"We had Hazel spayed at Noah's Animal Hospital yesterday. She did very well and the staff said what a sweet little girl she is. She is hurting but doing fine. The staff was wonderful and my brother and I thank you and your organization for paying for this service. I've put a donation in the mail for this very worth while organization and wish you well. Thanks again for all your help."  ~Sherry
