Crow

Born Blind, Crow Is Now Facing Seizures

La Mesa, CA • The Animal Pad

At just 2.5 years old, Crow has been navigating the world a little differently his entire life. This sweet Standard Poodle was born blind and came to The Animal Pad from a breeder who was unable to sell him or his sister because they were both born without their sight. Despite being blind, Crow is an incredibly cuddly, sweet and loving dog. He does great with other dogs and kids and loves being close to the people around him. Some of his favorite things are playing with squeaky toys, wrestling with other dogs, cuddling and, of course, eating. Since coming into the care of The Animal Pad, Crow has been working on the skills that will help him navigate life with more confidence. He is learning bathroom, crate and leash training and is even working with a blind dog specialist to help him make the most of his other senses. Crow’s blindness was evaluated by a neurologist and determined to be congenital, meaning it is a condition he was born with. More recently, however, Crow has developed another concerning medical issue. Crow has unfortunately begun suffering from seizures. He was prescribed anti-seizure medication to help manage them, but has since experienced behavioral changes following the medication. His medical needs now require continued attention as his care team works to manage his seizures and determine the best path forward for him. Being blind has never stopped Crow from enjoying his life, playing with other dogs or soaking up affection from the people around him. Now he needs help as he faces this new medical challenge. The Animal Pad is committed to giving Crow the specialized care and support he needs. Between his neurological needs, seizure management, medication and the additional support that comes with caring for a blind dog, Crow’s journey requires resources beyond routine veterinary care. Please consider donating to Crow’s fundraiser to help support his ongoing medical care. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps The Animal Pad continue providing Crow with the veterinary care, specialized support and attention he needs while he works through his seizures and adjusts to the world around him without his sight.

Dexter

Dexter Can’t Bend His Back Legs, But Nothing Stops Him

La Mesa, CA • The Animal Pad

At just 2.5 years old, Dexter has already experienced more uncertainty than any dog should. This affectionate Belgian Malinois mix once had a home and someone who loved him, but after his owner passed away, everything changed. Dexter had been living with an older woman in the Los Angeles area along with three other dogs. Following her passing, the dogs needed somewhere new to go. The other three found places with residents in the community, but no one was willing to take Dexter. He was eventually put out on the streets, where he spent approximately two days with people experiencing homelessness. Thankfully, a friend of The Animal Pad learned what had happened and reached out to the rescue for help. The Animal Pad stepped in and took Dexter into their care, ensuring he would no longer have to face his uncertain future alone. Dexter is a special needs dog with a significant condition affecting both of his rear legs. His back legs are immobile and cannot bend, and it is currently unclear whether he was born this way or suffered an injury earlier in his life. But Dexter refuses to let his legs define him. Despite his condition, Dexter is remarkably mobile. He walks upright without assistance, enjoys going on outdoor walks, and is not incontinent. He loves playing with toys and will happily join in a game of fetch or tug of war. He’s treat motivated, affectionate, cuddly, and from the way he seeks out love, it’s easy to imagine that he spent plenty of time as a lap dog with his former owner. After losing the person and home he knew, Dexter deserves stability and the chance to receive the care and support he needs for his unusual hind leg condition. The Animal Pad is committed to being there for Dexter, but caring for a special needs dog comes with additional veterinary needs and expenses. Your donation to Dexter’s fundraiser will help support the veterinary evaluation and care he needs while giving The Animal Pad the resources to continue helping dogs like him. Dexter has already lost his owner, his home, and nearly his chance at safety. Now he has The Animal Pad in his corner, and with your help, he can continue moving toward the secure and loving future he deserves. Please consider donating to Dexter’s fundraiser today. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps The Animal Pad provide Dexter with the care and support he needs as they work to give this incredibly affectionate pup the next chapter he’s been waiting for.

Zoom

Help Zoom Recover From a Life Changing Amputation

Topeka, KS • Helping Hands Humane Society, Inc.

When Zoom arrived at Helping Hands Humane Society in late March, he was underweight and had a slight limp in his left hind leg. After a few days of good food, rest, and anti-inflammatory medication, he gained weight and the limp appeared to improve. He was neutered and went up for adoption at that time. Like many shelter dogs, Zoom hit a few bumps during his humane society journey. He came down with and recovered from kennel cough and received treatment for chronic ear inflammation. Then his limp returned and became noticeably worse. Our veterinary team began another round of exams, x-rays, and orthopedic evaluations to find the cause. Those x-rays revealed that Zoom’s left hip was abnormal, and surgery was scheduled to perform a Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO). Once surgery began, however, the team discovered an old fracture that had already started healing in the wrong position. The damaged bone had fused into the hip socket, making the original surgery impossible without causing further damage. To give Zoom the best chance at a comfortable future, his vets made the difficult decision to amputate his left hind leg. Zoom’s staples are now out, his incision is healing nicely, and he has finished his medications. He has officially been cleared for adoption, but undergoing a major amputation is no small journey. Zoom is now adjusting to life as a tripod and looking for the family who will be there for his next chapter. A conservative estimate of the direct care invested in Zoom includes: • Veterinary exams and follo up care • Neuter surgery • Sedated x-rays and orthopedic diagnostics • Major orthopedic surgery (left hind leg amputation) • Pain medications and antibiotics • Treatment for kennel cough and chronic ear issues • 130+ days of food, housing, enrichment, laundry, cleaning, and daily care ($15 per day) Estimated direct care invested in Zoom: More than $3,000. These are conservative estimates of the direct medical treatment and daily care Zoom has received while at HHHS. They do not include staff time, utilities, facility costs, or the many other behind-the-scenes expenses that go into caring for a shelter dog with significant medical needs. Zoom has been through so much to get to this point, and HHHS has been there for him every step of the way. Now, they need our help covering the more than $3,000 in care that gave Zoom the chance to move forward. Please consider donating to Zoom’s fundraiser. Every donation, no matter the amount, helps cover the extensive medical care and daily support he has needed throughout his journey and helps HHHS continue providing that same level of care to animals like Zoom who need them most.

