Venice, FL • True & Faithful Pet Rescue Mission

Living on the streets, starving, and neglected, that's the life Amber, a 14-year-old Chihuahua was living until one day she got picked up and taken to a Miami animal shelter. Her adoption chances were slim; who could afford the medical care this sickly senior dog needed? Luckily for Amber, True and Faithful Pet Rescue heard about her case, and the nonprofit group became the hero she needed. "She was emaciated, and her skin was in awful condition," Lisa L., with the rescue, tells Waggle. They raced Amber to the Davie Veterinary Clinic. The medical team discovered she needed urgent surgery for a dental procedure and to remove masses in her abdomen and vulva. Lisa says Amber has likely been mistreated for a long time, and now, with your help, they want to give her the best future. "Given the tough life she's had, Amber is a little scared and distrustful of humans because she's never been treated with love and affection," Lisa adds. "Now that she's finally receiving the care and attention she deserves, it's hopeful that she'll start to warm up and get on the road to recovery so she can be adopted into a loving home. She just needs a second chance."

Lennox

Lennox is a 10-year-old Chihuahua in Venice, FL, who needs $1,500 for liver and heartworm treatment.

Venice, FL • True & Faithful Pet Rescue Mission

Lenox is an estimated 10-12-year-old 10-pound Chihuahua who was found wandering the streets of Miami, and it’s clear that he was an outside dog who was never properly cared for. He was rescued by Lisa L. of True and Faithful Pet Rescue, and Lisa notes that his urine is deep orange in color, which is very concerning. Lisa brought him to the veterinarian, where doctors ran a series of tests to try and figure out what’s going on. Lenox was found to be heartworm positive, and he also had to have 19 teeth removed. Doctors also did chest X-rays, an abdominal ultrasound, and liver bile acid tests. They are currently waiting for the culture to come back for his urine to see what’s causing it to be so dark. Since he’s had such a tough go in life, Lisa explains, “He’s very sweet, but he’s a little cautious and it takes him a little time to warm up.” Once Lenox is given a diagnosis and is started on a treatment regimen, he’ll be one step closer to finding his forever home, where he can receive the love and care he’s missed out on up until now. Lisa adds, “I know he’s on his way to happiness.” To cover the cost of Lenox’s medical invoices, True and Faithful Pet Rescue needs help from generous donors like you. With your contribution, you can not only help get Lenox on the road to recovery, but you can rest assured that you’re helping the rescue continue to give more animals the veterinary care they so desperately need.

Venice, FL • True & Faithful Pet Rescue Mission

Her name is Tiny, but this poor dog has a huge tumor on her shoulder that is nearly the size of her head! She's uncomfortable, suffering, and she needs your help. The senior Chihuahua was found roaming the streets of Miami and was taken to a shelter. No one wanted to adopt Tiny, who looked like *The Hunchback of Notre Dame.* That's when True and Faithful Pet Rescue saved her and rushed the dog to Davie Veterinary Clinic. The medical team discovered Tiny was so sick and anemic she needed multiple blood transfusions! The nonprofit group is trying to raise all the money necessary for Tiny's care and surgery to remove the tumor and send it to pathology. "She may have had a rough time in life so far, but Tiny still has so much love to give," Lisa L., with the rescue, tells Waggle. "She's adorable, sweet, and she needs a second chance."

Katie

Katie is a 7-year-old Pomeranian in Venice, FL, who needs $2,000 for Surgery.

Venice, FL • True & Faithful Pet Rescue Mission

Katie is a seven-year-old Pomeranian in Miami, FL that needs urgent surgery. Poor Katie sat in the animal shelter, injured and in pain, hoping someone would help her. "The shelter labeled her as hurt; you could tell something was wrong with her back leg. It was very obvious," Rena M., from True and Faithful Rescue Mission tells Waggle. The beautiful, fluffy dog caught the rescue's eye and stole their hearts. "Any dogs that have injuries are looked over by adopters because they often need extra medical care. She needed someone to help her. We needed to be a voice for the voiceless," Rena says. Can you help Katie get back on her feet and into a new loving home once she's healed up? Katie is expected to make a full recovery once she's fixed up and will eventually be up for adoption in the Washington DC, VA, and MD areas. "She will be great when she is more spry," Rena says. "I can't wait to see her personality develop once she's out of pain." So the group sprang Katie from the shelter and rushed her over to Davie Veterinary Clinic. The medical team took X-rays that revealed Katie has a broken hip -- they also found she has terrible teeth. Now the nonprofit rescue needs to raise the money for this adorable girl to have hip, dental, and spay surgery. "She is such a sweet soul," Rena adds. "You get a sense of thankfulness from her."

Then there was a twist of fate: A follow-up vet appointment and X-rays at Huntley Animal Care revealed the tumor in his chest was shrinking! But then Angelo was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor on his thigh.

Venice, FL • True & Faithful Pet Rescue Mission

No one knows how this senior dog, with one of the cutest faces in the world, ended up as a stray on the streets of Miami. But when True and Faithful Pet Rescue heard about Littles, they swooped in to save him. And poor Littles was indeed an underdog. He was unable to walk, had a perineal hernia the size of a grapefruit, and was covered in urine and feces. The rescue raced him to the Davie Veterinary Clinic, where Littles was also diagnosed with an enlarged heart, a back injury, and a rotten set of teeth. Littles needed immediate surgery to help relieve his suffering. And to everyone's relief, he made it through the operation even with his enlarged heart. Now the group is helping this cutie with his other issues. "He is fighting so hard, and we are fighting with him," Lisa L. with the rescue tells Waggle. Littles got a set of wheels to work on his mobility, but soon after his surgery, he started to walk again. Everyone is thrilled! He is set for a follow-up appointment with the veterinarian shortly and will hopefully be ready to find his furever home. True and Faithful Pet Rescue spent a significant amount of money to pay for Littles urgent care, and they're hoping with your help, they will raise enough donations to pay off their vet bill so they can save other underdogs in need.

Tania

Tania is an eight-year-old Rat Terrier in Venice, FL, who needs $2,000 for tumor removal and dental surgery.

Venice, FL • True & Faithful Pet Rescue Mission

Tania sat, suffering, hidden in the back of an animal shelter that was closed to the public. No one came to reclaim, adopt, or save her. The sweet dog with kind eyes had two huge tumors on her abdomen; one was the size of a tennis ball, the other the size of a soda bottle! When True and Faithful Pet Rescue heard about Tania, the nonprofit group immediately put a plan in action to get her out. "We could not walk past her at the shelter," Lisa L. with the group tells Waggle. "Her eyes pleaded for us to save her." The rescue picked up Tania and rushed her to Huntley Animal Care, where Dr. Bennett, DVM, discovered Tania also needed surgery to remove rotten teeth. "Tania's painful mouth was prohibiting her from eating," Lisa says. As soon as Tania was strong enough for surgery, the medical team went to work and removed 1.5 pounds of tumors from her mammary area and the teeth that were bothering her. Now she's recovering in a foster home and will be cleared for adoption soon. If you're interested in making Tania part of your family, True and Faithful Pet Rescue waives their adoption fee for seniors and helps transport pets to different locations in the U.S. Lisa says the group is thrilled to have saved Tania and hopes generous donors will help them raise the money to pay the medical bills for her care. "Tania deserves better, and better is what she got!"
