Murray

Murray is an older gentleman who was abandoned in a municipal shelter. LIGRR came to his rescue and took him out.

Just when Murray's life was looking up he had a cluster of seizures. At first we hoped that it was an isolated incident but unfortunately this was not the case. Once in his foster home and on medication Murray continues to have seizures.

Recently, he was hospitalized for quite a few days in an attempt to gain control of his epilepsy. Murray needs help. He needs your support so that he can stay in the foster home and continue to get the care that he needs.

Augie

Please find it in your heart to help Augie!

Augie, an approximately 10 year old male, was found living in a municipal dump in Suffolk County two years ago. His coat, skin and ears were in abysmal condition Our LIGRR volunteers immediately fell in love with his gentle disposition despite the many obvious hardships he endured.

Augie was treated medically in one of our dedicated foster homes where it was discovered he suffered from a tendency to severe skin allergies common to Golden Retrievers. His skin and ears cleared, his coat restored, Augie found his "forever" home in a young family with children where he could frolic and play in safety and security. We at LIGRR celebrated!

Unfortunately, Augie’s skin allergies periodically recurred and increased in intensity and he developed a medically resistant staph infection. Augie's family became unable to care for him and he was recently returned to LIGRR's care.

Augie is one of the sweetest dogs we have ever met, despite his challenges in life.

He was returned to us with a very severe abscess by his tail and advanced ear infections in both ears, yet still greets every person he meets with tail wags and joy.

LIGRR sent Augie to a premier canine dermatologist on Long Island, who can make Augie better and send him to a new, loving adoptive home.

However, for now Augie must be hospitalized in an isolation area to be given the special medication to help him and he needs allergy testing and blood tests to help determine the most effective treatments. The costs of Augie’s hospitalization are mounting daily.

LIGRR will provide Augie the affection and support he needs to recover, but we must have your help to pay for the medical care he so desperately needs and deserves!
