Together We At the AWLA, we are passionate about going above and beyond to create positive outcomes for pets, families and our community. When we learned that our little buddy Simon, a local senior chihuahua, had stopped eating, we knew something was wrong. He and his human companion had been clients of the AWLA’s AniMeals program for senior citizens on a fixed income. Simon had always eaten with gusto, but it was clear to see that something was stopping him. Simon had dental disease, and it had advanced so far that several of his teeth were badly decayed, causing pain every time he tried to eat. As part of the AWLA’s veterinary assistance fund, we were able to get Simon the surgery he needed to address his dental issues. For the first time ever, Simon was away from his companion overnight! Both were happy to get through this harrowing situation, and now Simon is back to his old, cuddly self!
