Meatloaf

Help Save Meatloaf: A Senior Dog in Crisis

WHITESTONE, NY • NYC Second Chance Rescue

Meatloaf is a senior dog who should have been spending his golden years feeling safe and cared for. Instead, he arrived at a county shelter as a stray in heartbreaking condition—and now, he is struggling simply to breathe. His little body tells the story of prolonged neglect. His skin is red, raw, crusted, and severely inflamed, with extensive hair loss. But right now, the most urgent concern is his breathing. Meatloaf is experiencing respiratory distress, and he needs immediate veterinary attention. When the municipal shelter was preparing to close, it became clear that Meatloaf could not safely stay there overnight. He needed someone to step forward and get him to emergency care, and NYC Second Chance Rescue refused to leave him behind. Meatloaf is now in need of an urgent medical evaluation to determine what is causing his breathing difficulties and assess the many other health problems he may be facing. We don't yet know what his veterinary team will find, but we know he needs help—and he needs it now. Emergency hospitalization, diagnostic testing, medications, oxygen support, and treatment can quickly become incredibly expensive, especially for a senior dog who has clearly been without proper care for far too long. But Meatloaf deserves the chance to find out what it feels like to be safe, comfortable, and loved. Please help us get Meatloaf the emergency care he desperately needs. Your donation will help NYC Second Chance Rescue cover his hospitalization, diagnostics, medications, and ongoing treatment as his veterinary team works to stabilize him and uncover the cause of his respiratory distress. If you can't donate, sharing Meatloaf's story can be just as important. Every share helps his story reach another person who may be able to help. Meatloaf has already survived whatever he endured before arriving at the shelter. Now, he needs a chance to survive this crisis, too. Please stand with Meatloaf and help give this senior boy the chance he deserves. ❤️🐾

Odette

Help Odette Overcome a Severe Demodex Infestation

Los Angeles County, CA • Maison Sure Foundation

By the time Odette received the help she desperately needed, a severe untreated skin condition had left her in tremendous discomfort. Thankfully, Maison Sure Foundation stepped in to give Odette the chance to heal. She is battling a chronic Demodex infestation that has caused extensive inflammation and affected both her skin and eyes. Her condition became so severe that she needed to be hospitalized, where she could receive around-the-clock medical care while her body was given the time it needed to begin healing. Her treatment has been intensive. Odette is receiving multiple medications for her skin and eyes, frequent medicated baths, and consistent pain management, including methadone to keep her comfortable through the most difficult parts of her recovery. Thankfully, her testing has brought some encouraging news. Her X-rays were clear, her weight has remained stable, and while her bloodwork showed the expected signs of inflammation along with mild anemia, there were no other major concerns identified. But Odette arrived frightened and completely shut down. With her vision affected and everything around her unfamiliar, even understanding that she was finally somewhere safe would take time. Her medical team and the team at Maison Sure Foundation have been giving her that time while surrounding her with the care and comfort she needs. And slowly, they are beginning to see glimpses of the dog underneath all that discomfort. Odette's skin has already improved dramatically, and one of her eyes has begun to open. She is visual and has finally become comfortable enough to start exploring the hospital. Little by little, she is beginning to understand that she is safe and surrounded by people who want to help her. Her condition is treatable, but there is no overnight fix for what her body has endured. For now, Odette will remain hospitalized for as long as necessary while her veterinary team continues her medications, pain management, skin treatments, medicated baths, and supportive care. When she is ready, the hope is that she can move into foster care and continue the next chapter of her recovery in a home. The wins may not always come quickly, but Odette is already showing what time, treatment, and patience can do. Please consider donating to help Maison Sure Foundation with the veterinary care giving Odette the chance to heal at her own pace and finally experience the comfort she deserves.

Pearl & Lucy

Pearl and Lucy are battling calicivirus. Will you help?

Oakland, NJ • Ramapo Bergen Animal Refuge

These tiny kittens deserve relief from pain and the chance to grow up knowing love. At just six weeks old, Pearl should be chasing toys, climbing everything in sight, and learning what it means to be a carefree kitten. Instead, she is living with an eye that is painfully infected and damaged beyond repair. When RBARI's veterinary team contacted them about two tiny kittens found outside and shared Pearl's photo, they knew they couldn't turn away. Pearl and her sister, Lucy, are battling calicivirus, which is a viral infection that can be especially dangerous for young kittens, along with eye infections and malnutrition after a difficult start to life. While Lucy's eyes are expected to heal with treatment, Pearl's injury is much more severe. Their road to recovery will include medications, veterinary care, surgery, and follow-up treatment. Every donation helps RBARI provide the care they both need—not only to survive, but to thrive. They are also working to trap, spay, and provide medical care to their feral mom, who heartbreakingly appears to already be pregnant again. Their goal is to break the cycle for this little family. Your support is alwasy greatly appreciated!

