Thrown Away at 12, Tofu Still Deserves a Second Chance

Sanford, NC • Carolina Animal Rescue and Adoption

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. ❤️

Dak is a 9 year old Shih Tzu in Paterson, NJ, who needs $5,000 for Perineal Hernia Surgery.

Paterson, NJ

Dak, my 10-year-old Shih Tzu, is the heart of our family. He’s loving, playful, and always by our side, bringing comfort and happiness into our lives every single day. His excitement when he sees us and the love he gives is unmatched. Dak is not just a pet—he is our best friend, our companion, and a true member of our family who means everything to us. Dak is suffering from a perineal hernia that is causing him severe discomfort and making it very difficult for him to use the bathroom. He strains and is clearly in pain, which is heartbreaking to watch. Without urgent surgery, his condition can worsen and become life-threatening. The cost is $5,000–$6,000, and he is being treated at Eclipse Animal Hospital by Dr. Jennifer Bonczynski. Dak is so much more than a pet; he is a beloved member of our family. For 10 years, he has filled our home with love, happiness, and companionship. His playful spirit, loyalty, and unconditional love have brought us comfort through good times and difficult moments. Dak has a special place in our hearts, and we want to do everything we can to give him the happy, healthy life he deserves. The cost of Dak’s surgery is more than I can manage right now. I have been on disability since October after knee surgery and am just beginning to return to work. Taking on a $5,000–$6,000 medical expense would create a serious financial strain. We love Dak and want to give

Calvin

Calvin is a 6 year old Mix-Breed in Scarborough, ME, who needs $2,000 for Immune-Mediated Hemolytic Anemia.

Scarborough, ME

We adopted Calvin in 2020 through a rescue in NH. He joined his big sister, Cleo, Dana, and I in our home in Scarborough. He has been the most perfect addition to our family ever since. Medically, Calvy has not had an easy ride. When we first adopted him, he struggled with tummy and skin issues, however, once figured out, he was a healthy, happy 50 pound boy with an amazing and shiny coat. In 2022, Calvin was brought to MVMC and was ultimately diagnosed with PLE. With a special diet, meds, and check ups, Calvin was back to his energetic self in no time. This past June, Calvin returned to MVMC because of concerning symptoms, where he was diagnosed with IMHA. After 3 weeks of recovering, he was readmitted twice within a week, due to other complications with IMHA and the strong meds. Calvy is the most special boy. He brightens every room, and everyone's day. He is goofy, energetic, curious, clever, and so loving. He lets his sisters boss him around, but he loves them. He loves running on trails, sticking his head out the window, sleeping under the covers during bedtime, eating snacks, laying on his (many) dog beds in any room we are in, and just being anywhere with his family. We work really hard: Dana's overtime days, and my working 3 part time gigs, even after teaching. With PLE, there were many medical expenses. And now, with IMHA, there are good days and hard days, and consistent medical expenses for our Calvy boy to be all the way healthy.
