Rocky update!!! Thank you to every one who donated towards his care. Unfortunately the vet here was too expensive and I couldn't afford to keep him in there. I pulled him from the vet and he received his treatment at my house. A few more days of medicine and this boy will be ready for adoption.

I reached out to a foundation here that is going to assist in finding a home for him as well as for Pepe, the other dog I rescued while here.

I will need to cover the cost of those sterilizations, so any help with that will be very much appreciated.

Prayers that Rocky and Pepe have no trouble finding their forever humans

Rocky: These people who clean car windows at a traffic light always have puppies with them. This one seemed half dead today. I asked them to give me the dog but they weren't going to hand it over for free. I don't support buying dogs BUT this one looked at me with those eyes like he was asking for help. So I bought him. His gums are WHITE. Wouldn't eat or drink, pooping water, too weak to stand or walk. I took him to the vet and he tested positive for Parvo. My choices were to either put him to sleep or admit him into the hospital as I cant have a dog with parvo here as I have 2 kids and 11 other dogs. I choose to admit him in the hospital. I figured I already paid for him, and he looked at me for help, so im going to give him the fighting chance. He will be at the hospital for a few weeks, if he makes it. I gave him the chance, the rest is up to him. He can come here once his parvo is cured. I paid the people 150,000COP for him, Paid 100,000COP for the parvo test, and 400,000COP for the fee to admit him in the hospital. The hospital is saying it may cost about 2,000,000COP by the time he is ready to come home. So far I spent 159.78 USD and am probably going to be spending about 500usd more. ANY help is very much appreciated, Making this post PUBLIC so all can share. TY Friends

If you choose to rescue animals, I am going to give you some sound advice - Grow thick skin and don't care what people think of you. I have known people to lose the battle with their minds and we just lost a kind, caring individual in my rescue network. Compassion fatigue is real, but nothing is worth your life. No pet. No rescue. No person's opinion. Nothing.
In rescue, that person that tells you what an angel you are and how wonderful you are every time you pick up a stray pet thrown at their door will also be the first person who tells people how your organization is worthless when you don't have space to pick up the 30th pet thrown off on their property. It's ok.
In rescue, the adopter that leaves you the five star review about how wonderful everyone has been will change that review quick when they return the pet even though you have spent hours trying to keep it in their home. One star reviews are ok.
In rescue, your friend will be your friend until you deny their application for a pet because they are a great friend but a terrible pet owner. That's ok too.
In rescue, you will answer 143 calls in a day (yesterday to be exact). But if you miss 6 calls in a row while you are in the shower, you will be the one who "never answers their phone". It's ok.
In rescue, other rescuers and random trolls will judge everything you do but never have time to pitch in a hand to help when they see something needing more attention. They will, however, have lots of time to talk about how they’d do it better while they harass and judge you. It will be ok.
In rescue, you will have to involve animal control and the police department sometimes. The people who you take pets from will hate you - and I mean REALLY hate you. Trust me, it's ok.
In rescue, pets will be put down and pets will die at the hands of abusers. We can't save them all - and that's ok. We save the ones that we can and pray for peace for the ones we can't.
I have been in the animal rescue world since 2009. I have dealt with every problem and every situation imaginable. I used to take some things to heart, then I realized - I am doing this for the animals, not for any person in this world. I have found my joy and no person will take that. If you are in rescue, don't let anyone or anything take your joy. Find peace that you will never please everyone. Find peace that you will never save them all. Never allow something you love to turn into something that ends your life.

Andrew is a great guy! I've had the pleasure of meeting both Andrew and Dee and they are amazing people. Not only that, but they adopted a special needs pup from me a few years back, making them even greater people! Andrew and Dee love to help and give back when they can, now Andrew is in need and its our turn to help him. Even if its $5, anything helps. Lets share this everywhere! TY Cuenca community!

So Ginnys owner was an expat who adopted her out to another expat because he was leaving for the states. This expat that adopted her claims she bit his friend so he had another friend take her to a shelter (which sounds like complete bu****it because we dont have shelters hear that take in dogs) and Ginny tore up the drivers car so they put her out of the car. Ginny was found with broken lets and needs a $600 surgery. The vet located her previous owner and new owner and was blocked on whatsapp by the new owner. Neither has offered anything for Ginnys surgery. Attention other rescues, please do not adopt out to a Mr. Kenneth M., it seems like he lacks accountability. Im being nice by not tagging him and not posting a last name. The vet does not believe the dog is a biter as she is in extreme pain and has not tried to bite anyone while shes been in their care.

