LESTER – A1052064
Gone 9-24-2015 Manhattan
**GONE 09/24/15** VERY PREGNANT and in DIRE NEED OF A NEW HOPE RESCUE! This pretty girl is LESTER, thought to be about 2 years old and also thought not to see well. Those factors have played out as a NEW HOPE rating, which means that anyone who wants to FOSTER or ADOPT Lester will need to work with a New Hope rescue group in order to save her life. LESTER needs some surgery for her eye so PLEDGES are very important for her (in addition to a FOSTER or ADOPTER). Please help this girl however you can—pledge toward her care, share her far and wide, and if you can FOSTER or ADOPT? Please reach out to our help desk at [email protected] and our volunteers will guide you through the process. SAVE LESTER TONIGHT!
