Pancho 2021
A couple of months ago my mom’s 10 lbs Chihuahua mix was savagely attacked by two 70 lb if not more, Huskies. “Pancho” had no chance against these two dogs. His belly had bite punctures and rips. He needed a lot of stitches. His front right leg was broken in many parts, that he needed to have a pin put through his whole leg that he needed to wear for months.
My mother after having already paid 6K to save his little life, now had to find more money to start Pancho’s treatments. She saw where she needed help financially to pay more for treatment.
This is where CSADA and Margaret came in. I personally have known Margaret for over 15+ years, and know the love she had for dogs and the desire she has now to help all of the pets she can with her foundation. I consider her a great personal friend. In passing mentioned to her what my mother was going through. She didn’t hesitate one moment and asked for the Vet’s numbers and contacted them. Thanks to her, my mother was at ease knowing that CSADA would now help her.
Please, to whoever is reading this; I ask you to please make a contribution of any size to CSADA. 100% of any monies received go directly to helping the animals.
Thank you CSADA for the help you gave to my mother for her sweet Pancho.
Care for Senior and Disabled Animals is a non-profit organization dedicated to keeping pets in loving homes when there is a financial need that might otherwise call for a pet to be prematurely put down. We work with veterinarians on a case-by-case basis to cover surgery or medication costs for families who cannot cover those costs for their loved animals.
Chibi
This is Chibi, she is 12 years old and has congestive heart failure. Thanks to the wonderful help from Margaret, my mother and I were able to take her to the vet and get her the care she needed. Unfortunately she will be on medication for the rest of her life, but we are so grateful to now know what’s wrong with her and how to comfort her. Thank you again!

Olivia and Killy have loved each other since the day she was born. They share an unbreakable bond….and diapers. On the Oct 11th, 2023 he crossed the rainbow bridge after touching so many hearts around the country.
In memory of Zeena
Margaret with CSADA stepped in for me at a moment’s notice the same day during my 11.5-year-old Doberman’s emergency vet call. Not only did she cooperate with my vet clinic to make sure my dog lived but she also followed through with the diagnostics, aftercare, and even ongoing medication thereafter. Although my dog passed away almost two months later, CSADA gave me that amount of time to treat my dog as comfortably as possible, gave me time to prepare my dog and the family for coming to terms with her condition, and above all, gave me the most precious time with her that no amount of money in the world can buy.
I simply could not ask for a more fortunate ending than what was possible with the help of CSADA. I credit CSADA with the biggest peace of mind I could have possibly received.
A REAL organization that helps REAL life situations in REAL time.

Nala gets the care she needed thanks to CSADA
Nala was found in a park as a stray dog with a major injury to her rear leg. It required bandage changes and sedation every few days. Once she healed from those months later, we realized she had some special needs. Our shelter veterinarian had diagnosed her with Syringomyelia and Epilepsy based on her symptoms. She would scratch at her face, something we learned was called phantom scratching. She would walk in circles, and she seemed to have some vision issues, she also started having seizures. Ideally the Syringomyelia and Epilepsy would be diagnosed through a neurologist and an MRI.
The expected price for all this was close to $3,000. Unfortunately, the shelter couldn’t pay for all the testing she needed. She was on numerous expensive medications and her seizures were not completely under control, because of this the chances of her being adopted were slim to none. Because of that I adopted her and started reaching out trying to get funds to be able to afford an MRI and consult with a neurologist. Thanks to CSADA I was able to make an appointment with a neurologist. Unfortunately, once we got down to Los Angeles that day Nala was not doing well, we were unable to do the MRI. Although we changed her medications and gave supportive care she continued to decline. She was hospitalized and the veterinarian thought we should run a bone marrow test to check for cancer since her white blood cell count was irregular. The results showed that she had a really bad form of Leukemia and there wasn’t going to be a way to cure it.
Although my baby didn’t make it much longer than that I would never have been able to know what was wrong with her and afford her testing and hospitalization if it wasn’t for this organization.
Because of CSADA I was able to help Nala as much as I could and provide a nice home for the time I had her.

Georgie gets more time thanks to CSADA
When we found out that our recently adopted senior Chihuahua “Georgie” needed a vital and expensive surgery to continue living a normal life with us, we were very distraught and confused about how to proceed. The help we received from CSADA allowed us to go ahead with the surgery and hopefully give our sweet dog more time to spend with us. Today Georgie is happy and healthy, and we’re so grateful to CSADA for making that possible!

Kiki
Kiki came to CSADA from Monterey County SPCA. She had a problem with her Right hip. Limped and carried the leg when she walked, she is just a year old. Csada knew it would be expensive surgery for someone to take her. Csada had an FHO done on her hip and with extensive therapy she is now walking, running and playing on all 4 paws as she was always meant to do.
Ginger
Ginger came out of the Bakersfield SPCA as the older person who had her was not able to care for her. Today Ginger and Kiki are best of friends.
