ALL is a no-kill shelter that gives each life a fighting chance and will explore any possibility if there is a vestige of hope for all its rescues. Immediate lifesaving treatment is needed for some of its rescues. Fraught with the heightened cost of living worldwide, ALL is left with large veterinary bills that continue to accumulate.

Armstrong is our dear gentle giant. A lump on his rump has led to the very sad discovery of a soft tissue sarcoma. He underwent a surgery to remove the lump, assumed benign, but was determined otherwise and has recurred after about two months. After getting a CT scan and seeking a specialist's opinion, we have been advised that Armstrong will need a series of tests and surgeries to try to save his life.

Ashley is another rescued dog who suddenly lost function of her hind legs in early-2023. She would move around using only her front legs, dragging her back legs on the ground. After much rehabilitation, veterinary care and hydro- theraphy, she was well on the road to recovery and regained use of her hind legs in late-2023. We were so heartened by her tenacity to live!

However, Ashley's case has taken a turn for the worse as her condition has caused her bladder to be twisted causing urinary retention. With multiple surgeries and procedures to correct this, she remains alert, energetic and bright. This girl really wants to live! There continues to be many vet visits, urinary catheterisations, prescription food and surgery for Ashley -- we will continue to fight alongside her.

ALL of these are stories of hope, resilience and compassion at Animal Lovers League. But, they would not have been possible without constant treatments and checkups, which are fuelled by our kind donors. Your support helps to transform an animal's life, and help them become the bubbly friend they are again. Every paw deserves a chance, and every act of kindness makes a world of difference.
