How to resolve AdBlock issue? This Week Pets: Sarge's Animal Rescue, Help Remi
Meet new Sarge dog Remi. He's a Beagle boy who had the great misfortune to step into a bear trap, which resulted in needing to have his leg amputated. Fortunately, because of your donations to our Wuz Bug Fund for Special Needs Animals, we were able to get him the medical care he needed, including the surgery, and he's expected to make a full recovery and live a full life with three legs. Now the fund needs to be replenished so we'll be prepared to help the next animal need.
