Shadow

Shadow Needed Surgery and We Couldn't Turn Our Backs on Him

Larchmont, NY • Trina & Friends K9 Rescue

Just 10 Weeks Old, Shadow Was Facing Euthanasia. He Deserved a Chance. Shadow was only 10 weeks old when his future was suddenly at risk. After arriving at Dallas Animal Services with a painful fracture in his left hind leg, he was scheduled for euthanasia because of his medical needs. He needed urgent orthopedic surgery, and time was running out. That's when Trina & Friends K9 Rescue stepped in. Shadow has a fracture near the growth plate at the lower end of his left femur, the large bone in his thigh. He was unable to put weight on his hind legs, and X-rays confirmed that the injury required surgical repair with an intramedullary pin. For a puppy this young, getting the right treatment matters. Growth plates are areas of developing bone that help determine how a puppy's legs grow. A fracture in this area requires careful orthopedic treatment because improper healing can lead to ongoing pain, abnormal bone growth, or long-term mobility problems. Shadow needed more than pain medication. He needed surgery to stabilize the fracture and give his leg the best chance to heal properly. Despite everything, Shadow has already shown the people around him just how sweet he can be. Even while hurting, this little puppy has approached people seeking affection. Shadow's surgery has now taken place at Family Pet Care in Texas, but the veterinary bills are adding up. Trina & Friends K9 Rescue has been overwhelmed with medical cases, and every new emergency brings another expense. The rescue wants to keep stepping in for dogs like Shadow, but it cannot continue doing so without support from people who believe these animals deserve a chance. Will you help us cover the cost of Shadow's orthopedic surgery and medical care? Your donation will help Trina & Friends K9 Rescue pay for the veterinary treatment Shadow needed to have his fracture repaired and begin his recovery. Every contribution helps ease the burden of his medical expenses and allows the rescue to keep helping other dogs in urgent need. Shadow was just a tiny puppy facing an unimaginable outcome because he needed medical care. Thanks to rescue, he has been given another chance. Now, we want to help him make the most of it. Please donate if you can, and share Shadow's story if you're unable to give. Together, we can help this little puppy heal and give him the chance to grow up with the happy, healthy life he deserves. ❤️🐾

Tito

Help Tito

Murphy, TX • CAMO Rescue

Tito should be spending his senior years somewhere safe, comfortable, and loved. Instead, this tiny Scottish Terrier found himself on the euthanasia list at a municipal shelter. Thankfully, CAMO Rescue stepped in just in time. Tito is estimated to be around 13 to 14 years old and weighs only 8 pounds. For such a little guy, he is carrying a long list of medical concerns that now need immediate attention. Tito has severe grade 4 dental disease, meaning his mouth is in very poor condition and he will likely need multiple painful teeth extracted. He is also vision impaired with cataracts, making it harder for him to navigate the world around him. On top of that, Tito is dealing with alopecia, along with dermatitis that has left his skin irritated and unhealthy. After everything he has already endured, this sweet old boy deserves the chance to finally feel better. Now Tito needs veterinary care to address his painful dental disease, evaluate his eyes and skin, and help him become as healthy and comfortable as possible in this next chapter of his life. CAMO Rescue said yes when Tito needed someone most. Now, they need our help giving him the care that comes after the rescue. Please consider donating toward Tito’s veterinary expenses. Every contribution helps give this fragile senior the comfort, treatment, and second chance he deserves. Tito was almost out of time. Now, because someone stepped up for him, he finally has a chance.

Tiger

Help Tiger Get the Surgery He Needs

Denver, CO • Animal Dominion Rescue

At just 7 months old, Tiger should be busy playing, climbing, and discovering the world—not recovering from a devastating fall. This sweet kitten recently fell from a balcony and suffered a broken leg. His injury is painful, and he needs surgery to repair the fracture and give him the best chance of healing properly. Tiger’s family loves him and wants to get him the treatment he needs, but the cost of the surgery is more than they can afford. Desperate to help their kitten, they reached out to Animal Dominion Rescue for assistance. Animal Dominion Rescue wants to help Tiger, but they need the support of the Waggle community to make his surgery possible. Without treatment, Tiger could face ongoing pain, impaired mobility, or complications from his injury. With the proper surgery and follow-up care, however, this young kitten has the opportunity to heal and get back to being the playful, happy cat he should be. Tiger is only 7 months old. He has his whole life ahead of him, and this accident shouldn't determine his future. Please help Animal Dominion Rescue raise the funds needed for Tiger's surgery. Every donation, no matter the amount, brings him one step closer to getting the medical care he needs and putting his broken leg behind him. If you can't donate, sharing Tiger's story can help reach someone who can. Let's give this sweet kitten the chance to heal, grow, and get back to enjoying kittenhood.

Max

Please help this elderly boy get the spleen surgery he desperately needs.

