Charlie was alone and scared. He had been injured and was in danger of freezing to death. A man spotted him on his property and contacted River Valley Animal Rescue, telling them, "There is a beagle out by my chicken coop and I think he is dying." An RVAR volunteer went looking for Charlie and found him sleeping in a pile of straw in the chicken coop. She could see he wasn't doing well. He looked tired and hungry. She coaxed him out of the corner with little bits of cheese, slipped a leash around his neck and carried him to the car. She brought him back to RVAR's shelter and everyone there made him comfortable, giving him a warm bed and food to eat. RVAR's vet, Dr. Mandy, checked him out the next morning and found that in addition to being seriously underweight and having an infection in both of his ears, Charlie had been in some kind of accident. She thought he had been rolled by a car because he had road rash on his face and body, head trauma and an injury to his eye. Dr. Mandy believes Charlie is going to survive his ordeal, but now Charlie needs your help. He will have to make MANY trips to see Dr. Mandy, taxing RVAR's already meager budget. River Valley Animal Rescue is asking for your help to pay for Charlie's vet care, so that they can help him get healthy and find a forever home. Any donation made will go directly towards paying Charlie's expenses. Any amount will help, but if you donate $20, we will send you a RVAR car window decal so that you can proudly show you support the efforts of an organization dedicated to helping animals like Charlie. River Valley Animal Rescue is a non-profit animal rescue and shelter, completely run by volunteers, where every donation goes directly toward running our facility and helping many animals find loving forever homes.
