January 28, 2009: AZURE - Stab Victim Pit Bull Puppy - Original Story

Dr. Wheaton & Alicia Pet Care Center would like to thank you for the recent outpouring of love & concern for "Azure" the sweet 8 month old Pit Bull Puppy who came in to our full service animal hospital after surviving 7 stab wounds during a domestic dispute on Tuesday night (Jan 20, 2009).  We are overjoyed to report she is recovering very well from the surgeries done Wednesday to repair her internal injuries and had a long nite rest after a day filled with media interviews and continued treatments. We hope her celebrity will enable her to receive the donations necessary to continue her treatment and assure her happy and healthy future.  If you would like to make a tax deductible donation towards her medical bills you can send your donation to: The Pet Rescue Center, ATTN: Azure, 25800 Jeronimo Rd., Ste 100, Mission Viejo, CA 92691. Please make checks payable to: The Pet Rescue Center. You can also donate online to The Pet Rescue Center via credit card or paypal: www.thepetrescuecenter.org