Newfoundland, NJ • Just Keep Rescuing Canines and Cats

This sweet little guy named Max was rescued by Just Keep Rescuing Canines and Cats Rescue when they found out he was being given away for free on Craiglist simply because he could no longer be used for breeding. He deserves so much better than that, and this rescue promised him he would know love, safety, and compassionate care for the rest of his life. But now they are heartbroken because he had his ultrasound with a veterinary sonographer, and the news was not what they were hoping for. The ultrasound revealed a mass on his spleen. And now this small rescue is faced with another difficult battle. They want to schedule his surgery as soon as possible, but they can't without your help. They don’t know exactly what the future holds, but they do know that Max deserves every opportunity to fight and to be as comfortable as possible. He has already overcome so much in his life, and they’re not ready to give up on him. If you’re able to help financially, no donation is too small. Every dollar brings Max one step closer to the care he desperately needs. Thank you for continuing to stand beside Max and JKRC Rescue.

Rio

Help Rio Beat The Odds

Murphy, TX • CAMO Rescue

At only six weeks old and weighing just four pounds, little Rio has already had to fight harder for his life than any puppy should. Rio was part of a litter of puppies living outside when tragedy struck. His siblings were tragically killed by other dogs, leaving Rio as the only surviving puppy. Even more heartbreaking, people knew he was there, yet this tiny, sick baby was left lying alone in a field for days. By the time CAMO Rescue learned about Rio and rushed him to the vet, he was barely hanging on. Tests revealed just how critical his condition had become. Rio was covered in fleas and suffering from hookworms. Those parasites feed on blood and can be especially dangerous for a puppy this young and small. Together, they had caused catastrophic blood loss. Rio’s red blood cell count had dropped to just 3%. A normal level is approximately 35–55%. His little body simply didn’t have enough blood left to keep going. Rio desperately needed an emergency blood transfusion, and without one, his rescuers feared they would lose the last surviving puppy from his litter. His veterinarian then did something incredibly special: she brought in her own dog to donate the blood Rio needed. That transfusion gave Rio a chance. He made it through the procedure, responded well, and then gave everyone another reason to hope... Rio made it through the night. ❤️‍🩹 For a puppy who had been found barely clinging to life, every one of these milestones is huge. But Rio is not out of the woods yet. His tiny body has been through an enormous amount, and he still needs hospitalization, close monitoring, treatment for the parasites that caused his severe anemia, and supportive care as he works to regain his strength. Rio has already lost his entire litter. He spent days alone when he desperately needed someone to notice him. Now, he finally has an entire team fighting to make sure his story doesn’t end there. This little survivor has shown that he wants to keep fighting. Please donate if you can and help CAMO Rescue give Rio the care he needs to grow stronger, go home, and finally experience the puppyhood he almost never got the chance to have.

Oliver

Help Oliver Recover From Severe Neglect and Prepare for Life-Saving Heart Surgery

Houston, TX • ThisIsHouston

Oliver is only one year old, but his body tells the story of a puppy who has been through severe neglect. He was surrendered to an emergency veterinary clinic after being severely starved and neglected, arriving with a body condition score of just 1/10. He was critically weak, anemic, and in desperate need of medical care. The emergency vet hospital reached out to This Is Houston for help and we immediately agreed to take him under our rescue. Then veterinarians discovered something else that could have cost Oliver his life: his stomach was packed with foreign material. X-rays showed a large amount of material bunched up inside his stomach. The plan was initially to try to remove it with a scope. But Oliver was an extremely high-risk anesthesia patient, and there was no guarantee the material could be safely retrieved that way. And when surgeons finally opened his stomach, they discovered just how much Oliver had swallowed. Inside was a large sock, completely bunched up in his stomach, along with several pieces of hard blue and black plastic. The sock may have been something Oliver swallowed while desperately searching for something to eat. After being so severely starved, his body was in survival mode, and whatever happened, the result was a dangerous obstruction that left him critically ill. Thankfully, his surgical team was able to remove everything. Before the procedure, his vets discovered that he has a grade 6/6 heart murmur. A cardiac ultrasound confirmed that Oliver has a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), a blood vessel that should have closed shortly after birth but remained open. Combined with his severe anemia and overall weakness, this made anesthesia especially dangerous. the vets knew there was a very real risk — but Oliver needed the foreign material removed. Thankfully, Oliver fought his way through su rgery. He had minimal blood loss and handled anesthesia better than expected. For this little dog who arrived so sick and so thin, making it through this operation was a huge victory. Now, for the first time, Oliver can begin to heal without something obstructing his stomach. He can eat. He can digest his food. He can start putting on weight. He can rebuild the strength that was taken from him through neglect. But his journey isn't over. Once Oliver is stronger and healthier, he will still need surgery to correct his PDA and give his heart the best chance at supporting a normal life. Right now, though, we're celebrating one enormous step forward: the sock, plastic, and other foreign material are out. Oliver has already fought so hard to survive. Now he needs help recovering from everything his little body has endured. Please donate to help This Is Houston provide Oliver with the continued veterinary care, recovery support, and future heart surgery he needs. He should have been given a full bowl of food and a safe place to sleep. Instead, he was left starving and searching for something — anything — to eat. Now we're fighting to give him the healthy, happy life he deserves. ❤️‍🩹
