Another Sunny Day for Sabrina

We helped a dog named Sabrina yesterday that was vomiting and had puss in her mouth. Her owner on disability didn't know what to do. She didn't want to surrender her because she didn't have the funds but now Sabrina is resting nicely at home with Michelle thanks to supporters like you.

We still receive so many call and we can't help everyone. Please support us by attending O'FLuFF Lucky Charms Sunday March 13th 4-7 pm at West Hollywood Healthy Spot. Visit our website for more information www.flff.org.

When your friends and loved ones want to give you a gift, why not ask them to make a donation to FLFF instead? What a wonderful way to bring peace on Earth and good will towards all the kitties, doggies and people in need...What sweater, tie or fruitcake an top that?

Wishing the very best of holidays to you and yours, and the happiest of healthiest of New Years!!

Sunny Days Get Brighter for Couguar . . .

Thank you again for your financial support, prayers and encouragement! Couguar got his Surgery for the sudden ear tumor! We could not have done it without your help since I am on a fixed income and no longer receiving service animal funding from the State due to budget cuts. To lose a Service Animal over this would have been personally devastating; I cannot live without him!

The vet, Dr. Mackey, further discounted it (over ½ of normal cost); plus he did reconstruction, using Coug's face to fix his mangled ear; and, he even got his teeth done for no charge! The tumor lab result came back; while unusual in nature, It Was NOT Cancer! And, the margins were all clean. He should recover fully, with very little scarring! He will be capable of all his duties within a week or so; what a relief! My dearest friend and biggest help is going to be with me for years to come! I cannot begin to thank you enough! I pray you get the support you need to continue to provide this priceless help!

With our Deepest Thanx!!!!!!!!!

Another Sunny Day for Couguar!

Thanks to supporters like you, service dog Couguar is scheduled for surgery today to remove a tumor from his ear. His disabled guardian and widow, Melelani, is no longer receiving service dog funding from the state due to budget cuts and is on Social Security. Couguar lost 10 lbs because the tumor was causing so much pain he couldn't eat. Couguar will soon be out of pain and can continue servicing Melelani allowing her to keep her independence.


"Thank you so much for your pledge. Couguar has been in pain, doesn't sleep and I didn't know what to do. Your donation is a blessing. I am now relieved to be able to help Couguar as his strength keeps me on my feet!" - Melelani

Meet Dexter - who is walking towards Another Sunny Day!

Thank you so much for your generous donation for our dog Dexter's spinal surgery. He is only 8 years old and he saved our lives and we wanted to save his. He is walking again with a hunched over back and is on the road to recovery. We are so grateful that you were able to help us in a desperate time of need. This past week I lost my job again. You have no idea how much this meant to all of us including our other dachshund Sadie Rose who will not leave Dexter’s side. Thank you thank you thank you. - Jana & Ashley and Sadie Rose and Dexter too!

Help us help the animals in need of veterinary care like Harry Potter who now has a shinny coat. His guardian approached us for help since she is a senior on a fixed income and couldn't afford treatment for his skin condition that was making it hard for him to even lay down.

Look how he now enjoys relaxing with many Sunny Days.

Cinnamon will have sunny days ahead!

Cinnamon is going to the vet to a large mass removed/drained making her struggle to walk. Thanks to supporters like you, her disabled unemployed guardian can nowfeel at ease knowing Cinnamon is getting the care she needs.

Tia is Feeling Much Lighter

Another Sunny Day Fund helped Tia drain 2 gallons of fluid out of her stomach! She's feeling much lighter and happier. Tia continues to be monitored by her vet and is on the road to a Sunny and bright future ahead. Thanks to all the supporters like you!

I’m writing to you to express my deepest gratitude in your generous gift to help pay for the very expensive Vet bill that Tia occurred. It’s nice to know that there are other people out there that care for animals enough to help in any way that they can.

Tia might never know where the money came from to get her well, but I do. I will never forget you and always remember you in my prayers.

Sunny Days Ahead for Sumo and Tia

Sumo the pug is home safe today after having having tumors removed from his mouth. We had a pledge waiting for him and have just discovered the vet kept the costs down so he didn't use our pledge! Now we can use the pledge towards Tia the puppy who needs stomach surgery! July has been a great month for generous vets and recovering pets!

Meet Little Missy

We gave Missy's mom a pledge for her to see a specialist today about her leg. The nice vet removed her splint and said her leg would heal on its own. He didn't even charge for the visit! Now we have funding to help a little kitten that is off to see the vet tomorrow for an eye infection.

Charley has Sunny Days ahead

I am so excited to share...my tail just won't stop wagging.

Four Legged Friend Foundation helped out Charley the Chihuahua Terrier mix who had a growth removed yesterday. He is home recovering nicely with Sunny Days in his future.

Pictures to come soon. :)
