Owl

Owl Is Fighting to Survive After Unthinkable Cruelty

WHITESTONE, NY • NYC Second Chance Rescue

What happened to Owl was not simple neglect. It was prolonged, heartbreaking cruelty. Someone appears to have watched this beautiful dog slowly starve until she became so weak that she could no longer stand. Her nails grew horrifically long and curled beneath her paws. Sores developed across her skeletal body. Her tail became necrotic. And when she was finally abandoned, she was simply dumped on a Brooklyn sidewalk and left there. Owl was found near Owl’s Head Park unable to walk and barely strong enough to survive. Estimated to be just 5–7 years old, Owl may have spent years—possibly half of her life—with the person who allowed this to happen to her. Her condition tells the devastating story of prolonged starvation and suffering. When she arrived at NYC Second Chance Rescue, Owl was severely emaciated, extremely weak, and unable to stand. Her body was covered in pressure sores over the areas where bone protruded beneath her skin. Her nails were so severely overgrown and curled that they showed just how long she had been neglected. Her tail tip has become necrotic and ulcerated, and she may require surgery or even amputation. Bloodwork revealed significantly elevated liver enzymes, showing just how severely her body has been affected by prolonged starvation. Owl also has a heart murmur and severe dental disease, adding even more challenges to an already critical situation. Right now, Owl requires around-the-clock medical care and extremely close monitoring for refeeding syndrome. After prolonged starvation, simply giving a dog food again can be dangerous if it is not done carefully. Her veterinary team must slowly and cautiously nourish her while watching for potentially life-threatening complications. There are no guarantees that Owl will make it. If she does survive this critical period, she is facing weeks of hospitalization, intensive treatment, rehabilitation, and a long road toward rebuilding her strength. But for the first time in what may have been years, Owl has people fighting for her. And the rescue is also fighting for justice. They are seeking surveillance footage from cameras near Owl’s Head Park and the area where she was abandoned, hoping to identify the person responsible for what was done to her and hold them accountable. Owl never deserved this. She deserved food. She deserved medical care. She deserved a safe place to sleep. She deserved someone to protect her. Instead, she was allowed to waste away until she could barely stand—and then she was discarded. We refuse to let that be the end of her story. Her road to recovery will be long, expensive, and uncertain, but the rescue is determined to do everything possible to get Owl out of the woods and give her the life she should have had all along. Please help us save Owl. Your donation will help provide the emergency hospitalization, diagnostics, medications, nutrition, wound care, surgery, and ongoing medical treatment she desperately needs. If you can't donate, please share Owl's story. Help us reach the people who can. Owl has already survived more than any dog ever should have had to endure. Now she needs us to fight for her.

Ben Cooter Jones

This 8-week-old tiny boy was found barely alive and needs your help.

Fort Worth, TX • Spicy Whiskers Cat Rescue

A few weeks ago, this tiny boy was found barely alive on someone’s porch. He was brought to Spicy Whiskers, and for a little while, it looked like Ben was finally turning a corner. Then, suddenly, he wasn’t. They tested him for panleukopenia. Negative. They tested for Giardia. Positive. So they started treatment and hoped this little fighter would begin to bounce back. But Ben just kept getting weaker. They had to take him back to the vet. And this time, the panleuk test came back positive. Intensive hospitalization has begun, and this tiny 8-week-old boy now has a very long, very difficult road ahead of him. Ben has already fought so hard to make it this far. Now he needs us to fight alongside him. His hospitalization, treatment, medications, and supportive care are going to be expensive, and every donation—no matter how small—can help give Ben a chance. Please, if you can, consider donating toward Ben’s care. And if you can’t donate, sharing his story is just as important. Thank you for your continued support.

Gracie

Skin Cancer Cost Gracie Her Ear. Then, Vets Discovered Multiple Infected Teeth.

Grandview, TN • Flying Pigs Sanctuary

Flying Pigs Sanctuary has met more than 250 cats since January 1 of this year, and every single one matters. But then there’s Gracie. When this tiny, frail girl arrived, she was painfully thin, covered in fleas and ticks, battling a severe respiratory infection, and had a wound on her ear that refused to heal. Their vet soon gave them heartbreaking news: Gracie had skin cancer on her ear, and it needed to be amputated. Thankfully, they were able to get her strong enough for surgery, and she did amazing. 🥹❤️ But while she was under anesthesia, they discovered another painful problem— her mouth was in terrible condition, with multiple infected teeth that desperately need to be removed. Gracie has already endured far too much pain. She deserves the chance to finally know what it feels like to be healthy, comfortable, and loved. They’re committed to giving Gracie the beautiful future she deserves—but they urgently need your help. Please consider donating toward Gracie’s cancer treatment and upcoming dental surgery. Whether it’s $10, $25, or more, every donation helps them continue saying YES to cats who need us most. Gracie has suffered long enough. We’ve got her now.

