Sebastian’s Second Chance

November 28, 2023

By Chelsea Jones

Your donations today help animals like Sebastian. Read on to hear his story from his incredible, strong, loving mom.

“I relocated to the mainland from Hawaii with my dog Sebastian. A job I was offered fell through and that left me in what I initially thought would be just a predicament but quickly turned into a crisis. My dog developed an ear infection due to food allergies and, being in a completely different environment, he became allergic to that too. I contacted AWLA to ask for guidance regarding Sebastian’s ear infection and Shaukeria was the AWLA team member who responded to my email. I was not expecting the rapid response, or the assistance I have received for Sebastian. He was seen immediately at a vet and his ear infection was treated really well and very quickly.

I thought that would be the end of the assistance but it was not. My journey had gotten to a critical point and feeding us both was now a problem. I reached out to AWLA again to ask if they could help with food. Shaukeria jumped in and provided food and little toys for Sebastian. The relief was immense. I was becoming worried I would have to surrender him. Adam at AWLA arranged for allergy free food for Sebastian just before Thanksgiving!

I cannot adequately express my deepest gratitude. Mahalo Nui Loa.”

Thanks to you, Sebastian received the care he needed. Your donation to our Pet Pantry will ensure that other pets will too. Please click here to make your gift now.