Pebbles & Bam Bam

Pebbles and Bam Bam were dumped in a crate behind a Dollar General and possibly left outside for DAYS.

UPPER CHICHESTER, PA • Joyner's Furr-eedom Rescue INC

Pebbles and Bam Bam were severely neglected, painfully matted, emaciated, covered in fleas, sores and blood. Hundreds of roaches had even infested the crate. They were terrified, filthy, and in so much pain that even being touched hurt. Luckily, Joyner's Furr-eedom Rescue saved them from being outside a Dollar General story for what they think was days. Without hesitation, Squeaky Clean Dog Grooming took these two sweet, bonded babies in. They are now clean, comfortable, and safe, but their journey isn't over. They still need veterinary care, nutritious food, and time to fully recover from their ordeal before they're ready for their forever home. But their journey isn't over. They still need veterinary care, food, and continued recovery before they're ready for their forever home. Please consider donating to help Pebbles & Bam Bam get the care they desperately deserve. Every dollar helps turn their heartbreaking beginning into the happy ending they deserve. 🐾❤️

Dior

Every Breath Is a Struggle for Dior

NY, NY • NY Cat Warriors

Dior is a tiny, one-year-old Pomeranian with a huge personality and a dangerously fragile airway. He was found abandoned in poor condition by a senior volunteer with New York Cat Warriors. He had a severely matted coat and was covered in ticks and fleas. But the most frightening problem was something we could hear: a harsh, hoarse cough followed by episodes of gasping and labored breathing. Dior is a happy, affectionate little puppy who wants to play, explore and be close to people. But excitement and stress can make him pant heavily and struggle for air. Ordinary moments that should be joyful can become frightening because his airway cannot reliably remain open. Dior’s preliminary examination, bloodwork and chest X-rays have been completed. The radiology report confirmed collapse of his trachea where it enters his chest, along with collapse affecting some of his smaller airways. His condition also creates additional risk under anesthesia, particularly during recovery. Dior has now been referred to the specialists at the Schwarzman Animal Medical Center for the advanced care he needs, including an anticipated tracheal stent procedure. Estimates for Dior's surgery are exceptionally high. Funding is the obstacle standing between Dior and the specialty care that could allow him to breathe more safely and comfortably. Although New York Cat Warriors is ordinarily a cat rescue, we could not turn away this tiny abandoned dog when he needed help. We are a small, all-volunteer, foster-based organization with limited financial resources, and this balance is more than we can absorb without help. Dior is now safe in foster care with the volunteer who found him. She is seriously considering adopting him once his airway condition has been treated and he is medically cleared. Dior may already have the loving permanent home he deserves but first, we must help him breathe. Please help us raise the money needed to unlock Dior’s procedure. NYCW will remain responsible for his medications, follow-up care and recovery needs as they arise. Every donation will help turn AMC to the Rescue’s extraordinary assistance into the specialty care Dior needs and bring him closer to the secure, happy life that should have been his all along.

Goldfish

Goldfish Needs Two Surgeries for a Second Chance

Milwaukee, WI • Thrifted Kittens Animal Rescue

This happy little kitten nearly lost his life before he ever had the chance to find a family. Goldfish arrived at a local animal control as a stray with significant medical needs. One of his legs ended in a small nub, and he was also suffering from an infected, underdeveloped eye caused by microphthalmia. With no one to take responsibility for the extensive care ahead of him, Goldfish was facing euthanasia. Then Thrifted Kittens Rescue stepped in. Goldfish came into their care on July 1, and at only about 5 months old, he has already needed more medical treatment than most cats experience in a lifetime. His damaged leg continued to be a concern and ultimately required amputation surgery, which Goldfish underwent last week. Now he is preparing for another major procedure. Because his abnormal eye has continued to become infected, Goldfish will undergo an enucleation to have the affected eye removed next week. Two surgeries so close together have created a significant veterinary expense for his rescue, but Goldfish doesn't seem particularly interested in letting any of it slow him down. He is an incredibly happy, social little guy who has never met a stranger. He gets along with the other cats in his foster home, even when they aren't quite as enthusiastic about his friendship, and continues approaching life with the confidence of a kitten who has no idea he is supposed to be different. Soon, Goldfish will be navigating the world with three legs and one eye. For now, though, his focus needs to remain on his medical care and recovery before he can begin searching for a forever home. Donations to Goldfish's campaign will help Thrifted Kittens Rescue with the cost of his leg amputation, upcoming eye removal, and related veterinary care. Goldfish was given a chance when his future looked uncertain. Please consider helping his rescue cover the medical care that is giving this joyful little kitten the opportunity to heal and eventually find the family he deserves.
