Help Ease Shota’s Heavy Mass

Updates

• September 6, 2026

  Sweet Shota continues to make encouraging progress, and we’re so happy to see him moving in the right direction.

  After everything this senior boy endured during his 10 years without the safety and care he deserved, every positive change means so much. His surgical wound has healed well, and he continues to have a healthy appetite with normal drinking, urination, and bowel movements—wonderful signs that his body is doing well overall.

  Shota is still receiving treatment and close monitoring for the skin rash he developed. His caregivers at Baw Baw Animal Welfare are making sure he gets the medications, attention, and supportive care he needs as he continues to regain his strength.

  For the first time in a decade, Shota knows what it feels like to be safe, cared for, and loved. ❤️

  His journey isn’t over yet, though. His ongoing veterinary care, medications, treatment, and follow-up needs continue to create expenses for Baw Baw Animal Welfare.

  If you’re able, please consider making a donation today to help Shota continue his recovery. Every gift, no matter the size, helps provide the care this sweet senior boy needs as he finally gets the chance to enjoy the comfortable life he has waited so long for.

  And if you can’t donate, please share Shota’s story. Your support can help reach someone who can give.

  After 10 years of waiting, Shota deserves to know that his best days are still ahead. 🐾❤️‍🩹
