Raffle to be held to help pay vet bill for six year-old Rottweiler

| |
A raffle is being held at 3 p.m. May 3 at the Petco in San Dimas to help pay the cost of a six year-old Rottweiler's veterinary bill.

The Rottweiler was rescued from the pound in Pomona where she was suffering from critical pneumonia.
 
The veterinarian "Didn't know if she would make it," said Lee, a member of the Animal Wellness Rescue who rescued the pup from the pound. "I was going over there every day to sit with her and keep her warm at the hospital. She didn't want to eat, so I took her some chicken, I took chicken broth and beef broth and that turned her around."

She is currently living with a foster family until a permanent home can be found for her.

"She's doing really really well," Lee said. "She's a big teddy bear. She's a love bug and thinks she's a Chihuahua. All she wanted was attention and love and to give love and attention back and we're looking for an loving home."

A 14K opal ring worth approximately $400 will be raffled off as the main prize. Other prizes include a gift basket from Petco, a gift certificate from Stator Bros., an art deco sculpture of a Grey hound and an item from Home Depot for the men participating in the raffle.

Tickets are available at Welcome Wagg'n Home of Upland Feed Since 1896 located at 164 N. Second Ave. in Downtown Upland. Tickets are also available from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays at the Petco at 822 W. Arrow Hwy in San Dimas.

Tickets are $1 each and 15 tickets or an arm's length of tickets for $10.

Donations for the non-profit or raffle can be mailed to P.O. Box 1644 Upland, Ca. 91785-1644.
