Update: Cutie has been adopted and is doing great!

Even though Joey is on her way to Denver The Yolo County SPCA always has animals with special needs who will benefit from donations to the angel fund. Currently Cutie a sweet 7 month old Cockapoo is being cared for after a vertebral fracture to her spinal column, and Fievel an adorable puppy who had to have a chicken bone removed from his throat are just two of the many animals that have special medical needs that will benefit from donations made to the Angel Pet Fund.
