Chance – D&A Animal Rescue
Frail, Defeated, & Wounded Pup Left To Deteriorate Among The Trash
This guy is getting stronger every day!! He is at the vet now getting surgery. The report given of his condition was sobering. He has what seems to be an old fracture of his spine. The vet says it has healed wrong, but corrective surgery is too risky. In his opinion, that should be left alone and will need to be kept on anti-inflammatory medications. His degloved penis is also a concern as it is very painful. So he will get that fixed at the same time he is getting his neuter done.
We are in a very urgent situation. Our donations have stalled and we are close to $10k in specialist bills for these 3 really sick dogs — Wendy, Chocolate, and Chance. We are trying to do right by them, and they will get their treatments and surgeries no matter what. But, unless we can recoup these urgent expenses, we will be forced to close intake…

Dade – Mutty Paws Rescue
4-Week-Old Puppy Endured Horrific Torture, Is Burned By Abuser And Left For Dead
first surgery on him tonight. They will debrief his wounds, place a urinary catheter and do a deep culture on him. It is very painful and he will need to be sedated. There are talks of ordering fish skin which would be another surgery (one of many in his future). He is starting to spike a fever. It is 102.9 right now. Yesterday it was 100. The biggest concern is his becoming septic because he is immunocompromised and only 3 lbs.
Multiple people have commented that we should humanely euthanize him. We questioned that with the er doctor and they do not see a reason to euthanize him. Yes, what he is going through is a lot on him but he deserves every chance at life. If any of our doctors on his case recommended euthanasia, that would be a different story but if you’ve followed us over the years .. we do not just simply euthanize. We have an amazing village and as long as the support comes in, we will give him every single chance possible.
Dade is still in critical condition and the next few days will be critical. We were quoted verbally $10,000 for the surgeries alone. In total, we will be looking at well over $20,000 between surgeries and hospitalization when all is said and done. He will not be discharged for quite a while. Our village has been absolutely AMAZING with support and we can not ever tell you just how thankful we are. Please pray with everything you’ve got. We are #DadesArmy

Robin – Friends of Faye
Pup Met With Excruciating Pain As Her Face Was Ripped Open From Attacks
Really. Really. Really could use some better news.
Rundown in layman’s terms because I’ll mess it up if I try to be smart 😎 1. Osteomyelitis – infection has eaten away much of her bone (X-ray photo showing degeneration) 2. She’s not healthy enough for another surgery just yet. 3. Needs to gain weight. 4. Sent a culture out today of her leg and it will take a week to get back. 5. Adding yet another antibiotic (clindamycin) because it’s the only one we really haven’t tried of the full spectrum drugs. 6. When culture comes back we will know what we are fighting. 7. She’s adding trazadone because we need her to be real chill – in hopes she doesn’t break/fracture that leg and adding on stronger pain meds.
Ultimately, we are preparing her to require amputation but hope for the best that Clind will knock it out while we wait. Worst case, we will be required to amputate. We are sick over this news… but remaining hopeful. 😩😩😩 We will keep everyone updated over the next week, but it’s currently feeling like one step forward, two steps back…. But THIS DOG IS DO DANG HAPPY!!! We will fight for her, because no one has ever fought for her.

Jodah – Tristate Noah Project
Blind Homeless Cat Critically Hospitalized After Getting Shot At Close Range
Last night our blind boy who was shot and has been hospitalized with Dr. Jaax for just over a week, went into a foster home. Now that he doesn’t need an IV 24/7 and he’s finally producing red blood cells on his own, we wanted to give him a quieter environment with a little more one-on-one attention. He needed a medical foster as his wounds aren’t healing as we hoped. They’re still seeping and require frequent cleaning. He’s had almost every test imaginable run on him, including skin cultures.
In addition to everything he is battling coccidia and roundworms. On a positive note, his one eye is not ruptured. He has so much mucus seeping out of it that it was difficult to even see it was in there. He has eye drops and meds in hopes he can regain even a little vision but the other will need to come out once he’s healed a little more. His foster named him Jodah, which means Brave Warrior and he has certainly earned that name. He has a long road to recovery ahead but we will be standing by his side every step of the way.
If you’d like to donate toward sweet Jodah’s care, we would greatly appreciate it as he has accumulated an extensive bill already. Thank you in advance for supporting him on his journey to recovery.
