Mugsy - Before



Mugsy - After



Vision Hills is posting Mugsy as a courtesy for a rescuer in Houston. You can donate directly to the veterinary clinic listed below, or you can donate through Vision Hills using the Paypal link on this page. One hundred percent of all donations will go directly to Mugsy's veterinary costs.

The Face of Dog Fighting

Mugsy was found on the side of the road, in with the trash, in a very ugly part of Houston. It didn't take long to catch him, he was weak and he was all bones besides his injuries to his face jaw and head. The inside of his mouth was mangled, and he has teeth broken. He will need a lot of care. Mugsy was seen a few hours later by a vet at one of the shelters, and his diagnosis is that by the way his scars and new wounds are positioned, he was used as a bait dog. He was terrified and did not move from a fetal postion in his crate, with his back braced up against the bars. He looked uncomfortable, but looks like he was used to being like that.

Please help us continue his medical care and bring him back to life. We started Mugsy's Fund at the Alvin Animal Clinic for him, and will continue that fund for any animals subjected to the hideous crime of dog fighting that we can help.

News

We currently have dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs and gerbils looking for homes.

Donations

We could not do what we do without you. That's the ongoing reality of running an animal sanctuary and rescue organization - we need your help to survive. Vision Hills' average cost to feed and provide care to our rescued animals is approximately $40,000 - $50,000 annually. Every month we use over 500 pounds of dry dog food, 5 cases of canned dog food, 150 pounds of rabbit food, 50 pounds of guinea pig food and 150 pounds of hay. We use over 100 pounds of litter each week! Plus, we go through a lot of Heartgard and Frontline for the dogs every month.

Other expenses include:

Medical care
Vaccinations
Spay/neuter expenses

Vision Hills is recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Your donation to Vision Hills is tax deductible.