Pawswithhope is full and I am raising money for our own needs But I was reached out to by this vet who asked me to please help them raise the funds as they care for the dog. She will not be part of pawswithhope, as I told them they are responsible for finding her a home. I am posting the paypal of a worker at the vet. If you would like his whatsapp number please PM me. Any help is appreciated. This dog is not part of pawswithhope, but she deserves a chance just like every dog.

TY!

Urgent need for help for BRUNO. Remember Bruno who was found on new years eve? Bad news is his owner never claimed him. Good news is that a wonderful woman has temporarily opened her home to him so that he can get his weekly chemo treatments. We desperately need to catch up on the vet treatments so that Bruno can continue getting treated. Any help is very very much appreciated.

We are also in desperate need of dog food. Located in Cuenca.

Looking for a FOREVER companion? Please contact me. Bruno and many others are in need of their forever humans.

URGENT. Bruno ran away from his foster before his first chemo. We found him very far away. He has been picked up and received his first chemo today. The foster cannot take him back. We need a foster or a forever home for him TODAY. Cuenca, Ecuador. After chemo he will be able to live out the rest of his days. Please someone step up! This boy deserves a chance.

We need to get his chemo paid ASAP and need $$ for blood work.

URGENT Bruno escaped from his foster before starting Chemo! Well we found him! Beat up by dogs again. His foster cannot take him back and we will have to him put down if someone doesn't step up now to foster :(

2 for 1??? (Just because they look a like- Can be adopted together or seperate)

Anyone looking for a loving forever furr companion? If so, Paws with Hope Cuenca has a few dogs who are looking for their forever people.

Bailey is about 5 years old, sterilized female. She loves to play fetch and understand the command "drop it". She is medium/slender in size. Gets a long well with most other dogs. She is not meant for the farm, as chickens are her weakness :). She loves walks. Looking for an active companion? Bailey may be your girl!

Jiro is about 2 or 3 years old. He is fairly new, and will be sterilized before going to his forever home. Hes large/slender in size, does well on a leash, and loves to cuddle. Looking for a loyal companion? Jiro may be your boy!

Contact me to meet Bailey, Jiro, or any of our other adoptable current rescues.

Please consider donating to our expenses, such as dog food, vet bill, cat food, cat litter, ect.

URGENT - Bruno needs a forever home for the rest of his days. This old man stumbled into supermaxi las Americas on news years eve. Before the employees could kick him out I offered to get him to the vet. I just got word back from the vet. He has a tumor, tvt, ear infection, was sterilized, had surgery, and needs chemo. Unfortunately I cannot have him here as there is no room for him and my hands are full with the ones I have. I really want to give this old guy a chance to live out the rest of his days with love and care that he prob never received. If someone can foster him or give him a loving home please contact me as my only other option is having him humanly euthanized :(. Foster or adopter would need to be in Cuenca for now, as I would pick him up and drop him back off on Saturdays for his chemo treatments for the next few weeks. Please spread this post. Bruno deserves a chance.

His vet bill is growing by the minute and chemo is not cheap. To donate PayPal or zelle: [email protected]

I know I posted asking for dog food today. Unfortunately it never seems to end. Picked this boy up and he is currently at Clinica Veterinaria Gallardo Javier Gallardo . He was supposedly attacked by a gang of dogs today. I have seem this dog on the streets and have been wanting to take him off the streets. He seems like a mellow guy. Unfortunately I couldn't take him as I have no where to put him and I still don't have anywhere to put him.

Adopter?

Cuenca peeps. Kitties for adoption!

15/11/2023

Great news! For those who have been following the case about Trinity, she is doing much better and has found her forever human. She will be leaving us on Friday to go to her new home. We will follow up with her and arrange her sterilization in the weeks to come.

Thank you to all who have donated to her vetting and care.

We still have other dogs who are in need of their forever humans. Unfortunately we can't keep up their needs and it's in their best interest to find the forever homes that they need.

Scooter- little Scooter is very stressed here and desperately needs a home to call his own. He was adopted and had a home of his own for 2 years. U fortunately he was returned when the adopter could no longer care for him. He has not adjusted well at all. I really want to see him happy.

Osa- she's a great girl. Walks great on leash, cuddles, and just wants love and attention.althiuhh she is on the bigger side she would still do great in an apartment as long as she gets proper walks. She cannot be placed in a home with cats or chickens.

Looking to adopt? Please message me.

We always are in need of cat food, car litter, and dog food as it goes so quick here. Any help is very much appreciated.
