I don't know anything about this vet, but will he not work with you on payment? Many vets will treat dogs in urgent need on a payment plan or for a discounted rate. The vet does have some money upfront. Perhaps you could work out some sort of payment schedule for the balance or put part of the bill on a credit card, so the surgery can be done? If not, maybe another vet could be more flexible. Leaving the dog at the facility on IVs seems like it might make the bill larger and prolong the dog's discomfort or pain. You're in a hard spot, and I wish both you and your poor dog the best.
OK-Special Needs Female B in Shelter
-
There is no picture of this girl but she is listed as a Basenji not a Basenji Mix. I have not contacted the shelter so I do not know if she is still available. The shelter is located just SW of Tulsa. Is there anyone close that could take a look at her?
Here is her Petfinder webpage:

Jennifer, do let us know if someone can go down and get a photo of this girl.
Maybe I missed it, what are her special needs? -
I did not see it listed either. Their Petfinder info states that they only keep animals 4-7 days and only open M-F 9-5!

One of the reasons it is so hard for people to adopt or claim their lost pets. Pet shelters that are only open when the majority of people are working. My county shelter is only open M-F 8am - noon!
