Archie The Therapy Dog Recovering From His Surgery
Archie, a Newfoundland, provides smiles and laughter to children at Casa Pacifica, a Ventura County, California oasis for abused, neglected and emotionally disturbed children.
But this therapy dog recently needed help of his own. He needed an expensive surgery from an injury sustained while playing with another dog. But the non-profit organization did not have any funds for Archie’s surgery.
News got out about Archie’s need for surgery and donations flooded Casa Pacifica. They received $6,000 in donations and even received donations from the UK.
Veterinarians performed surgery on Archie earlier this week. He is currently recovering and should be back at Casa Pacifica in a couple of weeks to bring smiles to the children and give them some big hugs.
