After numerous veterinary visits, we were advised to take her to the Purdue University Veterinary Teaching Small Animal Hospital. Mazie was immediately evaluated by the emergency staff that night and spent two days undergoing testing and treatment. Unfortunately, we were devastated that our Mazie passed away, but found comfort in knowing that we did everything we could to give her the best care possible.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/PM_GIF_Dog_PMGeneric_ImageFocused1.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2794 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/PM_GIF_Dog_PMGeneric_ImageFocused1-300x204.jpg?resize=300%2C204\" alt=\"PM_GIF_Dog_PMGeneric_ImageFocused1\" width=\"300\" height=\"204\" \/><\/a>We were glad that we did not make decisions based on cost during Mazie\u2019s final days, rather we did what we felt would be best for her. We know that not everyone has the luxury of taking finances out of their pet\u2019s health care decision-making and this experience made us want to do something to help other people and their beloved pets who are faced with a similar situation.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cACAAF Dog Jog\u201d is an event to raise funds for the Allen County Area Assistance Fund, which will provide the opportunity for financial assistance to pet owners in Allen County and the surrounding area who require specialty treatment at the Purdue University Small Animal Hospital. We ask for your support of this event in memory of our Mazie and to help others.<\/p>\n<p>Registration Online for the \u201cDog Jog\u201d at:\u00a0 giving.purdue.edu\/fwdogjog (Type-\u00a0 giving.purdue.edu\/fwdogjog in the address bar.) ; Click on:\u00a0 RSVP<\/p>\n<p>To see a picture of our Mazie and more information on the ACAAF go to www.facebook.com\/AllenCountyAreaAssistanceFund\/<\/p>\n<p>Please help others and their beloved companions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Join the \u201cACAAF Dog Jog\u201d at Foster Park on August 20th at 10:00 am. to support the Allen County<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","nf_dc_page":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1338,6],"tags":[5676,5675,220],"class_list":["post-14844","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-area-fairs","category-community","tag-acaaf","tag-dog-jog","tag-new-haven"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2YQd9-3Rq","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-29 00:12:09","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14844","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14844"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14844\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14844"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14844"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14844"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
