Five horses seized from abusive/neglectful owner. Four pulled by Rescues, one left behind to suffer. Read the story here: <http://lufkindailynews.com/news/local/article_e21f98e4-1b97-11e0-bc62-001cc4c03286.html> 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! Mechelle R. Fisher www.habitatforhorses.org 409.935.0277 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! Vicki Montgomery [Moderator's note: Posting this because it's a specific case important to a subscriber.
