Thrown Away at 12, Tofu Still Deserves a Second Chance

At 12 years old, Tofu should have been spending her golden years surrounded by love and comfort.

Instead, she was cruelly thrown from a moving car and left behind.

Thankfully, a compassionate witness saw what happened and brought her to the safety of Carolina Animal Rescue and Adoption, where she is finally receiving the care she deserves.

As Tofu began settling into rescue, she developed a persistent cough and was taken to the veterinarian for evaluation. During her examination, the veterinary team discovered that she may be suffering from congestive heart failure, a serious condition that requires ongoing monitoring and treatment.

Tofu has already started heart medication in hopes of improving her condition and helping her breathe more comfortably. While her rescue team remains hopeful that the medication will help, she will continue to need veterinary care as they monitor her response to treatment and determine the best plan for her future.

This fundraiser will help cover Tofu's veterinary examinations, diagnostics, medications, and ongoing medical care as Carolina Animal Rescue and Adoption works to give this sweet senior girl the comfort and quality of life she deserves.

After everything Tofu has been through, she deserves kindness instead of cruelty, comfort instead of fear, and a future where she is surrounded by love.

Thank you for helping Carolina Animal Rescue and Adoption give Tofu the second chance she deserves.

7/31/26 Update: Tofu Is Doing Well and Still Needs Our Support

We’re happy to share an update on Tofu and how she’s doing as she continues her journey toward finding a forever home.

After developing fluid in her lungs, Tofu’s condition was successfully managed with medication. Thankfully, she has responded well to treatment and is now being weaned off the medication used to control the fluid.

However, Tofu’s heart murmur still requires ongoing monitoring. Her rescue team will need to take her for twice-yearly veterinary exams to monitor her heart and make sure her medication dosage remains appropriate. She will also need routine grooming to keep her comfortable and healthy.

Tofu has so much love to give.

She is quiet, incredibly relaxed, and absolutely loves to snuggle. Her sweet personality has earned her the title of our tiny little Chewbacca, and we think it suits her perfectly. ❤️

Your donations will help Carolina Animal Rescue and Adoption continue providing Tofu with the veterinary monitoring, medication, grooming, and ongoing care she needs.

Tofu is doing well today, and we want to help keep her that way. She deserves to spend her golden years feeling comfortable, receiving the care she needs, and knowing just how loved she is.

Thank you for continuing to support this very special little girl. ❤️
