Sheba

Please help give Sheba a second chance.

Oakland, NJ • Ramapo Bergen Animal Refuge

Baby Sheba couldn’t eat. She couldn’t heal. She needed rescue. Seven-month-old Sheba was suffering from a severe rectal prolapse for at least a week before help was sought. The only care given was to “clean her at home” while this sweet puppy stopped eating and continued to decline. By the time Sheba reached us, she needed emergency surgery to save her life. Doctors initially attempted to replace the prolapse and place a purse-string suture, but became concerned that something more serious was happening internally. During exploratory surgery, they discovered necrotic tissue in her colon that had to be removed immediately. To spare Sheba future surgeries, she was spayed, and her painful cherry eye was corrected. We are so grateful Sheba made it to rescue in time, but her medical care has been extensive, and she will continue to need close monitoring and follow-up care during recovery. Please help us give Sheba the second chance she deserves Sheba has already endured more pain than any puppy ever should. But today she is finally safe. She is finally being cared for. And for the first time in a long time, this baby has a chance to heal – with you by her side. 6/10/26 Update Sheba is slowly recovering but is still going to the bathroom more frequently than she should. She is receiving the best care possible right now. 8/3/26 Update After the extensive surgery she needed to remove damaged colon tissue following her rectal prolapse, healing is going to be a gradual process. The good news is that she is happy, playful, eating well, and enjoying all the love she's missed. But, healing takes time. The biggest focus is helping Sheba’s digestive system recover. She still has very frequent bowel movements and some straining related to the healing process, so we're continuing to work closely with her veterinary team to give her body the time it needs. We don’t yet know yet what her long-term needs will be. For now, Sheba is exactly where she needs to be - with a loving foster family, excellent veterinary care, and so many people (YOU!) cheering her on.

Bane

Bane is a 5-year-old Pit Bull mix in Dowagiac, MI, who needs $862 for tumor removal.

Dowagiac, MI

Bane has an issue he doesn't like to discuss. His pooper is a bit broken and needs some medical intervention. "He began to have this anal gland issue in June, which has progressively worsened. He struggles to go poop and possibly has an abscess," Karianne R., Bane's human mom, tells Waggle. Now Bane needs surgery to give him some relief, and his family is so worried. Karianne R. and her husband adopted Bane one day years ago when they just went to "look at dogs" at the local shelter. (You know how that goes!) "When we walked up to Bane's kennel, he came over, turned his back to us, sat down, and promptly looked over his shoulder at us," Karianne says. "The volunteers said he had a rough life and has the scars to prove it." They took Bane home on the spot; he was the most well-behaved dog they had ever met! Bane is also an excellent and gentle big brother to two human twins! But the family can't afford Bane's surgery, and they're panicked his pooper might get worse. "We have had an unbelievably difficult summer with finances," Karianne says. "I had to have three surgeries since June. My husband and I have had time off due to having twins in the NICU last year and all the added expenses that come with twins. Bane being healthy would mean the word to us!" Please help Bane poop without pain!

Lady Charlie

Lady Charlie is a 6 year old Basset Artésien Normand in LaGrange, KY, who needs $3,726 for Right Anal Sacculectomy.

LaGrange, KY

Lady Charlie is a hilarious, perpetually hungry, and irresistibly lovable basset hound who bounced into our lives as a puppy in January 2020. She has been our resident thief from day one reaching the counters with the skill of a Great Dane and swiping everything from pizza to sticks of butter. She shares the home with two other dogs, three cats, and three humans. During a routine checkup in April, an anal sac mass was found. The vet found Lady Charlie to have hypercalcemia - a sign of AGASACA - and biopsied the mass. Once those results confirmed the diagnosis, we were sent to Metropolitan Vet for a surgical consult. The surgeon felt that with excision of the mass, Charlie's prognosis was good. Life would be boring without Lady Charlie's shenanigans! She carts shoes, socks, pillows, and small items into our backyard through her doggy door. She tore up so much of my garden that I surrendered and planted her a carrot patch, fencing off the rest. I call her aggressively affectionate because she absolutely loves everyone she meets and is not shy about wanting belly rubs or treats. Over the past year, I have reduced my work hours to assist my youngest child with a medical condition. We have kept a strict budget, but we also encountered other significant expenses. Having to not worry about this surgical bill would bring such relief to our family.

