AHCA Rescue provides support, coordination, and financial assistance to a national network of volunteers. Our goal is to ensure that veterinary care, including spaying and neutering, temperament evaluations, foster placements, and loving, permanent homes are provided to homeless Afghan Hounds. AHCA Rescue receives its funding from individual contributors, fund-raising items and events, and from donations by regional Afghan Hound clubs.

Fenix... Our new Special Needs Girl

Fenix is one years old and needed to have emergency surgery to remove a blockage in her intestinal tract. It seems that Fenix ate a pair of socks, a tee shirt, a pair of shorts, and a bikini top. Her owner was unable to cover the cost of the necessary surgery and she would have died with out it, so she was turned over to Rescue. Fenix has risen from the ashes of what would have been certain death if left untreated and will be fostered till she can find her forever home - hopefully one where clothing is not left unattended! We do not yet have a copy of the final bill for her surgery and hospitalization but the estimate was between $3000 to $3500 as she had to be stabilized before surgery could be done.

If you would like to help with Fenix's vet bills, please send your tax deductible donation to:

AHCA Charitable Rescue Trust (must be worded as such to get your tax receipt)

Update 1/4/2010:

I am hoping the rest of this year is as wonderful as the surprise we got in regards to Fenix's Vet bills. The bill total was only $1379.85 No charges for any of the Vet services!!! The Staff of The Town and Country Veterinary Clinic Christiansburg, Virginia and the following Vets: Drs. Erin Kasell; Amy Sanderson; Desiree Thomas; and Karl Droeniein deserve a round of applause from us! What a way to begin the New Year! Our sincere thanks to these great people
