She’s having seizures. Please help she just had puppies. She was doing great until today. She started seizing and we took her up to the vet and they said that she has a fever to you. Please help. She’s a great dog she gets along with everybody. She’s a sweetest pup you could ever meet and she’s my daughter of everything we would do anything for her. He’s sweet she’s lovable. She does over her back legs and she’s adorable. We should see her when you’re sad she tries to make you laugh. It’s adorable. We are at animal ER it’s in Crowley Texas. She has never had any medical problems at all. She’s always been healthy until now. Today she starts seizing.

Faye
Faye is a 2-year-old Domestic Shorthair Cat in Springdale, PA, who needs $1,500 for Urgent Care.
Springdale, PA • Paws Across Pittsburgh
Paws Across Pittsburgh saved many cats from a hoarding house of horrors and needs your help. Covered in urine and feces, extremely thin, experiencing respiratory issues, and suffering from severe dental disease, Faye and many others were in rough shape and desperately needed help. "An elderly homeowner had been caring for a large number of cats in her home for years," Jackie A., with the rescue group, tells Waggle. "She had reached out to some larger organizations for assistance this year but did not have a good experience and gave up on trying." The woman’s family discovered how dire the situation was and contacted Paws Across Pittsburgh for help. "We visited the home with representatives from two other rescue groups where we found approximately 40 cats living in horrific conditions," Jackie says. "The main floor of the home and most of the kitties were covered in feces and urine. Many appeared sick or injured." Paws Across Pittsburgh took in some of the cats who needed the most help, like Faye. The rescue is desperately trying to raise money for Faye and the other cats they saved. All the medical bills the organization will incur are a substantial financial undertaking. Will you help them make it through this crisis? "We cannot thank our amazing supporters enough for their generosity and kindness," Jackie says. "Your support means the world to us and to cats like Faye."
Leela
Leela is a 2-month-old DSH Kitten in Oakland, NJ, who needs $1,000 for Eye Rupture.
Oakland, NJ • Ramapo Bergen Animal Refuge
Leela sought out help after suffering horrible trauma… Alone, outside in the cold and just 3 pounds, Leela suffered a traumatic head injury, leaving her with a ruptured eye and wounds all over her jaw and head. Too shy to come close, but desperate for help, Leela approached a kind family who offered her food and tried to coax her in. They reached out for rescue help, and together, we were able to trap this critically ill, helpless kitten. Leela’s rescue was a wonderful whirlwind. Two rescues, RBARI and A Pathway to Hope, came together and within hours, Leela was trapped, rushed to the vet and had emergency surgery to remove her infected, ruptured eye before infection could take over her tiny body. Her wounds were treated and stitched. The ongoing concern for Leela is infection, as the wound was deep and covered much of her face. She is slowly recovering and learning to truly trust those humans that she took a chance on, knowing it was her only hope to live. Leela needs your help! Please donate towards her veterinary care today.
Shep
Shep is a 1-year-old Shepherd Mix in Marshall, TX, who needs $1,395 for Amputation.
Marshall, TX • Friends of Marshall Animals
* The Waggle Foundation is dedicated to helping sick and injured pets regain good health. If you join our FurEver Fund today, Waggle will DOUBLE your first month's donation and apply it directly to Sheps' care. Click the blue donate button and choose the Monthly Donation option. * Shep was brought to Marshall Pet Adoption Center by an animal control officer, from an area where many stray dogs are picked up, and it isn’t always easy to tell them from the owned dogs. He may or may not have had an owner, but no one there claimed him, and he’s much better off in our care. He doesn’t seem to have received a lot of human kindness before. On first acquaintance, he’s clearly unsure if you’re friend or foe, and it’s quite enough to break your heart. Once Shep decides you’ll not hurt him, he soaks up all the attention you can give him. In spite of his obviously painful condition, he’s a perfect gentleman, whether you’re feeding him treats or giving him a medical exam. It’s unknown how Shep’s leg was initially injured. He was reportedly around the neighborhood with the injury, but with good mobility, for some time. He recently started dragging his foreleg, and a call was made to Animal Control. He was sent to Dr. McClimon at Taylor Veterinary Clinic in Longview, Texas for evaluation. His leg must now be amputated. The shelter has a small budget for the area that it serves, but we all do our best to rehabilitate every pet that come through the door. We want Shep to get his chance at the loving home he deserves and may never have had before.

She has chewed up every single bed shes ever had except ONE, its a pink little igloo looking bed She has to go on her walks with toys! First stuffy she sees in the house is coming out with her. She DOES NOT BARK!! I dont know why its the craziest thing! Ive heard her bark maybe 5 times and its sooo cute Saturday night Millie swallowed a bouncy ball whole (about 1in diameter) however she acted/ seemed fine. Fast forward sunday night she threw up twice so we took her to the emergency vet (animal emergency & trauma hospital) she has now become severely lethargic and throwing up quite often with signs of a blockage!!

