Pica

After Beating the Odds, Pica Needs Dental Surgery

Phoenix, AZ • Purradise Ranch

Pica was first trapped as a young kitten while living in a small feral colony, where Purradise Ranch had him neutered alongside his mother through a trap-neuter-return effort. Shortly afterward, he disappeared from the colony. Given the high number of predators in the surrounding desert, it was believed he had likely been lost to coyotes or other wildlife. Several years later, Pica unexpectedly reappeared in the same colony. He was safely trapped and brought to Purradise Ranch, where his mother had already been living. Once in sanctuary care, it became clear that Pica was not feral. While his whereabouts during those missing years remain unknown, it's possible he had been cared for by someone before returning to the colony. Last year, Pica began showing signs of dental disease and underwent surgery to have several teeth extracted. He recovered well and was comfortable for many months. Unfortunately, Pica has now developed severe stomatitis, a painful inflammatory condition affecting his mouth. The disease is causing significant pain and weight loss, and his veterinarian has recommended removing his remaining teeth to relieve his discomfort and improve his quality of life. After surviving years outdoors and finally finding safety at Purradise Ranch, Pica deserves the chance to live without constant pain. Your support will help provide the dental surgery he needs to heal and enjoy a comfortable, healthy future.

Helga

Helga is a 4 month old Dachshund in Aberdeen, WA, who needs $4,000 for Enucleation Surgery (Removal of Eye).

Aberdeen, WA

Helga and her brother Floki came to me during an out of state visit to friends and family after the loss of my long time friend of over 30yrs. The pups were living in less than ideal situation and had lost their mom at approx 4 wks old. They cried for each other whenever they were out of each other’s sight, so when asked if I would like to take them there was no option but to take them both. I don’t know exactly how it happened but I knew I needed to take her to a vet asap. I took her to Olympia Pet Emergency Hospital and was not given good news. We could try the meds to stop infection and reduce swelling and pain but there were no guarantees that she would have any sight, but that the best thing for her would be to remove the eye at a cost of at least $3500 that I did not have. Although it’s only been a few days and seems the swelling is going down some, This course of treatment may just be a short delay to her needing Enucleation surgery, it could get worse. To the point of either surgery or being euthanized. I can’t believe how short of a time I have become so attached to them. And Floki hates to be away from his sister and is so bonded. I’m dying inside for them. This definitely was not expected. I was only approved for $1200 in CareCredit and almost half of that was used for the emergency appointment. Helga should not lose her life over this or suffer any longer than necessary. Please Help if you can.

Moxy

Moxy is a 6 year old American Pit Bull Terrier in Littleton, CO, who needs $4,518 for TPLO - Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy.

Littleton, CO

We received Moxy as a puppy, a gift from a friend 6 years ago and named because she is full of spunk and playfulness. We currently live on the third floor of our apartment and she has a lot of stairs to get up and down. This task has now been made more difficult as she tore her left CCL swimming recently. She needs assistance getting back up once she goes outside for her bathroom breaks and walks. Moxy has now torn her CCL on both knees doing the activites she loves most. This will require the TPLO surgery on both of her back legs so she can have more stability and have a better quality of life climbing the stairs daily but to also be able to play and swim. We have chosen Clarity Veterinary Surgical Center in Denver, CO to do the procedures. Moxy loves to be outdoors to play fetch, swim and camp with her favorite hoomans. When we camp, she doesn't waste any time finding her favorite stick or fallen tree trunk to strut around with as soon as she get out of the car. She loves everyone, especially kids and wants to make new dog friends everywhere we go. She also loves to watch fireworks and runs to see them when she hears the big boom. Our family has experienced financial hardships this year from major unexpected car repairs and has left us in a vulnerable position prior Moxy's injury. She is the heart of our family, any donations for the surgeries she desperately needs would mean the world to her and us.

Mozart

Years of Neglect No More

Cranston, RI • Walker's Way Rescue

Mozart was found in a busy city in Rhode Island. Founder called animal control and when they arrived they couldn't believe their eyes. She thought he was dead. The ACO spent 4 hours trying to clean him and when she did she released a knot near his leg and when she did his leg just fell. His leg was so matted it cut off circulation that his leg became necrotic. When he was half shaved he was soaked with urine. This is the worst case of neglect the ACO ever seen. He spent the night at Ocean State Emergency Hospital in East Greenwich, RI. He received blood work tests, antibiotics, fluids, sedated shave down and full body cleaning. Blood work test stated white blood cells elevated and anemic. His back leg was accessed and it will need amputation once infections are cleared. He is currently on pain patch and will not be discharged until we have his doctor has pain management in place. Please consider helping this boy Mozart Augusta. UPDATE: Mozart is home resting and will be seeing a Primary Vet for pain management and leg amputation. He is also losing part of his right foot due to bone corrosion and testing for possible cancer. 8/4/26 Update: More care needed As time goes on and the more and more diagnostics are done to Mozart we are finding a very bad past. His front paw is fractured and needs a baby toe amputated as well as his leg. He has what appeared as a broken tail but that has healed at a right angle. Despite his trauma he is loving the attention of kindness. We have a lot more work to do for him.

