Welcome to the Pumkin's Promise blog!
Pumkin's Promise was a fund established in memory of a little Yorkshire Terrier Mix named Pumkin (yes, "Pumkin", not "Pumpkin"). Little Pumkin was found tied to a tire in Louisiana and Furever After Rescue (www.fureverafter.org) brought her to Calgary, Canada. Pumkin tested positive for heartworm and preliminary tests and x-rays indicated a leg that had been broken was set with pins that were so large they dug into her muscle and skin. It was also discovered that her liver was dysfunctional and producing large amounts of bile. Moreover, additional chest x-rays found that the worms had not only infested her heart, but also many of her tiny organs. Therefore, after consultations with the rescue’s vets, the decision was made that it was all too much for this little girl and she was sent to the Bridge on June 17th, 2006.
In memory of Pumkin, Pumkin’s Promise was established through Furever After Rescue Society to raise funds for the medical treatment of rescued dogs and to raise awareness of the devastating disease that claimed Pumkin‘s life. Here, you can see how such a sweet little girl touched so many people in such a short time and find out what's going on with Pumkin's Promise!
