PRINCESS – A1034915
5-7-2015 Manhattan Rescue: ***SAFE*** Pulled by Staten Island Hope- Donation website: http://www.statenislandhoperescue.org/ Please honor your pledges:
**SAFE 05/07/15** AVERAGE-rated PRINCESS was surrendered to the ACC by a former owner who could no longer afford her veterinary care. This spayed sweetie is reported as having crystals in her urine, and she has also been found to have an ulcer in her mouth. Between not feeling her best and the horror of being in the ACC, it’s no wonder that Princess is not eating. The shelter plans to “cure” her with the lethal injection they use as a panacea, tomorrow, unless a foster/adopter saves her life tonight!
