Angelica
Angelica is a one-year-old Pit Bull in Ossining, NY, who needs $1,098 for Heartworm Treatment.
Ossining, NY • A Good Dog Rescue
Angelica has had quite a long and winding road, and A Good Dog Rescue hopes you can help her cross the finish line in her journey. Still just a pup herself, this sweet girl ended up in a high-kill shelter, pregnant, heartworm positive, and at risk of being euthanized by the facility. Her future was also bleak because she was a pit bull. "Her owner had never spayed her as she didn't think it was important," Lisa S., with the rescue, tells Waggle. "So a young, black, pregnant mom found herself surrounded by other dogs in similar circumstances in an overcrowded, small shelter." Luckily the rescue was able to save Angelica and sent her to a foster home. "When this tiny mama arrived, her tail tucked so tightly between her legs; she looked up at her foster mom with her eyes so big and full of hope. We caressed her face and told her how beautiful she is, over and over until that tail peeked out and started to wag," Lisa says. Angelica gave birth to five beautiful female puppies. "She is a wonderful momma to her puppies, cleaning and feeding them regularly while they grow," Lisa says. "They love playing with the cats and other resident dogs in the household. She is no longer the shy dog with her tail tucked but is the smiling happy mamma greeting everyone who enters her life." Now it's time to get Angelica fixed up! With your support, she will be spayed and receive treatment for her heartworms at Family Vet Care of Ossining. If she's not treated, she could die from the disgusting creatures. Once she gets the care she needs Angelica will finally be up for adoption and ready to find her own forever home! "Angelica is a lucky one, for not many moms make it out of the shelter system," Lisa adds. "With the numerous medical bills piling up and shelters begging for help saving dogs, we are in dire need of funds. Any amount is generous and helps our dogs and us tremendously."
Clover
Clover is a 2-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier mix in Ossining, NY, who needs $835 for Heartworm Treatment.
Ossining, NY • A Good Dog Rescue
Clover is one of the luckiest dogs alive. Two weeks ago, 4 dogs were pulled from a high kill shelter euthanasia list and placed on transport. A shelter worker accidentally placed Clover on transport to NY. The shelter offered to bring him back, but we could never do that to him. He was saved and given a second chance at life for a reason, so we committed to helping find a home. Clover really is a perfect dog and it is heartbreaking to think that he wouldn't be alive if he had stayed at the shelter. As soon as Clover arrived at doggy daycare, he fit right in. He is so grateful to finally be out of a kennel, free to explore, play with other dogs, and love up on humans to his heart's content! Clover has a pure, angelic spirit, so soft and gentle. His smile never fades and he looks up to you with such hope and love, it is remarkable. He is amazing with everyone he meets, is perfect on leash, and is crate trained. He has low energy, wants nothing more than love, and is happiest cuddling up with blankies, receiving pets, and hearing the soothing sound of your voice. Clover came up to us with no medical record or previous vetting, so we immediately brought him to Family Veterinary Care in Ossining for a wellness exam, vaccinations, neuter scheduling, and testing. He was sadly diagnosed with heartworms and will need to be placed on a strict treatment regiment and cage rest. The bill for the treatment is between $1100 and $1700. Clover is a miracle and, with all that he's been through, deserves a life free of pain. With the numerous medical bills piling up and shelters begging for help saving dogs, we are in dire need of funds. Any amount is generous and helps us and our dogs tremendously.
Bradley
Bradley is an eleven month-old Hound mix in Ossining, NY, who needs $2,000 for urgent surgery.
Ossining, NY • A Good Dog Rescue
Bradley was abandoned in rural Alabama when he was just a few months old. "He was forced to fend for himself in a cruel world," Lisa S., with A Good Dog Rescue, tells Waggle. "When he was finally rescued off the streets, he was dumped in a high-kill shelter. He was at risk of being euthanized due to lack of space, but we scooped him up just in time and transported him to New York." Soon after he arrived, his fosters noticed he was limping. The rescue brought him to Family Veterinary Care, and X-rays revealed his gut-wrenching backstory. "He had multiple BB bullets lodged inside his leg and was possibly hit by a car, causing extensive damage to his hip that requires femoral head ostectomy (FHO) hip surgery," Lisa says. Now the rescue is asking for your help raising the money for Bradley's operation. They say though they can't erase his hideous past, he's the sweetest boy who deserves the most beautiful future. "Bradley never wastes a moment sharing his appreciation with everyone he meets," Lisa says. "He gets along with every dog and human, always excited to meet new friends, including kitties! He has contagiously positive energy and makes everyone fall in love with him. He loves to play, cuddle with his humans, and would fit right into a loving family."
Buddy
Buddy is a seven-year-old Pit Bull in Ossining, NY, who needs $1,046 for tumor removal and dental surgery.
Ossining, NY • A Good Dog Rescue
Until A Good Dog Rescue saved Buddy, he kept drawing the shortest straw in life! He couldn't catch a break. Animal control officers picked him up running down a major road three months ago. "He had no collar, chip, or tags. He was scared, alone, and confused, desperately searching for his family," Lisa S., from the rescue, tells Waggle. Sadly, Buddy spent the last few months in the shelter waiting for someone to bring him home. "No owner, adopter, or rescue would take him, so we did," Lisa says. Soon after Buddy arrived in his foster home, his new family observed he was friendly, loving, and needed medical help. "He had swelling between his paws and rotten teeth," Lisa says. "We brought him into Family Vet Care, where they informed us he will need surgery to remove cysts on his paws and an extensive dental cleaning. The bill is steep, $1046, but Buddy needs to be able to live his life free of pain finally." What amazed the rescue is that after all Buddy has been through, he never stops smiling. "If you look closely, you will see a ton of tiny scars on Buddy's face," Lisa adds. "Still, he never complains, does what he's told, lives in the moment, and doesn't ask for a single thing other than love. He longs for a home, for someone to choose him, and for someone that acknowledges his scars yet still falls in love with his character." Please help Buddy get the veterinary care he needs and the new life he deserves!