Cow

Cow is a 3 month old American Staffordshire Terrier in Akron, , who needs $10,930 for Balloon Valvuloplasty.

Akron

This cute 16 week old munchkin named Cow, came from a breeder. He was being sold as a perfectly healthy little puppy, but upon taking him to the vet (VCA animal hospital) it was discovered this little guy had a level 5/6 heart murmur and further testing would be needed. He had a busy couple weeks going to the emergency room for x-rays, and having an echocardiogram done @metrovethospital. He is diagnosed with pulmonary stenosis which is a condition of the heart that will require a balloon valvuloplasty surgery. This surgery will open a valve in his heart so the blood can flow through the correct way. If left untreated this condition will cause congestive heart failure very soon. He has a surgery scheduled for August 26th @metrovethospital. Cow is the sweetest little puppy who reminds me more of a little kitten than a dog. He has an older brother and they are inseparable. As he gets older, he wants so badly to run around with zoomies and do all the cute things puppies do, but I was given instructions to keep him very calm until the surgery, so no more damage is done to his heart. I have taken Cow to about 5 different appointments. Now I am faced with a $10,000 surgery. Our little family would be devasted without him. He brings us so much joy with his silliness and compassion. There are so many things this little guy has not experienced.

Ellaville, GA • The Outreach Project Co

Emma was found severely underweight and suffering from old injuries to her legs that had been left to heal on their own. She also tested positive for heartworms. Her condition tells them that she has been struggling for quite some time. Emma's owners had reportedly been out of state for several weeks, with someone supposedly checking in on her.

Kusha

An Innocent Dog Paid the Price: Help Kusha Recover After Being Poisoned

Norwood, MA • Big Little Life Animal Rescue International

Kusha is a gentle neighborhood dog who has never had a family to call his own, but he has always had a community that knows and cares about him. Friendly, trusting, and especially fond of children, Kusha spent his days quietly surviving on the streets, relying on the kindness of those who stopped to feed him. Then, in a single heartbreaking moment, everything changed. A week ago, Kusha was found convulsing in the middle of town near a church. His back legs had already become paralyzed, but somehow, despite unimaginable pain, he dragged himself to the home of a man who occasionally fed him. By the following day, his front legs had stopped working as well. Unable to help financially, the man reached out to Big Little Life Animal Rescue International, desperate to save his friend. Kusha was rushed to the emergency veterinary hospital, where doctors discovered he was suffering from severe poisoning that had left him completely paralyzed. He was immediately hospitalized and began intensive treatment, including IV fluids, medications, an antidote commonly used in suspected tuberculosis medication poisoning, and around-the-clock supportive care. For nearly a week, there was little improvement, and every day felt uncertain. Then, at last, Kusha gave everyone a reason to hope. His body has finally begun responding to treatment. While he remains critically ill and has a long road ahead, that small sign of progress means he has not given up—and neither have we. As more information came to light, the heartbreaking truth emerged. The day before Kusha became ill, witnesses reported that a woman became angry after two homeless dogs barked at her while she was walking her own dog. The following day, she returned carrying food intended for those strays. Kusha had not been involved in the earlier encounter. He simply wandered over first and eagerly ate the food before the other dogs could reach it. It is believed the food had been laced with tablets used to treat tuberculosis—medication that can be fatal to dogs. Kusha was an innocent victim. Today, he continues to fight for his life. He still requires hospitalization, medications, constant monitoring, and will likely need extensive rehabilitation as doctors work to determine how much movement he can regain. His recovery will take time, and his veterinary expenses continue to grow. 💜 You can help give Kusha a second chance. Your tax-deductible donation will help cover his lifesaving medical care and rehabilitation so he can continue fighting toward recovery. Every gift, no matter the size, brings him one step closer to healing. If you're unable to donate, please consider sharing Kusha's fundraiser. Together, we can give this gentle soul the opportunity to recover from an act of unimaginable cruelty and experience the kindness he has always shown to others. Thank you for standing with Kusha and Big Little Life Animal Rescue International as they fight to save his life. 8/3/26 Update: KUSHA IS BEGINNING TO RESPOND Kusha has now spent a week at the clinic after the poisoning left him unable to use all four legs. He is finally holding his head up on his own and has started eating a little baby food. These may seem like small changes, but they are things he could not do before. Although these are encouraging signs, Kusha remains in serious condition and still cannot urinate on his own. The doctors placed a catheter and drained about 300 ml of urine. There was pus in it, which may mean he is also dealing with an infection. He has also been sent for X-rays so the doctors can better understand what else may be going on and how to continue his treatment. He still needs hospitalization, IV fluids, medications, vitamins, catheter care, more tests, and most likely rehabilitation. He is finally moving in the right direction. Please help us keep Kusha receiving the treatment he needs. Every day matters right now. 8/14/26 Update: KUSHA IS WALKING Kusha’s treatment has continued with IV fluids, medications, vitamins, and close monitoring. He has remained weak, and his back legs were still not responding normally. But finally, Kusha walked. His steps are unsteady and he is still very weak, but he got up and moved on his own legs. He also peed and pooped by himself, something he had not been able to do since the poisoning. This is real progress. Kusha still needs more IV treatment, medications, monitoring of his bladder and urinary infection, and time to rebuild strength and coordination in his legs. He is not fully recovered, but today he showed us just how far he has already come. I will never understand people who look at a homeless dog and decide his life does not matter. How does someone think it is okay to hurt a living being simply because no one is standing beside him. And then there are people who stop and do what they can. And every person who did not scroll past and helped keep his treatment going. THANK YOU! Watch the video. Kusha is walking. ❤️Please help us continue the treatment that got him this far.