Moon
Moon is a four-year-old Domestic Shorthair cat in Fort Lauderdale, FL, who needs $1,200 for urgent care.
Fort Lauderdale, FL • Operation Liberation
Moon lived on the street without a warm place to sleep or someone to feed and love her. She was so worn down mange attacked her body. Her condition deteriorated to the point her eyes swelled shut and crusted over. Underweight, dehydrated, and her skin in agonizing condition, Moon could barely move, couldn't see, and was close to death. That's when Operation Liberation rescue saved Moon and got her to the hospital. She's been hospitalized since December 13th, receiving constant care. Now, the rescue needs your help to pay for Moon's veterinary bill. "The full extent of damage to her eyes and whether there is vision loss is still unclear," Amanda G., with the rescue, tells Waggle. "Once Moon is more stable, Operation Liberation will take her to an eye specialist. She is at the beginning of her very long journey to recovery." Please consider donating to her campaign to help her open her eyes and experience her new life full of care and love.
Isa
Isa is a two-year-old Labrador mix in Wichita, KS, who needs $1,769 for emergency care after being hit by a train.
Wichita, KS
This dog survived being hit by a train! Someone found the Labrador mix with gruesome injuries and rushed her to an emergency hospital. The staff immediately started contacting rescues to save her. When Always and Furever Midwest Animal Sanctuary got the call, the nonprofit group immediately said: Yes! We'll take her. They named her Isa. "She was given the name due to its meaning, which is strength," Tori P., with the rescue, tells Waggle. The nonprofit group needs your help raising the money for Isa's medical care. "Something about this girl has been pulling on everyone's heartstrings," Tori says. "The fact that she took on a train and survived means she deserved to live." Please give so Isa can get fixed up and adopted by a new family to keep her out of harm's way!
Zeppelin
Zeppelin is a 12-year-old Pitbull in Wallingford, CT, who needs $2,000 for Tetraparesis.
Wallingford, CT
Zeppelin was adopted from a rescue group and then fostered for adoption. I adopted Zeppelin on Father’s Day two months after my dad tragically passed away. Zeppelin was everything I needed in such a difficult time in my life. I saved him and he ultimately saved me. Zeppelin has become the emotional support dog to me and is my bestfriend. I like to believe he was gift from my dad. Zeppelin is a lover, a cuddler, a piggy, and loves to sleep and snore. Zeppy loves his squeaker toys, begs for food, eats rabbit poop, and insists on following me everywhere I go even if that means the bathroom. He is a very needy pup. Zeppelin’s favorite thing to do around dinner time is to pick up his bowl and bring it to another location in the house. He’ll drop it and all the kibble spills everywhere which allows him to eat the trail it leaves behind. He also cannot go to sleep without being covered entirely by a blanket or will cry. If he gets uncovered in the middle of the night he’ll cry and wake you up to cover him. Zeppelin starting using the bathroom uncontrollably in the house multiple times a day everyday. He slowly started losing function and motor skills on his right side. I brought him to the vet and they gave him steroids and took X-rays. Over the next 3 days he was brought back for steroids and antibiotics but his condition only worsened until he was completely unable to walk. Zep was brought to the ER & they took an MRI and found that his C4 and C5 discs were severely herniated which caused the loss of mobility. The only way for Zepp to restore mobility and his motor skills was to receiver emergency surgery which would cost $5600
Ludwig
Ludwig is a 1-year-old Pitbull Mix in Avon, OH, who needs $2,000 for Hospitalization, Wound Treatment, and Surgery.
Avon, OH
Ludwig was found cowering behind shopping carts outside of a store. He was emaciated, had open sores covering his body, and an open wound on his tail. He crawled between the legs of his rescuers and curled up on intake. Once Ludwig arrived to the veterinary clinic, it was discovered he had a fracture in his foot and his tail was broken and would need to be amputated. He was also very bloated and x-rays revealed his belly is very enlarged. Due to all of his medical issues, Ludwig is being hospitalized. He is receiving medicated soaks on his foot, getting rehydrated with fluids, and slowly gaining weight. His belly is being closely monitored as surgery may be required if the bloating does not decrease. Once he regains some strength, his tail will be amputated. Despite all of the suffering and pain Ludwig has experienced, he is very sweet and cooperative for his treatments at West Park Animal Hospital. FIDO's Companion Rescue focuses on saving lives from high-kill shelters. They take on animals that many have given up on and provide them with a second chance. Please consider donating so they can give Ludwig all he needs to live a happy, healthy life!
