About this campaign

Mama Jackie and her tiny 6-week-old daughter, Jenna, arrived at a Texas shelter as strays on August 5. Just five days later, they were scheduled for euthanasia.

They were terrified, severely matted, and desperately needed help. Jackie, only 2 years old, also had two old fractures in her front leg that could not be repaired. ShelterFree Rescue NY couldn't let these two die, and they refused to save one without the other.

They tagged them just hours before their scheduled euthanasia and a volunteer drove them to a foster home more than two hours away. For the first time, Jackie and Jenna were safe. They were bathed, fed, loved, and given the medical care they had been missing.

But their medical journey is far from over.

Both are being treated for sarcoptic mange, a highly contagious condition that can even affect humans. Jackie is also battling an upper respiratory infection, and her injured front leg is causing her significant problems. She will need an amputation and spay to finally give her a chance at a comfortable life.

Jenna is only six weeks old. She should be growing up carefree with her mother—not facing the aftermath of neglect and shelter euthanasia.

They've already incurred veterinary expenses, and Jackie's upcoming surgeries will add significantly more. They desperately need your help to keep these two together and give Mama Jackie the treatment she needs.

Please consider donating toward their medical care. Every contribution helps with their treatment, surgery, medications, and recovery.

They were given a second chance because someone said yes when the shelter was about to say goodbye. Now they need all of us to keep saying yes.
