Oliver

Help Oliver Recover From Severe Neglect and Prepare for Life-Saving Heart Surgery

Houston, TX • ThisIsHouston

Oliver is only one year old, but his body tells the story of a puppy who has been through severe neglect. He was surrendered to an emergency veterinary clinic after being severely starved and neglected, arriving with a body condition score of just 1/10. He was critically weak, anemic, and in desperate need of medical care. The emergency vet hospital reached out to This Is Houston for help and we immediately agreed to take him under our rescue. Then veterinarians discovered something else that could have cost Oliver his life: his stomach was packed with foreign material. X-rays showed a large amount of material bunched up inside his stomach. The plan was initially to try to remove it with a scope. But Oliver was an extremely high-risk anesthesia patient, and there was no guarantee the material could be safely retrieved that way. And when surgeons finally opened his stomach, they discovered just how much Oliver had swallowed. Inside was a large sock, completely bunched up in his stomach, along with several pieces of hard blue and black plastic. The sock may have been something Oliver swallowed while desperately searching for something to eat. After being so severely starved, his body was in survival mode, and whatever happened, the result was a dangerous obstruction that left him critically ill. Thankfully, his surgical team was able to remove everything. Before the procedure, his vets discovered that he has a grade 6/6 heart murmur. A cardiac ultrasound confirmed that Oliver has a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), a blood vessel that should have closed shortly after birth but remained open. Combined with his severe anemia and overall weakness, this made anesthesia especially dangerous. the vets knew there was a very real risk — but Oliver needed the foreign material removed. Thankfully, Oliver fought his way through su rgery. He had minimal blood loss and handled anesthesia better than expected. For this little dog who arrived so sick and so thin, making it through this operation was a huge victory. Now, for the first time, Oliver can begin to heal without something obstructing his stomach. He can eat. He can digest his food. He can start putting on weight. He can rebuild the strength that was taken from him through neglect. But his journey isn't over. Once Oliver is stronger and healthier, he will still need surgery to correct his PDA and give his heart the best chance at supporting a normal life. Right now, though, we're celebrating one enormous step forward: the sock, plastic, and other foreign material are out. Oliver has already fought so hard to survive. Now he needs help recovering from everything his little body has endured. Please donate to help This Is Houston provide Oliver with the continued veterinary care, recovery support, and future heart surgery he needs. He should have been given a full bowl of food and a safe place to sleep. Instead, he was left starving and searching for something — anything — to eat. Now we're fighting to give him the healthy, happy life he deserves. ❤️‍🩹

Jupiter

Help Jupiter get X-rays

Magnolia, TX • Magnolia Tails Rescue

Our sweet Jupiter has been dealing with a persistent cough that just won’t go away. She has already gone through three rounds of antibiotics, but unfortunately, the cough is still present. Because she isn’t responding to antibiotics, our veterinarian has recommended chest X-rays with a radiologist’s interpretation to help determine what is actually going on and why she continues to cough. Her treatment plan is estimated at $637.30–$662.30, which includes her chest X-rays, sedation needed for the imaging, and a STAT radiology interpretation. We don’t want to keep guessing or continue putting her through medications without knowing what we’re treating. Jupiter deserves answers and the appropriate care she needs to get better. ❤️ As a small rescue, unexpected diagnostic expenses like this can be overwhelming, especially while caring for so many other medical cases. Any donation, no matter how small, helps us get Jupiter the answers she needs. If you can’t donate, sharing her story means just as much. 🐾 Please help us get Jupiter answers.

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. 🐾❤️
