Lexington, SC • For the Love of Street Dogs
* For the Love of Street Dogs * No one knows what pure hell Emmy endured before For the Love of Street Dogs saved her from the brink of death. She encountered humanity at its worst. "Emmy was found with an unidentifiable substance on her face and parts of her head and body shaved," Manuela S., with the rescue group, tells Waggle. "A clear case of abuse; For the Love of Street Dogs knew they had to help this sweet soul that had been through so much." Emmy is hospitalized, receiving compresses on her face, pain meds, IV fluids, and antibiotics. The mystery substance is starting to break off, but it is a very slow process. She is now able to open her eyes, and her veterinarian found they're damaged from the abuse she suffered. Emmy didn't want to eat, so she received a feeding tube to ensure she got enough calories and nutrition. "Despite everything this poor girl has been through, she is still an absolute sweetheart," Manuela says. "She loves cuddles, pets, and even makes biscuits. Her resilience is astounding." For the Love of Street Dogs works to build a community where people value animals and treat them respectfully and kindly. Emmy is a heartbreaking case, but they are determined to provide all the care she needs to be healthy, no matter the cost. Please help the nonprofit group rehabilitate Emmy so she can live the rest of her life knowing only love and care! Update - a week after hospitalization Her o2 stats are good, she had a feeding tube placed so we can make sure she gets nutrition, she is not eating enough. She has been sedated today so she was so very tired. They did remove some of the substance out of her nose. It’s hard on her, this lil sweet thing did not deserve this. No animal should ever endure what Emmy endured and still has to endure. Once she can eat right on her own things will look up for her. Update 8/5/24: Emmy's ET tube is out! She has gained weight and her wounds are healing nicely. She's still recovering but overall Emmy has made immense progress. Update 8/10/24: Emmy continues to do well! Her wounds are healing nicely and much of her fur has grown back. She is even off all medications! She is such a sweet, beautiful cat and we are so happy she has made such progress. We are hopeful she will be ready for her forever home soon.

Lexington, SC • For the Love of Street Dogs
Munchkin was found rooming the streets in horrible shape and afraid of anyone who approached her. For the Love of Street Dogs Team scoured the streets looking for this poor girl. They found her blending in with the dirt and took her immediately to the vet. She was extremely dehydrated, covered in fleas, and suffering from horrible dental disease and an infected eye. Her skin was extremely inflamed from a yeast infection causing hair loss and her remaining hair was matted to her skin. On top of all of this, Munchkin tested heartworm positive. She will need many vet visits and treatment to be healthy once again. Her journey to recovery will be difficult, but For the Love of Street Dogs Team is determined to provide Munchkin with everything she needs. For the Love of Street Dogs is a small rescue but that doesn't stop them from taking on cases like Munchkin's that require much time, effort, and money. Your support makes it possible for them to continue their amazing work. Please consider donating!
