Sam

He was found near death on the war-torn streets of Ukraine suffering from multiple bite wounds infested with maggots. 

Sam was rushed to a local clinic where they treated his wounds and started him on antibiotics and pain medication. He is in critical condition and fighting for his life.

The poor dog has endured unimaginable pain and suffering and needs our support to survive. He is extremely malnourished and unable to fight off infection on his own.

Greater Good Charities' Emergency Animal Medical fund is helping with his medical bills. The fund helps save animals in need of emergency care worldwide, thanks to your continued support. 

Sam will need months of care and treatment that will involve cleaning the necrotic tissues, sutures, draining wounds, and many nutritious meals.

Even with all the pain the estimated six-year-old dog has been through, he remains a kind and gentle dog. Join us in saving Sam so he can experience unconditional love and eventually find a home. 

You can help Sam get the treatment he needs to heal. Your gift will not only give him the hope to keep fighting, but your donations will help cover his ongoing care.

Help us meet our goal of $4,000 for Sam and pets like him.
