Pet's Story or Bio
Hi everyone! My name is Finnigan Potlicker. When I was about 2 months I was being abused by some kids who poked me in the eye with a stick and ruptured my eyeball. Seeing that I needed medical attention, some very nice people took me to SAGA where I underwent surgery to have my right eye removed. The veterinarians thought I was the only survivor of my litter and said I was lucky to have been rescued when I was. SAGA posted my story on line and my Mom quickly came to SAGA and adopted me. My eye healed well, but I had hookworm (twice), was malnourished, dehydrated, had ringworm, two tick-born diseases, was critically anemic and my protein levels were critically low. The vet was not optimistic. But I have been having weekly checkups and with proper medications and care, I am doing much better. I am happy to report I am now a sturdy 11lbs 2oz (from 2lbs 2oz just 3 months ago) and am very happy. I have a great life now full of love, hugs and kisses. The wonderful people at SAGA, many of them volunteers, saved my life and work hard everyday to save many more. Please vote for me and show your support not just for me but for so many of my 4-legged friends still needing SAGA's help. I have my own facebook page, so please friend me (I'm getting pretty good at typing). Thank you, thank you! lick, lick, wag, wag.