Chewbarka

Chewbarka Cannot Beat Parvo Without Help

Tampa, FL • Rags to Riches Animal Rescue Inc

Chewbarka, lovingly called Chewy, almost didn’t make it. Chewbarka, along with two other dogs, was surrendered to Rags to Riches Animal Rescue by members of an unhoused community who were trying to get the dogs help. All three dogs were suffering from parvo and needed immediate emergency veterinary care. On top of the parvo diagnosis, they were also battling hookworms and coccidia, making their condition even more serious. When Chewy was picked up, his condition was critical. He was so cold. His gums were completely white. His tiny body was shutting down, and honestly, the chances of him surviving were slim. The rescue team feared the worst. But Chewy kept fighting. After emergency treatment, there was finally some hope. He started doing a little better, and everyone breathed a small sigh of relief. But recovery from parvo is not a straight line, especially for puppies this fragile. Just a few hours after leaving one emergency vet, Chewbarka had to be rushed right back to another ER when his temperature dropped again, he became lethargic, and his gums turned pale once more. He just cannot seem to catch a break. Right now, Chewy is still fighting for his life. While he has shown incredible strength, he is not fully out of the woods yet and continues to need intensive medical care, monitoring, medications, and support. Emergency veterinary care for parvo is incredibly expensive, especially when complications continue and multiple ER visits are needed. But Rags to Riches Animal Rescue refused to give up on him because Chewy deserves the chance to live the happy, healthy life every puppy deserves. Now we are asking for your help. Every donation, no matter the amount, goes directly toward Chewbarka’s lifesaving medical care and helps give this tiny fighter a chance at survival. 5/19/26 Update Chewbarka’s story has already touched so many hearts, and we are so happy to share a much needed update on this brave little fighter. After multiple emergency vet visits, countless medications, sleepless nights, and a very uncertain road, Chewy is now doing much better than he was when he first came into our care. The tiny puppy who once struggled just to stay warm is now outside playing, running around, and finally getting to enjoy being a dog again. Seeing him happy, active, and full of life feels nothing short of incredible considering how critical his condition was when he first came to the rescue. There were moments when survival seemed unlikely, but Chewy never gave up. Thanks to the dedicated veterinary teams, his foster caregivers, and the overwhelming support from compassionate donors, he's getting the second chance he deserves. While Chewy still has some recovery ahead of him, his transformation has been amazing to witness. Watching him play outside and act like a normal puppy again is the update everyone was hoping for. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who is donating, sharing, and supporting Chewbarka during his fight. 5/29/26 Update We’re so happy to share another positive update on Chewbarka! After everything this little guy has been through, from battling parvo, hookworms, and coccidia to multiple emergency vet visits when his condition was hanging in the balance, it’s amazing to see him continuing to grow stronger every day. Recently, Chewy’s foster family noticed he was walking a little differently than usual, so they took him back to the vet to make sure everything was okay. The vet discovered that he had developed a blister, which is now being monitored closely. During the visit, they also noted that Chewy is a bit bow legged, something his care team will continue to keep an eye on as he grows. For a puppy who once struggled just to survive, his strength and determination continue to amaze everyone who has followed his journey from the very beginning. Even more exciting, Chewy is getting closer to the next chapter of his life. If all continues to go well, he should be ready to be neutered in the near future, another important milestone on his road to a bright and healthy future. Looking back at where Chewy started, cold, critically ill, and fighting for his life, it’s hard to believe how far he has come. Every tail wag, every playful moment, and every positive vet check is a testament to the incredible impact of rescue, veterinary care, and the generosity of supporters like you. While Chewy has come an incredibly long way, he still has ongoing veterinary needs ahead, and we remain grateful for every donation that helps ensure he continues receiving the care he deserves. 6/23/26 Update We have the happiest update to share... Chewbarka has officially been adopted! After everything this little guy has been through, we couldn't be more excited to see him starting his next chapter with a family of his very own. When Chewy first came into rescue, he was critically ill. He was battling parvo, hookworms, and coccidia, and his condition was so severe that there were moments when we weren't sure he would survive. He endured multiple emergency vet visits, intensive medical treatment, constant monitoring, medications, diagnostics, and countless hours of dedicated care as everyone fought to save his life. Today, that same puppy is healthy enough to be adopted and begin the life he always deserved. But while Chewy's rescue story has reached its happy ending, his fundraiser is not over yet. The reality is that lifesaving medical care comes with a tremendous cost. The emergency hospitalizations, treatments, medications, diagnostics, follow up appointments, and ongoing veterinary care that saved Chewy's life generated significant medical bills that the rescue is still working to cover. When rescues say "yes" to critically ill puppies like Chewy, they commit to helping first and figuring out the finances later. We would make that same decision again in a heartbeat because Chewy deserved every chance to survive. But now we need your help to ensure those expenses don't take resources away from the next dog who needs emergency care. Please don't stop donating just because Chewy has been adopted. Every donation made to Chewy's fundraiser helps offset the enormous cost of the medical care that got him here. It also helps ensure that when the next puppy arrives sick, injured, or fighting for their life, we can say "yes" without hesitation. Chewy's adoption is exactly what we hoped for from the beginning, but it was only possible because of the incredible support from this community. If you've been waiting to donate, now is the perfect time to help us close the gap on his medical expenses and allow us to continue saving dogs like him. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who donated, shared his story, and rooted for this tiny fighter. You helped turn what could have been a tragedy into a success story. Chewy may be home, but we're still working to cover the cost of the care that saved his life—and every contribution makes a difference.

