Mildred’s Mission

Mildred
During our May 2019 visit to the shelter, we fell in love with Mildred, a little old lady who we managed to save from the courtyard. It was obvious she had had a very hard life on the streets and had an old leg injury. We had high hopes for Mildred.
We knew she wouldn’t adapt well to a life in a home, but our plan was to get her leg fixed and then bring her to Woodfield to live out the rest of her days surrounded by love. Unfortunately, it wasn’t meant to be. Even though she managed to get over her fear of humans, she couldn’t get over her medical conditions.
A hard life on the streets without medical attention meant she was riddled with untreatable heart worm, a nasty tickborne disease and several other fatal ailments. The kindest option was to put her to sleep.

The Mission
Mildred only got 5 weeks of love and we at Woodfield can’t stand by and watch more dogs go through that for nothing. 5 weeks of love is not enough!
Spay and neuter is the ONLY way to prevent more dogs like Mildred suffering a life of hardship, of pain and deprivation. Facing abuse, starvation, illness or being killed or injured on the roads. Risking being taken from the streets by the dog catchers and thrown in a kill shelter to be disposed of as a number. As nothing!
That is why we have started Mildred’s Mission to spay and neuter as many dogs as we can!
