Injured Puppy in Southern Indiana Needs Your Help

A puppy was injured this week in the Vincennes, Indiana area and urgently needs donations for emergency surgery and hospitalization.

Southern Indiana is home to many animal shelters that often don’t receive enough credit. Not only do they help animals find their forever homes, but they also feed, house, and address any medical needs that arise. Earlier this week, the Vincennes Animal Shelter stepped up to help an injured puppy in a big way. Now, the shelter needs your help to ensure that same puppy makes a full recovery.

How You Can Help Socks the Puppy

The puppy's name is Socks, and according to the Vincennes Animal Shelter, Socks belongs to a person who is disabled. Earlier this week, Socks sustained an injury that required emergency surgery and hospitalization, resulting in costs that the owner is unable to cover. While the shelter has already performed the procedure, they are now asking for donations to help cover the costs associated with the operation. Any excess donations will go toward caring for other shelter pets.

We all get a lot of calls from numbers that we don't recognize. Most simply don't answer. However, if you receive a call or a text from one of these numbers, you definitely don't want to respond. In fact, just block these numbers.
