Emmy Trujillo

Emmy Trujillo is a 10 year old Rat Terrier in Chicago, IL, who needs $950 for Cardiology Consultation/Evaluation of Heart Murmur.

Chicago, IL

10 years ago, Emmy was rehomed and became part of my family. From the moment her cage door opened & she ran up to me, we formed an unbreakable bond. She has been by my side through my hardest moments, offering unconditional love, comfort, and companionship. Emmy isn't only my dog- she is family, my best friend, and almost my entire heart. She has never given up on me or herself. Emmy is a fighter. She was seen at VCA Animal Hospital for a limp and leg pain but referred to MedVet for a Cardiology evaluation after a heart murmur was detected before proceeding with X-rays. There's a chance it's a CCL tear and arthritis. She cannot walk properly. Emmy was only seen before for having enlarged lymph nodes, once under her neck, and they resolved completely 2 years ago. She's otherwise been healthy For over a decade, Emmy has been the heart of my family. She adores our children, loves making friends, and greets us like we've been gone for years, even after 10 minutes. She's gentle, affectionate, endlessly loving, and fiercely protective of her family--even getting upset when she thinks we're hurting. From cuddling under blankets to making us laugh every day, Emmy is far more than a pet to me Financial help would mean giving Emmy more time to live the happy life she loves, and I want to be there for her now too. While I recover in a wheelchair from my own leg injury, I dream of the day we will watch each other heal and can walk and run side by side again.

A Split-Second Accident Put Draco's Life in Danger—Now He Needs Your Help

WHITESTONE, NY • NYC Second Chance Rescue

Draco has already beaten the odds once. Now, he's fighting through another life-threatening emergency. Nearly a year ago, NYC Second Chance Animal Rescue saved Draco from the New York City Animal Care Centers (ACC) after he developed a serious upper respiratory infection. The municipal shelter didn't have the resources to provide the medical care he desperately needed, so the rescue stepped in, giving him the chance to heal and start over. Draco recovered beautifully and settled into a loving foster home, where he has been safe, happy, and deeply loved ever since. Then, in a split second, everything changed. After accidentally swallowing a piece of a rubber yoga mat, Draco's foster family rushed him to the emergency hospital as soon as they realized what had happened. Veterinarians explained that the rubber material could absorb stomach fluids, expand, and create a life-threatening intestinal blockage if it wasn't removed immediately. The veterinary team first attempted to retrieve the object using a minimally invasive procedure, hoping to spare Draco from major surgery. Unfortunately, the procedure was unsuccessful, leaving the team with no choice but to perform emergency abdominal surgery to remove the foreign object and save his life. Draco is now recovering, but this unexpected emergency has created overwhelming veterinary expenses. NYC Second Chance Animal Rescue never hesitated to approve the lifesaving care Draco needed. They made the decision every rescue hopes they can make—that cost would never stand in the way of saving one of their animals. Now they need your help. Emergency diagnostics, anesthesia, specialized procedures, abdominal surgery, hospitalization, pain management, and follow-up care come at a significant cost, placing an unexpected financial burden on the rescue. Will you help Draco recover from this frightening ordeal? Every tax-deductible donation, no matter the amount, will go directly toward Draco's emergency medical care and recovery. If you're unable to donate today, sharing his story could help him reach someone who can. This was a heartbreaking accident that can happen even in the most loving and attentive homes. Draco's foster family acted immediately, giving him the best possible chance to survive. Draco has already overcome so much in his young life. Thanks to the compassion of his rescue, he was given a second chance once before. With your support, he can recover from this emergency and continue the happy life he was finally beginning to enjoy.
