STORMY – A1030780
3-30-2015
This is what it looks like, when surrendering your pet to the ACC is your Hail Mary pass: it looks like Stormy, who is featured on tonight’s euth list. Stormy was brought to the shelter by former owners who had just spent money on the health issues of another animal in the home, and there was nothing left to spend on Stormy when she began having urinary difficulties. The ACC “cures” everything with a lethal injection so that isn’t going to be a good solution. Please pledge toward her care and share her story far and wide tonight! It would be ridiculous for Stormy to be killed tomorrow, but that’s the way her story will play out unless someone come up with a better plan, right now.
