Pooches: Shy's Cataract Surgery & Pet Rescue Advice

This is Shy. Shy of the crazy bat-wing ears, dainty paws, and sweet disposition. We first wrote about her here.While Shy experienced severe neglect, and a painful illness, she has remained loving and trusting of people throughout her whole ordeal. You can tell how sweet and well-mannered she is in this video:

Shy is still living at the animal hospital, and looking for her foster or forever home. While she has been doing well, one of the lasting effects from her neglect is that she has developed cataracts and is rapidly losing vision. Fortunately, there is a specialized surgery that can help her regain full sight in her eye. While Shy is getting a discounted rate, the surgery is still quite expensive.
We know so many of you are dog-lovers, so we were hoping people could help spread the word and/or contribute to Shy's fundraising page found here.
Maybe you are greatful someone took a chance on your dog and you want to pay it forward? Or maybe you made a New Year's resolution to donate money or help dogs in need? Here's your chance.
1) Shy's ChipIn fundraising page to donate for her cataract surgery is here. Even if you can only give a few dollars that would help.
2) You can also join Shy's Facebook page here.
3) Please spread the word about Shy. We created a button link on the side of our page that you can copy to spread the word.

Update: Heather, a third-year veterinary student at the University of Illinois, is the contact trying to find Shy a home. She writes a blog about veterinary school here. If you haven’t stopped by, here is what Heather has to say in her own words:

Here I am, sitting in Radiology lab/class. In between classes just now, I checked the blogs that I love reading daily and A posted about Shy again and created a button on their blog that directly links to Shy's ChipIn page for her cataract surgery. Before I knew it, I had 7 donations totalling just about a hundred dollars - from my mom, and 6 people that I have never met. To my mom and those 6 people - Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I know I am sitting in class right now, but I can't stop my eyes from welling up with tears, I'm actually on the verge of sobbing. I can't even fathom the generosity of people - strangers - that I don't know, but share our same love for animals and are willing to share their hard earned dollars with Shy - to help a dog that they have never met, except through pictures and videos.
Shoot, my nose is running now... this could get embarassing as I sit here sniffling...

I never realized what an awesome community that bloggers form - we all have our own lives, but it is so amazing to see into the lives of other people and for those same people to give their time and money for such a great lady - sweet sweet Shy shy :)

 We would also love to hear any of your suggestions or recommendations to spread the word and/or raise funds. We were thinking of having an online raffle. Has anyone done this?
