But first, we wanted to share Phoenix's story - a story that is an inspiration to us all!

One animal that has changed our lives is Phoenix. When Phoenix first arrived to the emergency room, veterinarians thought she was a goner. But, after twelve minutes of CPR, Phoenix had a heartbeat. Severely emaciated, she was barely able to lift her head. She had sores all over and was too weak to even keep her body at a normal temperature. But Phoenix always had a spark in her eyes. She never gave up, so we never gave up on her, and fought hard to save her life.

Months later, she is still not out of the woods and will need another surgery. Phoenix requires intensive medical treatment and physical therapy, but is getting stronger every day. Just a few months after she was assumed dead, she is happy, loves to play ball, cuddle, and will not leave your side! Without the amazing support of community members like you, we wouldn’t be able to do what we do. Please consider submitting a photo and a contribution to help us continue to provide life saving care to Phoenix and the many other animals in need at the SPCA Cincinnati. Click here or on the images below to view other animals on our Giving Grid!