Baby Weenie

Baby Weenie is a 2 month old Dachshund in Santa Ana, CA, who needs $10,000 for Parvovirus.

Santa Ana, CA

Baby Weenie was picked up on Wednesday from Breeder as we were driving back home the pet began vomiting and having diarrhea. Pet was not eating and took her emergency vet care. Took Baby Weenie to emergency vet care and she was diagnosed with parvo. The vet bill has been growing as she needs additional hospitalization stay days and has gone beyond our means. We had only had her in our care for hours before things went south so she has spent most of her time at the hospital so we have not got a chance to bond with her. This was a very unexpected expense and what was supposed to be a happy time to adopt a puppy took an unexpected turn for the worst. We are so sad that we haven’t had a chance to spend a lot of time with her and are hoping for the best

Oreo

Oreo is a 4 year old Labrador Retriever in Apex, NC, who needs $10,000 for Wound care and possible amputation.

Apex, NC

Oreo has been part of our family since she was a puppy. We also had both of her parents, so we have loved and cared for her from the very beginning of her life. She is now four years old and has grown into a sweet, affectionate black-and-white Labrador mix who fills our home with love every day. Until today, Oreo was a healthy 4-year-old Lab mix. This morning, while walking at Jordan Lake before work, she was attacked by an off-leash dog. We rushed her to Peak Paws Advanced Veterinary Hospital in Apex. The attack nearly severed a major artery. She needs wound care every 2-3 days and may require amputation. Oreo is the gentlest dog we’ve ever known. She loves children, gets along beautifully with other dogs and even cats, and has never shown aggression toward anyone. She’s playful but always respectful of other dogs’ space. Her sweet, loving nature has made her a cherished member of our family and a friend to everyone she meets. We recently opened our own auto repair shop and have invested everything into getting our business off the ground. Because our credit is tied up with startup loans, we were denied CareCredit and Scratchpay. Oreo’s emergency care is more than we can afford today. Please help us help Oreo.

Depew, NY

Piper joined my family June of 2020. Her and her bonded mate Peter have been with me 6 years now. She is a spunky chihuahua mix chihuahua mix that does not lack in bravery. Small dog, big personality. Luckily she hasn’t had the issues her partner has until now. Piper has Periodontal Disease. One side of her mouth the teeth need to be extracted and the other sided cleaned. You can probably guess what side she chews on! Velcro girl is the best way to describe Piper. She isn’t just always by side, she is on top of me. She will not hesitate to jump on my chest for extra love. Most times she is on my side leaned over my leg with belly up. Wants pets all the time. She is the boss of Susan Dr. No one gets by Piper without me being told! I have been in and out of disability from work for two years and have a surgery 8/17/2026. This has drained my savings and am barely keeping afloat. Both dogs need dental surgery, and every ounce of support is extremely appreciated.

Chewy

Chewy is a 10 year old Jack Russell Terrier in Graham , WA, who needs $250 for Anal glad exam plus anti biotics pain meds.

Graham, WA

Chewy came into my life at 5 years young. He was in a very bad place needing rescue, and as soon as I adopted him he has been attached to my hip. He's my little shadow and really all I have in my life, being that I don't have family nor am I close to anyone. He is spoiled to the max and loves when I give him "cookies" he even does a little dance and rolls over for one. Lambchop is his favorite toy also if it squeaks even better.:) He is a very sweet cuddly boy sleeps next to me every night head on the same pillow he also knows how to say I love you. 😍 Recently I've noticed my little man's been scooting a lot, in addition to experiencing these episodes of extreme pain. 😢 He's crying, pacing, biting his tongue, drooling excessively, and his butthole is very swollen. When I tried to drain his glands myself from the outside it began to puss, which as of today went from yellow to green. I am disabled and right now am struggling financially. But Chewy cannot wait, he needs a vet. I broke my neck 2 years ago, I have no outside resources other than myself, I don't have the money to get him to a vet right now. I'm terrified if he doesn't get seen he may go septic or something much worse, he's in so much pain and I breaks my heart that I can't do a thing for him. 💔

Lexi

Lexi is a 3 year old Mix-Breed in Wilton, ME, who needs $5,000 for We are unsure of everything she will need.

Wilton, ME

Lexi was thrown out as a tiny baby puppy. My son Sean raised her from a bottle. She was found in Ok city, Oklahoma. She turned out to be half Malinois, the other half we are unsure of. My son and I are both disabled. Sean is currently waiting for his SSI for his disabilities. He has no funds and I am using all of my funds to just keep us alive. Lexi was shot with a BB gun by a neighbor with serious mental health issues and consequently ran straight into the bumper on our old RV, laying her whole right hip wide open. It was not an easy recovery process whatsoever. Lexi's had a severely difficult time recovering from the emergency vet, and continues to require further procedures and care from our regular vet (Norway Veterinary Hospital) in Maine. Lexi's expertise is dribbling a basketball to you either with her nose or forelegs. Sean has disabilities and wasn't able to retrieve her ball so she did. She tests every human that enters our yard....the propane man, the cable guy, friends, even old people. She wants to show off her skills and see what you've got! We want her to be able to get back to her old self, this has been heartbreaking! Lexi needs immediate help and some on going care for check ups after what she’s been through. My son and I are both disabled and do not have anyway to pay for what she needs. Thank you for taking the time to read about Lexi, God Bless.
