Help Us With Pablo's Journey!

TEAM (Teaching Everyone Animals Matter), the nonprofit affiliate of the Sacramento County Animal Shelter, is raising funds to help cover the costs of an expensive surgery needed to give Pablo the Pinto horse a chance at finding his “forever home.”

Pablo arrived at the Sacramento County Animal Shelter on Bradshaw Road in mid-February. He was seized by Animal Care and Regulation officers, along with several other horses (including a very pregnant mare), because of severe malnutrition and neglect.

With lots of good food and attention, Pablo began to flourish at the shelter. But soon after his arrival, an equine veterinary exam revealed that Pablo was suffering from a relatively rare medical condition that would require extensive urogenital surgery. Without the surgery, his adoption and health prospects would be slim.

Pablo's surgery on March 13 at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine was successful, but some post-operative concerns required a longer stay for him at UC Davis, ultimately resulting in a substantially larger vet bill for the county shelter. TEAM's Special Medical Needs Fund has helped defray some of the expenses relating to Pablo's surgery, but additional funds are still needed .

Community donations are now being sought to help pay for Pablo's remaining medical costs.
