Karmela is a loveable three-legged
dog that now has a home living with world renowned artist Darek
Pala. Karmela
was one of tens of thousands of dogs that suffered with an injury or illness
that needed specialized care and was taken to a Miami Animal Shelter when his
owners were unable to pay for his operation. Each year, approximately 34,000
animals are brought into animal shelters and a majority of them end up being
euthanized because many people shy away from adopting pets with injuries or
health issues that go beyond the realm of regular veterinary care.

How Will Karmela's Fund Help |
|
| |
Karmela's Fund is a partnership between
Miami Veterinary Specialists and Derek Pala that will offer financial assistance
to Miami animal shelters and rescue centers to care for sick animals that are
in need of specialty veterinary care. With help from Karmela's Fund, more animals
will be treated and cured and then go on to lead happy, healthy lives—and
most importantly, be adopted into loving families. According to Dr. Juan Sardinas
of Miami Veterinary Specialists, “This is important because there are a
lot of advanced specialty procedures that we can perform and the most frustrating
part, as doctors, is to have to turn away pets due to finances.” Karmela's
Fund will allocate funds for pets who need care and this will in turn increase
their chances of being adopted. |

| How You Can Help |
|
| |
With your help, we can see to
it that more animals get treated and healed and in the end- adopted into a
wonderful home. Initial funds for Karmela's Fund will come from proceeds from
the auction of Darek Pala’s
custom dog paintings. Mr. Pala will donate 50% of all proceeds to the fund. The
auction is set to take place within the months of June and July. This is a great
opportunity for all of us who love animals to give every pet a fighting chance
at a happy life and good health. Together we can eliminate the need for the unnecessary
euthanizing of animals. |
