Isabella and Paige’s lives took a turn, be the reason they get a fresh start

Owner surrenders are never easy and are often the hardest ones. Meet Isabella and Paige, two dogs who were loved and once belonged to a family that cherished them. Unfortunately, life sometimes has other plans.

They came from a heartbreaking situation, but one rooted in honesty and love. Their owner recognized they needed more care than he could provide—and that selfless decision may have saved their lives.

Paige is dealing with flea allergy dermatitis, a painful but very treatable condition. With antibiotics and monthly prevention, she is expected to heal well and be feeling better soon.

But her sister, Isabella, is suffering. About a year ago, Isabella was bred and nursed puppies. Since then, one of her mammary glands has remained severely enlarged. This is normal for whelping moms, and will typically resolve on its own, but this was not the case with Bella. Instead, it has worsened.

The area is painfully swollen, red, and inflamed. Some tissue has become necrotic. She is so uncomfortable that she tried to bite when it was touched—not out of aggression, but out of pain. We don’t yet know if this is untreated mastitis or a mammary mass, but what we do know is that Isabella needs surgery. And now.

There is simply no other option if she is going to live comfortably. We are currently working with our veterinarians to obtain estimates, but based on prior experience, we expect this surgery to cost well over $1,000. We are committed to helping her live the rest of her life pain free. She deserves relief.

In addition to medical care, both Bella and Paige desperately need foster homes. They are safe right now in a temporary placement, but they need a long-term foster who can provide stability, patience, and love while they heal. All we ask is that you open your heart. Sometimes a donation is the difference between a life lived in pain—and one lived in comfort. Paige and Isabella have already lost so much. Let’s make sure what comes next is healing, safety, and hope. You can be the reason these sweet girls get a new start.
