When Shannon called us from Costa Rica she was desperate. Her husband had become more and more violent and had thretened to kill Aticus, her Yorkshire Terrier.
Shannon's husband was controlling and did not allow her to go out of the house. We devised a plan. She told her husband Aticus was sick and needed to go to the vet. Her husband took Shannon to the vet with Aticus and he waited in the car. With the assistance of the vet, we arranged to get Aticus his certificate of health and also a crate for Shannon to get Aticus on the plane.
Shannon snuck out the back door of the veterinary's office with Aticus and got into the taxi we arranged for her, heading straight to the airport, then back home to Ohio.
Aticus is doing great. A little shaken up from the escape but happy and healty because of donors like you!
Thank you for helping Shannon & Aticus! The AODVC Team
