I-26 crash dogs found, shelter raising money...

The city's animal shelter is asking for the community's assistance to raise money for two dogs injured in a crash on Interstate 26 a few weeks ago.

(Snip)
The accident happened after the family had driven three-and-a-half days to see a family member's graduation from Fort Jackson.

(Snip)
Their three dogs were seen running away from the scene just after the crash. One of the dogs was found deceased, but Junior and Leo were found with lacerations and broken bones.

I hope this soldiers family get some help. They were all injured in the wreck & now their dogs need medical treatment they can't afford. Hopefully a pet rescue organization with volunteer some assistance

do something nice for their animals and their families' animals.

I hope these two can make a full and safe recovery.

Come on, people - if you've ever talked to someone military about it, you know how important the animals on the homefront and in the field are to their sanity and emotional well-being.

Come on DU - these poor doggies are stranded far from home and need money to heal and then to be transported home to be reunited with their family.

Please consider helping out - check out the shelter - it looks like a good one - and these dogs are in a bad way, but also they are miracles, having survived...
