Our kitty Smokey was attacked by our neighbors dogs on our property. We contacted SAH enroute and they were ready for us on arrival. They were amazing, unfortunately the dogs dislocated her femur and shattered 2 of her lower vertebrae. The damage to our kitty was beyond repair. We had to put her down to our dismay. SAH was amazing in their care and comfort for Smokey and us. They did all they could do for Smokey and helped us say goodbye.

Unfortunately I had to bring in my daughter's old dog Buddy because he was hit by a car that morning. He didn't make it. The care and compassion shown was very heartwarming. Thank you.
