One day, while his owner, Mike, was cooking in the kitchen, Gregory the baby goat managed to unlock the front door and sneak out to graze in the front yard. His curiosity got the better of him, and as he headed down the road in search of more tasty greenery, he was accidentally hit by a neighbor's car.
Mike ran outside to find Gregory's rear left leg completely mangled after getting stuck underneath the car's tire. He rushed Gregory to a shelter, only to find that the cost to fix his leg was overwhelming. "I am already barely surviving on minimum wage," says Mike. "I felt hopeless because the surgery cost was so out of my league, and I don't have friends or family who could help me."

Personal representatives from the Ruth Wathen estate, Ron and Karen Gibbons, present the charitable donation to PetAid Board President, Meg Armstrong (right).
PetAid was deeply honored last month to receive a donation from the estate of Ruth Wathen and her late husband, Al. Ruth and Al wanted to leave their money to an organization that would help animals.
Pet owners themselves, they dearly loved their rescue dogs, a Great Dane and a German Shepherd who loved to ride in the back of their convertible with the top down. Neither Ruth nor Al wanted a grave site or marker, and their donation has been recognized as their lasting legacy in providing the care, comfort, and protection that all animals deserve to receive.
