Mighty Mite Emergency Fund
The Mighty Mite Emergency Fund was developed in memory
of Mighty Mite, the AWP Mascot who inspired the creation of the Animal
Welfare Project.
Any donations dedicated specifically towards this fund will be earmarked
for animals who arrive needing emergency care and support.
We are grateful to have had these funds available,
or these animals would have had much different outcomes.
How your donations have changed lives...
A call came to assist Whitemarsh Township Zoning and their Police
Department, regarding 2 horses in Conshohocken, PA. The horses were
being housed on rented property under PECO power lines. They were
undernourished and lacking proper feed and water. They were also fighting
serious "Code Blue" winter weather. Experts from AWP quickly reviewed
the horses' situation.

AWP provided emergency blankets and storm sheets, to help retain their
body heat. Within 24 hours their shelter was expanded and they laid
down in fresh bedding for the first time. Hay and grain were improved,
and the owners were taught the importance of drinking warm water in
the winter to prevent colic. Within 30 days, the animals' body weight
was almost normal.
Eventually, though, their care slipped again, and the owner attempted
to ditch them into slaughter. So these 2 horses were removed, re-housed,
and eventually adopted into a better life.
This
fund helped us assist Sammy, a Beagle who was about to be euthanized
because of hyperactivity and his reactive behavior. Instead of that
ending, AWP was able to provide good quality care and training,
which gave Sammy a new lease on life!
Humane
treatment was also provided to Baby, a starving Rottweiler found
wandering in a Park. We were able to provide Baby with medical care
and support, then allow him to pass away in our arms when his cancer
took over. Special thanks goes out to Metropolitan Vet Associates
and Emergency Services.
