MUFFIN PET DIABETES
SUPPORT GROUP
PETS NEEDING SPONSORS

Companion animals should not have to suffer or die because their caregivers are having financial difficulties.


All of the pets on these pages are in need of sponsors as their caregivers are having difficulties meeting their monthly diabetes costs. A monthly sponsorship helps provide the funds needed for diabetic care and supplies. Some pets may need multiple sponsors because of the nature and cost of their treatment.

When you see this symbol , that means that particular pet currently has at least one sponsor.  Our sponsorship program is pretty loosely structured. We do not have a set sponsor fee but rather we let the sponsor determine how much they can afford, which could be anywhere from $5 to $50 per month or more.  It is because of this that some pets may need multiple sponsors.

The only thing we ask is that our sponsors who make a monthly commitment honour that commitment each month until they notify us they no longer wish to do so.

Muffindoes not pay out funds to our applicants.  All money is sent directly to the veterinarian or pharmacy after an invoice is received.  When you make a donation to Muffin your money is used exactly as you instruct us to use it.  You can make a one-time donation to any of our current PIN cases or our General Funds.  You may also sign up to sponsor one or more of our ongoing cases.

 please help if you can.

ANGEL

Angel is a 6 year old Sheltie Mix, spayed female. Her and her sister Faith were thrown over a side of a mountain at just 5 weeks of age. They survived mange, parasites, and abuse. Angel diagnosed with diabetes one year ago coupled with pancreatitus disease has a very strong will to live. She is a real fighter and has overcome many obstacles. She is currently on Royal Canin High Fiber, Can food which costs 47.29 for a case of 24. The dry food Royal Canin, High Fiber cost 49.99 for a 33lb bag. Her owner being disabled with no SSI benefits as of yet, is struggling to cover the cost of Angel's food. Angel is a very shy and timid young girl, who loves to run and play with her sister. She enjoys being with her caretaker, having her little tummy rubbed, and giving kisses and going for car rides too. 

Angel is on Novalin N, 10 units twice a day and is regulated.    Her caregiver is on a fixed income and the vet is denying treatment because of an overdue account - this includes food for Angel, who is doing well on Royal Canin.  Angel's insulin costs $48 a month and syringes, $31.  Angel's syringes are the BD Ultra FineII, short needle, 3/10cc for 30 units or less, 5/16" length needle, 31 guage needle. 

A Muffin Angel is sponsoring Angel for $25 a month until August, 2008.
