Belle's owner passed away in August, and although other family members loved her, they couldn't bring her home with them. For awhile she had a feline friend living with her in the backyard, but then he left too. Belle was alone except for the visits to feed her. Months went by, and then Belle stopped eating. She lost weight - a lot of weight. The family contacted GALT and asked for help. Belle was picked up and taken to Dr. Wick Culp, Animal Medical Center in Amarillo for a checkup. Lab work was not good. Belle more than likely had liver cancer. We brought Belle home and introduced her to her 10 pack mates; she would never be alone again. We cooked chicken for Belle, but she would only pick at it. She couldn't keep anything down. She enjoyed brief sunny walks around her new property but always returned to her slumber ball that she picked out. I will put Belle's slumber ball in the van today to make her comfortable for her last trip to GALT's vet. We picked her up only 7 days ago, and she immediately had a place in our hearts and home. Belle was a good girl, a very good girl. Thank you GALT for stepping up for this girl and allowing us to love her. ~When a bell rings an angel gets her wings~ Belle got her wings today.

This sad (but true) story was written by Belle's foster mom just hours before her journey to the Rainbow Bridge (link to Belle's profile).  It is a testament not only to the commitment and compassion of GALT volunteers but also to the generosity of GALT supporters far and wide.  It is only through your continued support that GALT is able to answer the next call for help and the next one after that.  In this season of giving, we ask that you renew your commitment to enable GALT to live our "no grey turned away" philosophy each and every day.
