Life is Precious is more than just a fund - it’s a lifeline for animals in urgent need. At the APCSM, we care for pets with all kinds of medical challenges, from kittens with broken paws to dogs requiring complex surgeries like spinal disc repair. In 2025 alone, we spent over $15,000 on medical care beyond routine treatments — a cost we take on because every animal deserves a chance at a healthy, happy life.
But we can’t do it alone. Your support means we can say “yes” when an animal needs emergency surgery or specialized care.

Sweet little Button was found as a stray in Brockton and brought to the APCSM by a kind-hearted Good Samaritan. She was in urgent need of care, as her right eye had ruptured and was causing her severe pain. Without hesitation, our staff rushed her to New England Animal Medical Center, where she underwent emergency surgery to remove the damaged eye. Thankfully, the procedure was a success, and Button has since made a full recovery.
Charlie came to the APCSM after her owner sadly passed away. Upon her arrival, our team noticed she was struggling to walk comfortably due to a leg injury. A consultation with a board-certified surgeon revealed a tear in her cranial cruciate ligament (CCL), requiring a specialized procedure called a Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) to help her heal. Thanks to the generosity of our incredible supporters, Charlie received the surgery she needed, and not long after, she found her forever home with a loving family!
