Welp. Guys. Our Harvey man made it out of surgery and it was a success thanks to the wonderful team at AEC Novi 🙌🏻

Our little dude literally had a corn cob removed that he had ingested prior to coming to us. (Peep the picture 🌽) We honestly cannot believe what a trouper he has been!

He is now back at our shelter recovering well, but still has a long road of healing ahead of him.

To everyone that has contributed to his medical costs…we cannot thank you enough! These life-saving funds allow us to ensure our survivors receive the best medical care.

We have yet to reach our goal, so if you are able to donate, we would be so so grateful! Please consider donating $5 or more to Harvey’s fundraiser if you’re able!

- Mail: PO Box 20637, Ferndale, MI 48220

Another way of helping us spread the word is by sharing this post and sweet Harvey’s story.

Together we will give Harvey the future he absolutely deserves 💚

🙏 ‼️Urgent Medical Funds Needed to Save Harvey ‼️🙏

While we have not been able to share sweet Harvey’s story with you all just yet, his past has reared its ugly head and Harvey is undergoing emergency surgery to remove a corn cob from his intestines.

Harvey has been in our care for over one month, so we are unsure how long he has lived with this foreign body, but we are thankful he’s in our care and that our team acted swiftly to get this very good boy the care he needs, and so desperately deserves.

Harvey is a great boy.
He deserves a chance at a future in a home.
We aren’t going to let a corn cob take his life when he’s come so, so far!

Between diagnostics and emergency surgery, we are looking at over $6,000 in medical costs to save Harvey’s life. PLEASE, please donate $5 to Harvey’s fundraiser if you’re able!

We are wrapping up Survivor Scramble by thanking ALL of our golfers!

We are forever grateful for each and every one of you who came out to not only golf, but also raise major life-saving funds.

$27,251.62 to be exact 🙌🏻

We will be posting all of the incredible pictures taken by Ruff Life Photography and raygungil today on the event page, but wanted to share an extra treat.

Our Hands Free Huey Hole was a HUGE hit (or shall we say, kick?!) 🙃 Our photographers took amazing action shots as well as portraits with you all and our littlest survivor 💚

Thank you for loving on our little dude and making our 11th Annual Survivor Scramble the BEST one yet!

Until next year, Swingers!

Did you know that 💯 of Bark Nation’s funding comes from the generosity of our donors, our sponsors, and our monthly P2 Partners?

One of the BEST ways to join in the fight against ending dogfighting and canine cruelty is to become a monthly Pitness Protection Partner 👏🏻

When you sign up with a monthly donation, whether it’s $5 or $500 per month, that allows us to be able to budget for reoccurring expenses like food, preventatives, medications, and utilities, as well as our unexpected costs like emergency veterinarian care or in taking new survivors. The hard truth is we can only do as much good as our funds will allow.

If you have the ability to give monthly, you can sign up and learn more at barknation.org/p2partners. We would be forever grateful 💚

If you are already a P2 Partner (THANK YOU)…share this post and challenge your friends to join you!

We also know that times are tough and financially this may not be a fit for you. If you would like a free way to support us, share and like this post…maybe throw a fun comment or a pic of YOUR dog below so it boosts the algorithm and just maybe someone else could see it. That would mean SO much to us.

Every stinkin’ dollar goes towards the care of our survivors…and man…they are so insanely worth it.

Did you know that it is National Veterinarian Technician Week?!

We have so many incredible Vet Techs that help us make sure our Survivors are cared for, safe, and loved.

Megan Hajec is a long time P2 Crew member that is a VT for both VetSelect Animal Hospital of Commerce and AEC in Novi and an integral part of our team…we just adore her!

Anna Mueller-Harvey from Countryside Veterinary Clinic, Krista Collins from Cascades Humane Society, and Cassie Frabutt from Compassionate Care Animal Hospital all deserve their flowers for coming to the shelter and assisting with initial veterinary intakes and other treatments throughout our survivor’s stay with us.

We would also like to shout out the VTs at Michigan Anti-Cruelty Society, All About Animals Rescue, Milford Veterinary Clinic, Union Lake, Vet Select, AEC, and all of the other amazing local clinics our babes have gone to in their most scary, sick, and painful times…you all are rock stars.

We couldn’t do what we do without Vet Techs…you are our heroes 🙌🏻
