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.

Wally

Wally’s Second Wish: Help Save His Eyesight

Hicksville, NY • Pioneers for Animal Welfare Society, Inc.

Wally is just one year old, and he should have his whole life ahead of him. Instead, this sweet Rottweiler was on the euthanasia list at our overcrowded city shelter when Pioneers for Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) stepped in to save him. He did nothing wrong. He is pure love. Wally’s first wish was granted: he is still alive. Now we need your help to grant his second wish—to live pain-free and keep his vision. Wally urgently needs double entropion surgery. Entropion is a painful condition in which the eyelids roll inward, causing the fur and eyelashes to constantly rub against the cornea. This can lead to pain, excessive tearing, squinting, corneal ulcers, and potentially permanent damage to his vision if it is left untreated. Wally is such a young boy, and he deserves the chance to grow up without living in pain. He deserves to see the world around him, play, explore, and enjoy the long and happy life he should have had all along. But right now, Wally cannot have his surgery until the funds are raised. We don't want this young dog to have to wait any longer than necessary for the care that could give him relief and protect his vision. Please help us give Wally his second chance. Every donation brings him one step closer to surgery and a future where he can finally live the pain-free life he deserves. His first wish was to stay alive. His second wish is to live without pain and keep his vision. Please help Wally’s wish come true. ❤️

Rocco

Help Rocco Heal: Injured Kitten Fighting to Save His Sight

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

When Paws & Claws Animal Welfare Society found little Rocco on the streets two days ago, the tiny kitten was in heartbreaking condition. His rescuers immediately knew he needed urgent medical attention and rushed him to the hospital. Rocco's injuries are consistent with significant trauma. His eyes were severely swollen and protruding from their sockets, suggesting that he may have been injured or beaten. He also has a painful bruise on one of his hind legs that is making it difficult for him to walk normally. Despite everything he has been through, Rocco is now safe and receiving the care he desperately needs. He is currently on medications and eye drops to reduce inflammation, protect his injured eyes, and give them the best possible chance to heal. Sadly, his future vision remains uncertain. Rocco is currently blind, and his veterinary team cannot yet determine whether he will regain his sight. They will need to monitor his progress closely as his eyes heal before they can know what his long-term prognosis will be. For such a tiny kitten, this is an overwhelming amount to endure. But Rocco has already shown how strong he is. Instead of being left to suffer alone on the streets, he now has people fighting for him and giving him the chance he deserves. Paws & Claws Animal Welfare Society is committed to giving Rocco every opportunity to heal, but his emergency hospitalization, medications, eye drops, diagnostic testing, and continued veterinary care are creating expenses the rescue desperately needs help covering. Please donate today to help Rocco receive the medical care he needs to heal. Every contribution will help Paws & Claws continue providing this vulnerable kitten with the treatment, comfort, and support he needs while his rescuers wait to see whether his precious sight can be saved. If you're unable to donate, please share Rocco's story. Together, we can help this little survivor recover and give him the safe, loving future he never had on the streets.

