Meet Steve

The three-month-old puppy was at-risk of euthanasia at an overcrowded shelter due to a traumatic eye injury. 

He was in pain and needed someone to save him.

Vegas Roots Rescue came to his rescue and told us, "Our local shelter has a transfer list of animals that are at risk of being euthanized and we pulled him from there."

His eye has ruptured and the only option is to remove it. While his life was saved, he still needs an enucleation. 

He has been started on pain medication while he awaits surgery. Steve is a tough pup who remains happy and friendly through it all.

Click to Help James

James and his blind brother, William, were found abandoned on the street when they were just four weeks old. James was born with one blind eye that started to cause him discomfort. Over time, that eye became increasingly painful and irritated. James is the seeing-eye cat for his brother, making his condition even more urgent to treat.