Help Rocket Heal After a Devastating Dog Attack

WHITESTONE, NY • NYC Second Chance Rescue

Rocket is just a puppy. She should be spending her days playing, exploring, and discovering the world—not fighting to recover from devastating injuries that no young dog should ever have to endure. Just days ago, Rocket was surrendered to a shelter after suffering for more than 24 hours following a brutal attack by another dog. By the time she arrived, the extent of her injuries was heartbreaking. Her head was severely swollen, covered in multiple puncture wounds, and it was clear she had been living in unimaginable pain. NYC Second Chance Rescue immediately stepped in to give Rocket the emergency care she desperately needed. Although Rocket is now in stable condition, her fight is far from over. She has developed a significant infection from her wounds and remains incredibly weak. While antibiotics are beginning to help combat the infection, Rocket still has very little interest in eating, and her veterinary team is working around the clock to keep her comfortable with aggressive pain management and supportive care. Despite everything she's been through, this brave little puppy continues to fight. Rocket's recovery will require ongoing hospitalization, medications, wound care, diagnostics, and close monitoring as her body heals from the trauma she endured. Your donation will help cover the cost of Rocket's emergency veterinary care and give her the best possible chance at a full recovery. Every dollar directly supports the lifesaving treatment she needs as she continues this difficult journey. If you're unable to donate, sharing Rocket's story is another powerful way to help. Every share gives this resilient puppy the opportunity to reach more compassionate people who want to be part of her recovery. Rocket has already survived the unthinkable. Now she needs all of us standing beside her as she fights toward a future filled with safety, love, and the carefree puppyhood she deserves. Thank you for supporting Rocket and the lifesaving work of NYC Second Chance Rescue. Together, we can help this courageous little girl write a much happier next chapter. 7/22/26 Update We're grateful to share a hopeful update on Rocket's recovery. Since beginning treatment, Rocket has continued to show encouraging signs of improvement. The severe swelling around her head has gone down significantly, and her wounds are responding well to the care she's receiving. While she still has a long road ahead, it's heartening to see her becoming a little brighter and more comfortable with each passing day. Rocket's veterinary team has also received the results of her wound culture, giving them a clearer understanding of the bacteria causing her infection. One of the strongest antibiotics available could be effective but also carries serious risks, including potential kidney damage. Because Rocket has been responding positively to her current treatment plan, her doctors are continuing to monitor her progress closely while carefully weighing the benefits and risks of any changes to her medications. Although these updates are encouraging, Rocket's recovery is far from over. She continues to need ongoing medical care, medications, wound management, and close veterinary supervision to ensure her injuries continue healing and to watch for any complications that could arise during her recovery. Your support is making every step of Rocket's healing journey possible. If you're able, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to help cover the cost of her continued veterinary care. Every gift, no matter the size, helps provide the treatment, monitoring, and compassionate care this resilient puppy still needs. If you're unable to donate, sharing Rocket's story is another meaningful way to help. Thank you for standing beside Rocket and NYC Second Chance Rescue as she continues fighting toward the happy, healthy future she deserves. ❤️ 7/26/26 Update Rocket continues to amaze us every single day. We're so happy to share that this resilient little puppy is doing marvelously. Her wounds have healed beautifully, the painful swelling that once covered her head is completely gone, and she's officially graduated from her E-collar! While Rocket is still healing, she's feeling better with each passing day, and her personality is beginning to shine through. Watching her become more comfortable, more curious, and more confident has been incredibly rewarding for everyone who has followed her journey. Seeing Rocket finally getting the chance to simply enjoy life like the puppy she is reminds us why every effort to save her was worth it. We are so grateful to everyone who has donated, shared her story, and kept Rocket in your thoughts. Your compassion has made every milestone in her recovery possible, and she is proof of what can happen when people come together to give an animal a second chance. Rocket still has follow-up veterinary care ahead as she continues her recovery, and NYC Second Chance Rescue is caring for many other animals with urgent medical needs just like hers. If you're able, please consider making a donation today. Your support helps ensure Rocket can continue receiving the care she needs while also giving the next injured animal that arrives at the rescue the same chance to heal. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a lifesaving difference. 8/6/26 Update We have wonderful news to share about Rocket! Just a few weeks ago, Rocket was fighting for her life after suffering a brutal dog attack that left her covered in puncture wounds, battling a severe infection, and in unimaginable pain. Thanks to the incredible care of her veterinary team—and the support of this amazing community—Rocket has made an incredible recovery. Her wounds have healed beautifully, the infection is gone, and she's feeling like the happy puppy she was always meant to be. Even after everything she endured, Rocket never lost her sweet, loving personality, and she quickly won the hearts of everyone who met her. The best news of all? Rocket has officially been adopted into a wonderful forever home! After being medically cleared, she made the journey to New York, where she is now surrounded by a family who will love, protect, and cherish her for the rest of her life. Watching this once-injured puppy begin the next chapter of her life has been the greatest reward we could have hoped for. While we're celebrating Rocket's incredible transformation, we're not quite at the finish line yet. The emergency care that saved her life—including hospitalization, diagnostics, medications, wound treatment, and ongoing veterinary care—came at a significant cost, and we're still working to pay off the remaining medical expenses. If you're able, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to help us finish covering Rocket's veterinary bills. Every dollar helps NYC Second Chance Rescue continue saying "yes" to animals facing medical emergencies just like Rocket's.