Rudy

Rudy Needs Us: Help This Sick Puppy Fight His Way Back

Houston, TX • ThisIsHouston

Meet Rudy. He’s just a puppy, but he has already endured more suffering than any little dog should ever know. Now, he needs our help to get his second chance. When This is Houston saw a post circulating about a puppy who had been found desperately ill and in need of help, they stepped up. Rudy was rushed to Vergi 24/7, where his condition was far more serious than anyone initially realized. Rudy had been so critically ill and unable to move that he had remained in one position for an extended period of time. As a result, he developed a severe pressure sore on his hip. A large area of hardened, dead tissue had formed over the wound and had to be removed, leaving very little healthy tissue behind. Depending on how the wound heals, Rudy may eventually need surgery to close it. He also has a painful wound over his knee. Thankfully, what initially appeared to be exposed bone turned out to be exposed tissue — but there is still very little healthy tissue available to cover the injury, meaning surgical closure may also be necessary. And sadly, the end of Rudy’s tail has become necrotic. A portion of his tail will need to be amputated. But despite everything his tiny body has been through, Rudy is fighting. His recovery has been slow, but he is making progress. Rudy has gained strength and is becoming more alert. He’s starting to show his personality, even barking at other patients as they pass his kennel. He’s showing more interest in standing, and while he still cannot walk, he is no longer the fragile little “noodle” he was when he arrived. He continues to receive range-of-motion exercises and is eating consistently every four hours. His wounds are receiving ongoing care, including specialized bandaging and hydrogel for the severe hip wound. And there is even more good news. Rudy tested negative for distemper. His bloodwork continues to improve. His temperature is staying stable, his blood sugar has remained steady, and his red blood cell count is holding at 21% following his transfusions. Most encouragingly, his white blood cell count has climbed from approximately 1.7 to 7.6 — a huge improvement from where this little puppy started. He has also been able to come out of the incubator, and his veterinary team has reduced some of the additives in his fluids as his body continues to stabilize. There is still a major hurdle ahead: Rudy’s albumin levels need to stabilize, and his wounds will require continued intensive care. His recovery may involve additional procedures, including possible surgical closure of his wounds and the necessary tail amputation. But every improved blood value matters. Every bark matters. Every attempt to stand matters. Rudy is still here. He is fighting. And now he needs us to fight alongside him. ThisisHouston stepped up when Rudy had nowhere else to turn. Now, we can help make sure they have the resources to continue giving this brave little puppy the specialized veterinary care he needs. Please donate whatever you can toward Rudy’s medical expenses. Your gift can help keep his treatment going and give this sweet puppy the chance to grow into the happy, healthy dog he was always meant to be. Slow and steady, Rudy. You’ve already come so far. ❤️

Francis

A Tiny CH Baby Alone With No One to Protect Him — Starving & Struggling Just to Stay Alive

West Palm Beach, FL • Wild Whiskers, Inc.

When CH Baby Francis appeared at a food truck, there was no mama cat beside him. No one was protecting him or making sure he had enough to eat. And because Francis has cerebellar hypoplasia (CH), he was already facing challenges that would have made life on the streets even more dangerous. CH affects coordination and balance, leaving Francis wobbly and unsteady on his feet. For a tiny kitten navigating cars, predators, and the countless dangers of life outdoors, surviving on his own was almost unimaginable.Thankfully, someone noticed Francis and reached out for help. When he entered rescue Wild Whiskers Inc., his CH was obvious—but his caregivers quickly realized something else was wrong. Francis appeared increasingly neurological and began declining. Eventually, he stopped getting out of bed. Bloodwork revealed just how serious things had become: his sodium was off the charts. His rescue team knew they couldn't give up on this tiny baby. With help from his veterinary team, Francis began an intensive treatment plan that includes twice-daily subcutaneous fluids and oral medications at home. His bloodwork has started improving—and even more encouragingly, Francis started playing again. For the first time, this little fighter began acting like the kitten he was always meant to be. Francis also receives weekly ozone treatments as part of his ongoing supportive care, and his rescue has already spent significantly on diagnostics, bloodwork, treatments, and other veterinary expenses. But Francis's medical journey isn't over. He will remain in a long-term medical foster home until his veterinarians determine that he is healthy and stable enough to be considered for adoption. Until then, his rescue must continue covering his ongoing medical care. Francis may be wobbly. He may need extra help. But he is happy, he is playing, and he is living a life worth fighting for. His rescue said yes to Francis when he had nowhere else to go. Now, they need help keeping that promise. 💙 Please donate today to help cover Francis's ongoing veterinary care. Every contribution helps provide the fluids, medications, diagnostics, monitoring, and supportive care this special little kitten needs. And if you can't donate, please share Francis's story. One share could put his fundraiser in front of someone who can help. Francis didn't get the easiest start in life. But he finally has people fighting for him—and with your help, we can make sure this brave little kitten gets every chance to keep growing, playing, and enjoying the life he fought so hard to find.
