⚠Warning - Do not look if you have a sensitive stomach⚠
Some stories remind us all of the incredible power of community and compassion. ❤️🐾 🐶

This sweet dog Ruby had been living with a large, painful lump that was becoming increasingly dangerous. When the owner came to us unable to afford the surgery her dog desperately needed, we were determined to help. Thanks to the kindness of strangers and generous donors via GoFundMe, we were able to remove a dangerous lump weighing nearly 600g!

A huge thank you to everyone who supported this beautiful dog Ruby through her journey to recovery!
The relief this sweet girl is now feeling is priceless, and the owner is forever grateful to all those who made this surgery possible ☺.

This is what makes our work so rewarding, seeing animals healed and families restored.
Thank you to every single person who contributed to making this surgery a reality, your kindness truly saved a life. 🐾💕

Please consider donating so we can continue to give back to our amazing community!

Today we received this lovely update from Walters new family, we are so happy we could help him find his forever home 💕
"Hi Paws team

I wanted to share an update on Walter, who is now known as Doug - as a show of thanks for the work that you do, and to let you know how well he is doing.

After reading the listing in which he was described as timid, and needing a lot of support and patience, we knew we could provide a loving home and give him all the time he would need to come out of his shell. As it turns out, the time he needed was all of about 5 minutes. He very quickly made himself at home, nuzzled in with us for cuddles on the couch, and challenged his new big sister and bestfriend Penny at playtime. Also, three legs? No problems.

We're so glad that we had the opportunity to foster, to test out how a second dog would fit in with us and to make sure that we were absolutely prepared. It was an incredible feeling (and heartbreaking a couple of times) to see our fosters go to their loving families, and even more incredible was welcoming Dougie into ours. When you know, you know.

We love him. Thank you for being the halfway house these animals need while they wait to become the next Dougie in a loving family."
