Treasured Tails - Where Pets are Family

After 60 years refurbishing furniture and working at the Mexia State Supported Living Center, Elvern is retired and enjoys walking in his pasture and working on furniture. Spade, an 8 month old Boxer mix, recently came into his life after his granddaughter asked for his help with her puppy. Dallas apartment life wasn’t a good fit. Of course, Elvern was happy to get a companion and learn ABC would help with Spade's vet care. Sabrina, a Treasured Tails volunteer, transported Spade to the clinic for the first time in March for vaccinations and to be neutered. He visited the clinic again this past week to get his last set of booster vaccinations and his latest weight for heartworm prevention and flea/tick control. Spade is now fully vetted to ensure he remains healthy in his daily role of giving and receiving unconditional love.

This care isn't possible without generous donations to ABC's & Meals on Wheels Waco Treasured Tails program, so families like Spade and Elvern are healthy and live longer together.
