Pit bull rescued from heartworms and kept alive by Viagra...now needs 1 Viagra pill a day to survive, donations accepted

NEW YORK -- A female pit bull living at a Long Island animal shelter needs donations of Viagra to stay alive, according to a spokesperson of the Little Shelter Animal Adoption Center.
Ingrid, 4, was rescued in April after being near death from heartworms, according to Marge Stein, a spokesperson for the shelter.
The shelter sought a vet who suggested giving Viagra a try to keep the dog’s blood vessels open.
“We were really worried she wouldn’t make it,” Stein said during a phone interview with WNBC.com. “There was such a turnaround after or week or so of the Viagra; she just became a new dog. She perked up and was lively, just like any other dog.”
The Adoption Center is now seeking Viagra donations from people in the area to keep Ingrid alive. Stein said the shelter cannot afford to continually pay $10 for each Viagra pill.
“If 200 people could send us just one pill, that would be good for seven months,” Stein said.
Stein said that when Ingrid is adopted, the shelter will provide a lifetime supply of Viagra to the owner.
The shelter is also accepting cash donations to purchase the little blue pills.
“Ingrid is a sweetheart of a dog that anyone would be proud or happy to own,” Stein said.
Ingrid will need one Viagra pill a day for the rest of her life.
For more information, contact the shelter at 516-883-6775.
So which LEF'er has the Viagra to donate?

Ah...you?

A Smile
A smile cost nothing, but gives so much.
It enriches those who receive it,without making poorer those who give.It takes but a moment, but the memoryof it sometimes lasts forever.
None is so rich or mighty that hecan get along without it,and none is so poor but thathe can be made rich by it.
A smile creates happiness in the home,fosters goodwill in business,and is the countersign of friendship.
It brings rest to the weary,cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad,and it is nature's best antidote for trouble.
Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed,or stolen, for it is something that is of novalue to anyone until it is given away.
Some people are too tired to give you a smile.Give them one of yours, as none needs a smileso much as he who has no more to give.

You'd think Pfizer would step up to the plate on this one, write it off as PR or something.
