Eight-month-old Cute as a Button was one of the first dogs to arrive through our Pledge for Paws campaign, which helps transfer animals from overcrowded shelters to Toronto Humane Society, where they can receive the care they need and find loving homes.

He arrived looking like a happy, healthy puppy—until our veterinary team discovered a large swelling on the side of his neck.

Thanks to your monthly support, we were able to perform diagnostic tests, begin treatment right away, and closely monitor his recovery. What was initially a worrying medical mystery responded well to antibiotics, and within days the swelling had almost completely disappeared.

With a clean bill of health, Cute as a Button was medically cleared and is now ready to find the loving family he deserves.
