Meet Alfie
All was well until it wasn’t for Alfie, a Boston Terrier living in London, who suddenly began experiencing seizures. The grave diagnosis of a brain tumor sent Alfie and his owners on a journey across the world to experts at the Lewis Small Animal Hospital for cutting-edge treatment.
Meet Blackjack
Life started out rough for newborn donkey foal Blackjack. Injured shortly after birth, his care team at Piper Equine Hospital put him on the mend and back to growing up in good health.
Meet Ora
Facing certain death in a barn fire, Ora the pig did the only thing she could. The 8-month-old pig broke through a panel, saving herself and her pen mate but suffering severe burns on over 90 percent of her body. A team of clinicians at the Large Animal Hospital put her on the road to recovery.
Meet Stella
Found abandoned and starving on the side of a highway on a cold winter day, a stray dog named Stella started her long journey of healing the day of her rescue. Serious injuries brought her to the Lewis Small Animal Hospital, where she underwent surgery to fix a fractured hind leg and amputate her front right leg.
