Maizy

Help Maizy get a dental procedure— Merriam, KS

Merriam, KS

We got Maizy from a shelter. Her mother and 5 siblings were left in a crate beside a dumpster in 105 degree weather. The puppies were Les than two months old. The vet is recommending a dental procedure. We love her so much. We don’t want her to have medical problems down the road due to problems with her teeth. We are on a fixed income and just don’t have the funds for the procedure.

Vanili Help Vanili Stop the Pain — Grade IV Dental Surgery (Bonded to Choco)

Help Vanili get Full dental treatment for Grade IV periodontal disease — Brookyn, NY

Brookyn, NY

Vanili is a 5-year-old tan mixed-breed girl, seven and a half pounds of sweetness. She survived the streets as a stray but never alone: she arrived at NYC's Animal Care Centers with Choco, her bonded companion. This week I adopted them together, because a bond like theirs is not something you separate. At Park Slope Veterinary Center, Vanili was diagnosed with Grade IV periodontal disease the worst mouth of the pair. Her written estimate: $2,507.55, with ~5 tooth extractions expected (the clinic calls before extracting). Her dental comes first, then Choco's. Vanili is gentle in the way small survivors are watchful, patient, always near her boy. She and Choco do everything together: arrived together, were adopted together, and will heal together. (Vet Wheels offer a lower cost for the procedures.) ACC covered vaccines, spay/neuter, chips, vouchers, food. I've paid the rest but two Grade IV dentals exceed my fixed income. Goal $1000 funds Vanili's dental at Park Slope (written estimate $2,507.55 attached). Donations go directly to the VetWheels. Choco's campaign is live too.

Choco

Help Choco get Full dental treatment for Grade IV periodontal disease — Brooklyn, NY

Brooklyn, NY

Choco is a 6-year-old black mixed-breed boy, about 8 pounds of courage. He survived the streets as a stray but never alone: he arrived at NYC's Animal Care Centers holding tight to Vanili, his bonded companion. This week I adopted them together, because a bond like theirs is not something you separate. At his first vet visit, Choco was diagnosed with Grade IV periodontal disease, advanced, painful dental disease. His written estimate: $2,164.80, before the extractions by Park Slope Veterinary Center, Vanili's mouth tested even worse she already chews on one side from pain so her dental comes first, then Choco's, at lower-cost nonprofit clinics. Choco leans into every hand that reaches for him even after everything, he trusts people completely. And he watches for Vanili: wherever she goes, he follows. They were brought in together, adopted together, and they heal together. When his mouth stops hurting, he'll finally play like the puppy his heart still is. ACC covered vaccines, spay/neuter, microchips, vouchers, food. I've paid the rest — but two Grade IV dentals exceed my fixed income. Goal $900 covers Choco's dental at Vet Wheels (Bushwick). Funds go directly to the clinic. Vanili's campaign follows.

Jackson

Jackson Deserves a Second Chance: Help Fund His Lifesaving Surgery

Royal Palm Beach, FL • My Why Rescue

Jackson’s story could have ended at a county shelter. Instead, This Is Why Rescue stepped up to give him the chance he desperately needed. Now, after surviving a medical crisis, this sweet boy is facing another major hurdle—and he needs our help to get through it. When Jackson was found in a residential yard, he was reportedly suffering from an injury and struggling in the heat. At approximately 4–5 years old, he should have had so much life ahead of him. Instead, he found himself in a shelter, facing an uncertain future. Thankfully, This Is Why Rescue intervened and gave him the chance to fight for a better tomorrow. Shortly after his rescue, Jackson developed serious breathing difficulties and was rushed for emergency veterinary care. He spent a week hospitalized while veterinarians worked to manage pneumonia, repeated vomiting and regurgitation, and difficulty keeping food down. Despite treatment, Jackson’s condition remained complicated. Further testing revealed a hiatal hernia, a condition in which part of the stomach moves upward through an opening in the diaphragm and into the chest. This can cause food and stomach contents to flow backward into the esophagus, creating painful inflammation and increasing the risk of aspiration pneumonia when material enters the lungs. Jackson’s doctors believe surgical repair is necessary to address the underlying problem and give him a better chance at eating safely and recovering. After a week in the hospital, Jackson was finally stable enough to be discharged into a temporary foster home. It was a welcome step forward, but his medical journey was far from over. Jackson Needs Surgery—and We Need Your Help On October 9, Jackson was scheduled to undergo surgery to repair his hiatal hernia. The estimated cost of the procedure is $5,150–$6,670, on top of the thousands of dollars already spent on his emergency hospitalization, diagnostic testing, and treatment. This Is Why Rescue has already dipped into its emergency funds to cover Jackson’s care. Now, they need help replenishing those funds and managing the significant additional expense of his surgery and ongoing medical needs. And surgery is not the end of Jackson’s journey. He is extremely thin and still has heartworm disease and other medical concerns that will require attention as he continues to recover. Jackson has already overcome so much. He went from facing an uncertain fate at a county shelter to receiving emergency treatment, finding temporary safety, and getting a chance at the medical care he needs. Now, he needs us to help him take the next step. Every donation, no matter the amount, will help This Is Why Rescue manage Jackson’s mounting veterinary expenses and continue providing the care he needs. If you cannot donate, please consider sharing his campaign with friends, family, and fellow animal lovers. Please donate today to help Jackson get the care he needs. Together, we can help give this deserving boy the second chance he almost never had.

Spirit

Help Spirit get Cataract surgery — Oshkosh, WI

Oshkosh, WI

Spirit is a very sweet, friendly 3 year old dog who I have had since she was 8 weeks old. She loves to run and chase balls. She also plays fetch quite well. She is very kind to other animals including cats! She loves pup cups and taking rides. She recently developed a cataract in her eye that has caused blindness to that eye. Since she is so young, it is often referred to as “juvenile cataracts “. She needs cataract surgery to hopefully restore vision in her eye. The clinic I am working with is Madison Veterinary Specialists in Madison, Wisconsin. Spirit is a sweet, playful Shiba and is very loyal. She is way too young to have lost vision and deserves a long life that includes the ability to see with both eyes as does any pet/animal. I care very much about animals and their welfare. The bond you develop with your pets is so important and special. They are true friends and Spirit is a great companion. The surgery is expensive and I will give back to local shelters as I have in the past.

Billy

Help Billy get Neurological evaluation and imaging studies — Los Angeles, CA

Los Angeles, CA

Billy is a 3-year-old rescue rabbit who came into my life very unexpectedly. I found out he was being sold as a meat rabbit and impulsively brought him home that same day in hopes of giving him a better life. Billy is playful, curious, and full of personality. I started @BillysBigWorld on Instagram to share his life, and he has gained a really supportive community of people who love him. Billy became unable to walk. He can still move his legs and has sensation, but he falls when he tries to walk/hop. X-rays at VEG Hospital, Torrance, CA showed that Billy has congenital abnormalities in his spine that may be compressing his spinal cord/nerves. He needs specialized neurological care to determine what treatment can help. Hes only 3 years and may have a good prognosis with treatment. Billy is still alert, eating, moving his legs, and has sensation, so I want to help him recover. He gives me so much comfort and he is incredibly loved though his Instagram. Now, he needs that love and support that he spreads to everyone around him right back! I believe Billy’s purpose in the world is to spread joy. It’s what he’s good at. We need Billy healthy so he can keep spreading joy! Any donation, no matter the size, helps us get closer to getting the treatment we need so Billy can walk and play again. Sharing this campaign helps. I have six figures in student loan debt and I am worried that financing Billy‘s treatment is going to be a huge obstacle.
