Help more pets like Noodle this festive season
Many vulnerable families face the holidays without their beloved pets because of an unexpected pet emergency. The Walsh family nearly lost their rescue Greyhound, Noodle, last year. Luckily, he made it to Lort Smith in time for urgent treatment that saved his life. It would not have been possible without the generous support of people like you.
