[Animal's name] is playing in the yard again
Hi [First name],
Since you last gave, [Animal's name] came to us with a spinal injury and couldn't walk. After vet care and a wheelchair cart, [he/she/they] now plays in the yard with the other dogs and is ready for a forever home. Gifts from people like you helped make that cart and those vet visits possible.
On Giving Tuesday, we're raising $1,000 for vet care and daily supplies. That covers one month for 5 special-needs pets, at $200 each.
