Dear John,

With only three legs, Regina needs extra care.

Today, your gift can go TWICE as far to help her and all of the other rescued farm animals who require lifelong veterinary care from Farm Sanctuary.

Regina had all four legs when she was born, but the deck was stacked against her from the start. Born the runt of triplets into a high school agriculture program, not only did she have an overwhelmed mother and two bigger demanding siblings, but she lacked proper attention from those charged with her care.

Regina’s health deteriorated quickly. Rejected by her mother and unable to nurse, she became weaker and weaker. Within a week, she broke her right leg—likely from being trampled. She did not receive any veterinary care—not even medicine to help ease her pain.

Seeing that Regina wasn’t getting any better, the program’s administrators decided she should be “put down.” Thankfully a concerned parent felt otherwise—and helped Regina find safety and veterinary care at Farm Sanctuary.

You can’t put a price on rescuing Regina. But saving this sweet sheep meant amputating her broken leg—a costly operation. And now, with only three legs, Regina will require specialized care for the rest of her life.

That’s why Farm Sanctuary’s Vet Care Fund is so important; and right now, the Moog–Helluy family—generous friends of Farm Sanctuary—will match your gift to the 2020 Vet Care Fund, dollar for dollar, up to $10,000.

Your generous support for our Vet Care Fund will help Regina and all our animal residents receive the veterinary care they need—no matter what challenges they face.

For Regina, life after amputation has been very good. Following surgery, she was standing and walking right away—and soon, she was prancing and running like other baby lambs. Still, Regina’s unusual weight distribution puts extra pressure on her spine and remaining hind leg, which requires continuous bracing and chiropractic care.

Regina is still young, but at Farm Sanctuary we provide lifelong care. And just like in humans, advanced age brings additional health issues.

That’s why I’m turning to you, John. Please join Farm Sanctuary and have your donation DOUBLED to support the individualized care we give our entire animal family.
