Stella came to CCAH after being in labor for over 15 hours. She could not deliver her puppy, and her family could not find a hospital that would provide the surgery within their budget. SLF allowed the doctors and medical team at CCAH to provide the life-saving surgery for Stella. Without this intervention, both mom and puppy would have died. Stella was in extreme pain and distress – it is rewarding for the medical team to be able to provide the necessary care to save a life.
