PALM CITY, Fla. — At the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast, love isn’t just about finding animals their forever homes — it’s also about helping them heal. Many of the cats, dogs, rabbits and other pets who arrive here are injured, sick, or neglected. Their road to recovery can take time, compassion, and costly medical care.
That’s where the Emergency Medical Fund comes in. This special fund ensures that even the most vulnerable shelter pets get the surgeries, medicine, and treatments they need to live healthy, happy lives. Donations can make a life-saving difference — whether it’s a kitten needing vaccinations, a bunny battling skin issues, or a dog recovering from injury.
One of the pets currently benefiting from the Emergency Medical Fund is Lily, a 13-year-old dog who was abandoned and left with severely matted fur. The matting caused painful skin irritation, but thanks to the Humane Society’s dedicated medical team — and support from the fund — Lily is finally getting the treatments she needs. Every gentle brush, medicated bath, and healing ointment is a step closer to comfort and, eventually, a forever home where she’ll be loved for the rest of her days.