Lexxi

Baby Lexxi Escaped Euthanasia and Now Needs Help

TX • Montana’s Pack Rescue

At just 8 weeks old and only about 8 pounds, Lexxi came frighteningly close to losing her life before it had even really begun. Lexxi found herself on the euthanasia list at BARC in Houston due to her orthopedic needs. Montana’s Pack Rescue stepped up and saved her just in time when no one else would. This tiny puppy is finally safe—but now she needs help healing. Lexxi has an injury to her right hind leg that is causing her to noticeably limp. There is also a firm area of swelling near the top of her leg, raising concerns that she may be suffering from a dislocation or another orthopedic injury. She needs a thorough veterinary evaluation and imaging to determine exactly what is wrong and what treatment will give her the best chance at a pain-free future. It’s heartbreaking to think that a puppy this young was facing euthanasia while also struggling with an untreated injury. Lexxi should be learning how to play, exploring the world, and discovering what it feels like to be loved—not fighting for her life. Thankfully, Montana’s Pack Rescue said yes when Lexxi had no one else. They gave her the second chance she desperately needed, and now they are committed to getting her the medical care she deserves. Funds raised through Lexxi’s Waggle campaign will help cover her veterinary examination, X-rays and other imaging, medications, treatment for her injured leg, and any additional medical care recommended by her veterinary team. Lexxi has already survived the hardest part: getting out of the shelter alive. Now she needs a community behind her as she begins the next chapter. Please donate to help this little girl heal. Every contribution brings Lexxi one step closer to running, playing, and simply getting to be the puppy she was always meant to be.

Auggie

Help Auggie Fight for His Chance to Grow Up

Ocoee, FL • clefties & coffee rescue inc

At just 3½ weeks old, Auggie is already fighting for his life. Auggie is a tiny French Bulldog puppy born with a cleft palate, a serious birth defect that has made it difficult for him to eat safely and put him at risk for dangerous complications. But Auggie’s breeder made a decision that mattered enormously: they recognized that he was declining and called us for help. At the time, the breeder did not know Auggie had a cleft palate. They only knew that he had stopped eating and was rapidly losing weight. After receiving their call on Sunday night, we immediately began searching for rescue placement and transportation, despite being closed to new intakes. When we still could not find transportation by Monday morning, we made the four-hour drive ourselves to bring him to safety. When we finally got him, we knew he was critical. Auggie weighed just 250 grams. We were told he had stopped eating and was rapidly losing weight. When we examined him, we discovered the cleft palate that was preventing him from feeding normally. He was also experiencing significant respiratory congestion caused by constant regurgitation. Food and liquid had been entering his nasal passages instead of traveling safely into his digestive system, placing his fragile body at serious risk for aspiration and pneumonia. His little body had already been fighting SO hard—and it wasn't a fight he could survive alone. We immediately started Auggie on antibiotics and nebulizer treatments to help manage his respiratory issues. Because continuing to feed him was causing ongoing regurgitation, we also made the difficult decision to begin weaning him in an effort to protect his lungs and prevent his condition from becoming even more serious. Right now, we're taking Auggie one hour at a time. The next few days—and honestly, the next several weeks—will be critical for this little fighter. He needs intensive monitoring, veterinary care, medications, respiratory treatments, and the specialized care required to give his tiny body a chance to grow stronger. We said yes to Auggie because we believe his life is worth fighting for. Now we need our village to help us keep fighting alongside him. Your donation will help provide the veterinary care, medications, treatments, nutrition, and ongoing support Auggie needs as he fights to survive and overcome the challenges he was born with. At only 3½ weeks old, Auggie has already had to fight harder than most puppies ever will. Please help us give this tiny boy the chance to grow up. ❤️

Bizou

Help Bring Bizou Back To Life

Alyarz Pet Club Association Inc

Bizou isn’t even five months old, but this tiny kitten has already endured more suffering than any animal should. Someone abandoned Bizou on the street, sick, weak, and unable to fend for herself. By the time she was found and taken in by Alyarz Pet Club, she was barely holding on. Her little body was exhausted, her coat was filthy and severely matted, and it was clear she desperately needed medical attention. Bizou was rushed for bloodwork, and the results revealed just how critical her condition was. Her hematocrit was only 5%. Bizou was suffering from life-threatening anemia. Her red blood cell level was so dangerously low that there was no time to wait—without an emergency blood transfusion, she might not survive. Thankfully, a matching blood donor was found, and Bizou received the lifesaving transfusion she desperately needed. But her fight is far from over. Bizou remains hospitalized and is receiving IV fluids and supportive care as veterinarians work to stabilize her. She needs continued monitoring, repeat bloodwork, medication, further testing to determine what caused her severe anemia, and whatever additional treatment is necessary to help her recover. At less than five months old, Bizou should be discovering toys, curling up somewhere safe, and experiencing the carefree life of a kitten. Instead, she is fighting for her life because someone left her behind when she needed help the most. Please consider donating to help Bizou continue fighting. Every contribution will help provide the medical care this tiny kitten needs to survive and give her the opportunity to grow up surrounded by the love and safety she deserved from the beginning. Bizou was abandoned when she was at her most vulnerable. Together, we can show her that her life matters—and that she is worth fighting for.
