Mona Pants Foundation

This little guy was born with badly deformed front legs...at a glance, he looks like he's just crouching...the reality is his front legs are bent...bones are not where they are supposed to be and things are not connected where they should be connected. He has been seen a veterinarian...his xrays and video have been shown to 2 orthopedics and the news is not great. We were contacted by Miss Megan with Black Tie Boston Rescue about him and told this incredibly sad story..."Cletus" and his brother Nugget were surrendered to rescue...basically, because both were 'damaged merchandise'...unsellable...not worth anything. His brother Nugget has a cleft palette and will be fine...this little guy...is going to need a Pants miracle. We know this may be long road ahead...we may not always get the news we want, but we are determined to try. The name Cletus means "illustrious," "called forth," or "invoked" and all I can say is that when we saw his photo...WE felt "invoked", we felt "called forth", and we felt inspired to help. This world has become a crazy place and I believe this little guy has come along to INVOKE all of us to be better bananas and to inspire hope. This morning, I have contacted 2 trusted orthopedic surgeons that I know...one in Jupiter Florida who operated on Cooperton ACL and another in SC who adopted a dog from me a lifetime ago. Im hoping they see something that the other 2 vets didnt see...Im hoping they see a way forward. We are hoping for a miracle. We put together a quick Slamazon Wish List as Cletus has some special needs. He slides on the wood floors, so we need some pads to put down to make a pathways for him. (we opted for pee pads/rugs that are washable) He is in FULL puppy teething mode, so he definitely needs some chew toys. We want to get him his own bed, some activity mats and a play pen for outside. He does better in our front yard that in the back...its more level and the 'grass' is soft and cushy. We want to put up a pen so we can let him have some freedom to do his business where he can be safe. We also need a carseat for him as we will most likely have a lot of vet visits in our future along with a harness and leash. We welcome any other ideas or suggestions as this is new territory for us. Right now, Cletus is happy & pain free...and its our mission to keep him that way. We are going to need a village for this one...Cletus will come to the shop everyday...he's a gift that needs to be shared so stop by if youre local <3

The Chicago Fire Department is the 2nd largest department in the United States! The department answers approximately 888,110 calls a year.  Recently The Mona Pants Foundation was asked to provide 100 pet oxygen masks to their organization. Every week we get requests for the pet oxygen masks but we have NEVER had this large of an order!  We want every pet in America to be safe and get the help they need in emergencies.  We can do this with your help!  Our goal is $9000. This will fully fund this mission.
