About Ribbit

Ribbit is a young Maltese/Yorkie mix with a resilience that's truly inspiring. This sweet girl is currently not available for adoption as she is undergoing medical treatment. Ribbit is a tripod, having lost one of her back legs prior to arriving at the Lowell Humane Society. She is under careful medical supervision due to a suspected SI Luxation, and further testing is needed to see if surgery might help save her. Her medical expenses are already approaching $400, and they are likely to rise. Consider supporting her care during this difficult time and helping other pets in need. Every bit counts as we work to give Ribbit the chance she deserves. Ready to make a difference?
