Habitat For Horses stepped up to help Papito (aka: Luvkin) but like so
many Rescuers today, they need donations to help pay for his surgery
and aftercare. To make a donation: PayPal on habitatforhorses.org
website (click the "Donate Now" button - put "Paint Horse Surgery Fund"
in the notes or email us ([log in to unmask]) to let us know
they just made a donation for him and we will allocate it accordingly :)

We can run credit cards over the phone (409.935.0277) He is at Elgin
Vet Hospital: 512.285.3395. He is under the care of Dr. Underwood. I
would like if you could let us know about direct payments to the vet
so we can keep track of it, but it would be better to pay us if you
want the tax deduction!

The story is on the homepage of our website (www.habitatforhorses.org)
 ...thanks so much :) Let me know if you have any questions!

Elgin Vet Hospital did Papito's survery on Monday and it all went very
well :)  He is resting comfortably in his stall and expected to make a
full recovery (though will never be rideable again...) WE NEED
DONATIONS TO HELP PAY FOR HIS SURGERY :)

We are renaming him LUVKIN!
