West

West Was Dumped in a Hop Field With a Devastating Injury

Issaquah, WA • Pacific Rim Rescue

Six-month-old West was found with his mama, India, dumped miles from the nearest main road in the middle of the hop orchards of Washington’s Yakima Valley. Agricultural workers discovered the injured puppy and his mother, and our rescue partner on the Yakama Reservation immediately stepped in to get them to safety. West desperately needed medical attention. A massive wound stretched from his back right shoulder, around his body and toward his left chest. His fur and even the wound itself were packed with cheat grass and painful sharp awns, leaving him with extensive damage. Less than 10 hours after arriving in our care, West was at our veterinary partner undergoing emergency surgery. Once surgery began, we discovered that the damage was even more extensive than it first appeared. Our veterinary team had to enlarge the incision to carefully remove debris and damaged tissue, thoroughly clean the wound, and repair the extensive injuries. They quite literally put this little puppy back together. Now, he's receiving the wound care he needs and beginning his recovery. We don't know how West and his mama ended up abandoned in those fields, and we may never know. But we do know that West deserved better, and we are determined to support his healing. Your donation will help Pacific Rim Rescue cover the veterinary care West has already received, including his emergency surgery, wound treatment, medications, follow-up care, and the continued care he needs as he recovers. West should have been spending his puppyhood playing and growing up with his family. Instead, he was left injured and alone in a remote field. Now he has a rescue family fighting for him. Please help us give West the care he needs to heal and grow into a happy, healthy dog. Every donation and share helps us continue saying yes to dogs like West when they need us most. ❤️

Diamond

Help Diamond Recover From Her Massive Hernia Repair

Rockville, MD • Miri’s Haven Senior Dog Rescue

When Diamond arrived at Miri’s Haven Senior Dog Rescue, rescuers were stunned by what this tiny 8-year-old Chihuahua had been carrying. At just 8 pounds, Diamond had a massive inguinal hernia so severe that her abdominal organs had pushed outside of her body and were hanging between her legs, dragging along the ground. There was also a second hernia on the opposite side. It is impossible to know how long Diamond lived this way or how she survived without the hernia becoming damaged or rupturing. The situation was incredibly serious, and a specialist surgeon was brought in to give Diamond a chance. Thankfully, she made it through her surgery. But this was far more complicated than a routine hernia repair. Her surgeons carefully returned her displaced organs to her abdominal cavity and repaired both hernias using specialty surgical techniques and biological mesh to reinforce the repairs. Diamond was also spayed, and her spleen had to be removed because it had become unhealthy after spending so much time outside of her abdomen. Diamond survived the surgery—but her medical journey is far from over. The surgery cost thousands, and she now needs significant postoperative care and monitoring. The next several days are critical as her body adjusts to everything being back where it belongs and as her surgical repairs are closely monitored. Her care team must also watch carefully for complications while she heals from this extensive procedure. And there are still additional veterinary needs ahead, including a dental once Diamond is stable. That means donations are still desperately needed. Even though Diamond made it through the surgery we were all hoping she would survive, the veterinary bills did not end when she left the operating room. In fact, this is only the beginning of the care she will need to recover. Miri’s Haven made the decision to give Diamond a chance because this sweet little dog deserved to know what it feels like to be comfortable and loved. Now they need help covering the cost of the lifesaving surgery, hospitalization, medications, follow-up care, and the treatment still ahead. For now, Diamond is resting comfortably with pain medication on board. Her organs are back where they belong. Her hernias have been repaired. And most importantly, she is still here. 💜 Please consider donating toward Diamond’s ongoing medical care. Every contribution helps Miri’s Haven continue caring for her through this critical recovery and gives this tiny senior girl the chance to finally live without the enormous burden she has carried for far too long. Diamond made it through surgery. Now let's help her make it through recovery. 🙏🐾

Zues

Help Zues get the care he Deserves

Brevard County, FL • Isla's Journey Inc

Zues deserves a chance at a better life. Zues was found roaming an area known as the “compound” in Palm Bay, Florida, which is unfortunately a dumping ground for dogs. We don't know much about his past or how he ended up there, but we do know that he needs help. His skin is in seriously rough shape, and he has wounds all over his body. Now, Zues needs antibiotics, allergy medication, and high-protein food to help support his recovery. He also still needs to be neutered. Caring for Zues and getting him the care he needs comes with expenses, and his rescuers are hoping for a little help to make it possible. We're raising $1,000 to help cover Zues's medical needs, food, and neuter procedure. Every donation, whether it's $5, $10, $25, or whatever you're able to give, even a share can help get Zues one step closer to feeling better. Zues's past may be a mystery, but his future can be filled with care, comfort, and love. With your support, we can help give this boy the fresh start he deserves. Please consider donating or sharing Zues's story. Every bit of support makes a difference and is greatly appreciated!

Sugar

Sugar's Tiny World Was Shattered: Help Save His Injured Eye

White Plains, MD • Paws & Claws Animal Welfare Society Inc.

Sugar is only three months old. At an age when he should be discovering the world, playing with toys, and curling up somewhere warm and safe, this tiny kitten has already experienced unimaginable cruelty. After being abandoned by his owner, Sugar was left to fend for himself on the streets. Instead of finding kindness, he was reportedly abused and beaten, suffering severe trauma to his eye. This innocent baby, who should have been protected and loved, was left injured and vulnerable through no fault of his own. Thankfully, Paws and Claws Animal Welfare has stepped in to give Sugar the chance he deserves. But his road to recovery is only beginning. Sugar's eye has sustained severe trauma, and right now, the rescue is doing everything possible to determine whether it can be saved. The first priority is to stabilize him and begin treatment with medication to address his injury and give his eye the best possible chance of healing. His condition will need to be closely monitored as the veterinary team assesses his response to treatment. There is still uncertainty about what the future holds. If the damage is too severe and his eye cannot be saved, Sugar will need surgery to have it removed. No matter what happens, he deserves relief from his pain and the opportunity to grow up without fear. Emergency veterinary evaluations, medications, follow-up visits, and potentially surgery will create significant expenses for Paws and Claws Animal Welfare. The rescue is committed to helping Sugar, but they cannot do it alone. Your donation will help cover his veterinary treatment, medication, monitoring, and possible eye removal surgery if it becomes necessary. Sugar cannot change what happened to him. He cannot tell us how frightened or painful this experience has been. But we can make sure that his story doesn't end with suffering. At just three months old, he still has his whole life ahead of him. Whether he ultimately keeps his eye or needs surgery, he deserves to heal, feel safe, and discover what it means to be loved. Please donate today to help Sugar receive the treatment he desperately needs. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings him one step closer to a brighter future. If you cannot donate, sharing his story can help us reach someone who can. Let's show Sugar that even after experiencing cruelty, there are people who will fight for him, protect him, and give him the chance to grow into the happy, loved cat he was always meant to be. ❤️🐾

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.
