About this Article

When Mona was 9 weeks old, the owner of the Siberian husky puppy had a decision to make: euthanize the sick dog or find her a home that could afford to pay for the veterinary treatment she undoubtedly would need. She chose the latter, a decision that not only could save Mona's life, but countless other pets through the creation of Mona's Miracle Fund, a foundation to help animals with special needs.
