			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img alt="" height="112" src="http://www.lowellhumanesociety.org/wp-content/uploads/image/natalia3.jpg" width="150" />Some days are so heartbreaking for the staff, but those are the days that we truly make a difference. When Natalia came to the shelter this week, she could barely hold her head up and couldn&#39;t be touched she was in so much pain. This poor girl was matted from head to toe and we immediately noticed the foul smell of infection. Her ear was the source of the smell and it was swollen to about 3 times its normal size.</p>
<p>Natalia was taken to the veterinarian right away and it was soon discovered she had an elastic band wrapped around her ear. The band caused severe damage to her ear and as a result, her entire outer ear needed to be amputated. While being groomed (her face still needs a bit of work) another band was discovered on her tail. Lucky for her, this one was not as tight and only resulted in a bruise. Like so many others we see, Natalia is a survivor. After enduring hours of surgery, Natalia is now on the mend. Please help Natalia with her recovery process by donating to the Lowell Humane Society today.</p>
<p>You can visit her page at <a href="http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/jill-oconnell/pleasehelpnatalia">http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/jill-oconnell/pleasehelpnatalia</a>&nbsp;and make a donation towards her care.</p>

<p><strong>Reduced Cost Spay/Neuter and Vaccination Program for Local Pit Bulls</strong></p>
<p>The Pit Pals program was created by the MSPCA to address the high rates of homelessness and euthanasia of Pit Bull and Pit Bull mixes in Massachusetts. There are currently not enough homes in our community for the numbers of Pit bulls who are brought into shelters and animal control facilities. The Pit Pals program offers a responsible solution to reducing the population of Pit Bulls to a manageable number through offering affordable spaying and neutering.</p>
<p>The Pit Pals Program offers direct benefits to dogs and their owners. Dog owners are required by law to have their animals vaccinated against rabies. Spaying and neutering your dog prevents testicular and ovarian cancer and also may help to alleviate unwanted behaviors such as marking, roaming, aggression towards other dogs and leg humping.</p>
<p>For more information on the program or to apply, click here: <a href="http://www.mspca.org/programs/spay-neuter/pit-pals-program-methuen.html">http://www.mspca.org/programs/spay-neuter/pit-pals-program-methuen.html</a></p>
