By purchasing products from the iHugDogs store, funds are raised for the non-profit organization “Greater Good Charities.” This organization supports various animals through its GOODS Program, which delivers healthy meals to shelters and rescue organizations. Thanks to such donations, numerous animals have already been saved.
Gator, the Labrador puppy, serves as an excellent illustration of a dog that has experienced positive outcomes from the GOODS Program. He was handed over to “A Lab for Life”, a foster-based rescue located in Edmond, Oklahoma, due to a severe case of parvo. Recognizing the potentially fatal nature of parvo, particularly without adequate treatment, Gator spent the initial three days at the veterinary clinic to initiate his recovery.
After those initial three days, the veterinarian determined that Gator was prepared to transition to foster care. His foster family had the responsibility of closely monitoring him and administering subcutaneous fluids. Thanks to their dedicated care, Gator not only survived but is now experiencing a state of well-being better than ever before!
Once Gator regained sufficient strength, he became available for adoption and quickly found an ideal family. A young couple adopted Gator, showering him with love and providing a life of luxury. He delights in playing in the winter snow and regularly accompanies his humans on vacations to their lakeside retreat during the summer.
The successful recovery and adoption of Gator are all attributable to the generous donations received by A Lab for Life. The GOODS Program supplies nutritious meals for the dogs under their care, enabling them to focus on other essential aspects like medical requirements. By reducing expenses on supplies, the rescue had ample funds to support Gator’s parvo treatment.
A Lab for Life expressed,
“Thanks to the GOODS Program, we’ve been able to cut costs on supplies, allowing us to allocate those funds towards assisting dogs in need.”
Every item bought from the iHugDogs store has the potential to significantly benefit dogs like Gator. This charming pup no longer has to experience loneliness because A Lab for Life played a crucial role in connecting him with the loving family he deserves. Even modest contributions can make a difference, aiding rescues and shelters in saving more lives. Therefore, heartfelt thanks to all the heroes who have made purchases to support dogs in need!
