It's RAINing Cats and Dogs

Rescuing Animals In Need, R.A.I.N. is a non-profit organization located in Central Florida (in and around the Orlando area).  We are a group of dedicated volunteers and foster parents who work to save the lives of homeless and displaced cats and dogs. We do not receive salaries or compensation in any way.  Our reward is the love we get from the animals that we rescue and the wonderful feeling that comes from saving animals' lives.  They need us!!  AND YOU!

NEWS FLASH!

PLEASE HELP SUNDANCE
Click to see larger picture

This is Sundance, a lab mix puppy who came into foster care on May 30, 2008 at 4 weeks of age with her 11 brothers and sisters.  Right away her foster family knew something was wrong because her head was so much larger than her body.  As her brothers and sisters continued to grow, Sundance seemed to decline.  It soon became apparent that she is mostly blind and when she began to have seizures, her foster mom took her to our favorite vet, Dr. Larkins at Altamonte Veterinary Hospital.  Dr. Larkins diagnosed her with Hydrocephalus – water on the brain – and suggested we seek the advice of an animal neurologist.  We contacted Affiliated Veterinary Specialists to inquire if potential treatments existed.  They said yes however a consult examination was required to be sure.   

Check HERE for recent updates on Sundance

Expensed to date exceed $800 which includes:
June 16^th consult exam
June 30^th follow up exam and further tests
Antibiotics

Your donations will help us help Sundance.  Any excess funds will be used directly 100% for the care of the many other animals in our organization.

HELP!
We are in need of people who can or are willing to learn how to bottle feed kittens. We have had to turn away abandoned kittens due to a lack of volunteers who can bottle feed. We also need foster homes for cats, kittens, puppies and dogs.
If interested please see us at an adoption event
