MISSION MOMENT
Milton
Milton is a 2-year-old English Bulldog mix that came
to Peggy Adams as a transfer from Palm Beach
County Animal Care & Control. When he was
transferred to us, he was very sick with pneumovirus.
Due to the contagiousness of this virus, Milton was
placed in an isolation space where he received
medication and care until he recovered.
While he was in isolation, we noticed that his
brachycephalic or “bulldog” traits were especially
severe. He had a severely elongated soft palate (tissue
blocking his airway) and his nares (nostrils) were too
small. This made it difficult for him to breathe and he
was getting tired quickly when exercising.
We performed surgery on his palate and his nares
to make his breathing easier. Even the next morning,
he could breathe so much better and was attempting
to run down the hallway. Milton stayed under the
supervision of our medical team for a week to recover
and then was placed up for adoption. On March 2nd,
Milton was adopted into his loving, forever home.

Like Milton
Our medical team performs many lifesaving surgeries, as well
as a growing number of spay and neuter surgeries. With rising
costs of pain medicine (some as high as 28%), we are faced with
increased expenses for treatment of animals like Milton.
Thanks to a generous gift from one of
our friends, all donations received up to
$50,000 will be matched.