Winkles

Winkles Needs Emergency Surgery to Survive a Life-Threatening Infection

Stanwood, WA • Humane Society - Western Region

Winkles' family thought they were preparing to welcome puppies. Instead, they were faced with a devastating medical emergency that threatened her life. When Winkles began showing signs of severe pain, vomiting, frequent urination, lethargy, and a swollen abdomen, her devoted mom feared she was about to give birth. Living on a limited income while caring for her mother with advanced dementia, she simply didn't have the financial resources to seek veterinary care sooner. Despite the challenges she faces—including using a wheelchair most of the time and recently being diagnosed with breast cancer—she refused to give up on Winkles and reached out to the Humane Society - Western Region for help. We immediately began calling veterinary clinics and was able to secure an emergency ultrasound that same afternoon. The results were heartbreaking. Winkles wasn't pregnant. She was suffering from a closed pyometra, a life-threatening bacterial infection that fills the uterus with pus. Without emergency surgery, the infected uterus could rupture, releasing toxins into her bloodstream and causing sepsis, septic shock, and death. Every minute mattered. The first veterinary hospital quoted nearly $2,500 for the lifesaving surgery. Fortunately, even though our regular veterinarian was unexpectedly unavailable due to his own medical emergency, another veterinarian covering the practice was able to perform the surgery within hours at a much more affordable cost. Winkles underwent emergency surgery to remove her infected uterus and ovaries before the infection became fatal. After such a difficult day, she was exhausted but finally on the road to recovery. Because the veterinary hospital was short-staffed, the veterinarian even took Winkles home to personally monitor her recovery for several days, ensuring she received the care and attention she needed. Now, the Humane Society - Western Region is asking for your help to cover the cost of Winkles' lifesaving care. ## Every contribution directly supports Winkles' emergency treatment, including: Emergency ultrasound and exam: $160 – Confirmed Winkles' life-threatening closed pyometra and allowed veterinarians to act quickly. Emergency pyometra surgery: $900 – Removed her infected uterus and ovaries before the infection could become fatal. Anesthesia: $150 – Kept Winkles safe and comfortable during her lifesaving procedure. Laboratory testing: $54 – Evaluated her health before surgery. IV catheter and fluids: $85 – Provided hydration and supported her throughout surgery and recovery. Pain medication: $30 – Helped keep Winkles comfortable after surgery. Antibiotics (Amoxicillin): $10 – Treated and prevented infection during recovery. Anti-inflammatory medication (Rimadyl): $14 – Reduced pain and inflammation as Winkles healed. Recovery e-collar: $25 – Protected her surgical incision while she recovered. Total veterinary expenses: $1,428 The Humane Society - Western Region stepped in without hesitation to save Winkles' life, making sure finances didn't stand in the way of the emergency care she desperately needed. Every dollar raised will help cover her medical expenses and allow the rescue to continue saying "yes" when another pet arrives with a life-threatening emergency. No family should have to lose a beloved companion because emergency veterinary care is out of reach. Your donation—whether it's enough to help cover medications, anesthesia, or a portion of Winkles' surgery—will make a real difference in her recovery and help ensure more pets receive the second chance they deserve. Thank you for giving Winkles the opportunity to heal, recover, and enjoy many more happy years with the family who loves her.
