A Christmas Story to Remember
You may wish to donate to our “Noel Fund” for emergency medical care for our shelter animals. The fund is named for the small, abandoned female Jack Russell terrier who was hit by a car along Route 724 in Cumru Township, not far from the shelter. Cumru Township police found her and brought her to the shelter. Her injuries were life-threatening and she needed special orthopedic surgery to repair her broken pelvis and rear femurs. The surgery left scars on both her hind legs. A local veterinarian donated physical therapy to help “Noel” gain strength to walk again. Because the tiny, two-year-old dog came to the shelter during the Christmas season of 2004, she was named “Noel.” The staff fell in love with her and began making donations to help pay for her medical expenses. “Noel’s” story made the front page of the Sunday Reading Eagle on December 26, 2004, and the news of her plight resulted in an outpouring of concern and support as well as donations to help replenish the shelter’s depleted emergency fund. “I have seen a lot of kind people help us out over the 16 years I’ve worked here,” said executive director Harry D. Brown III, “but nothing like the generosity shown for little ‘Noel.’ Her story touched so many people.”
