Meet Milaydi, a two-year-old pup left without a home after her owner, activist Margarita Posada, was denied healthcare and tragically passed away. The pastor of a parish in San Salvador took her in, but she needs to be spayed before finding a permanent home. We're supporting this GoFundMe to help cover the vet expenses. Your donation will help Milaydi find a loving, permanent home.

Please consider giving.

Attention El Paso! Meet Sunha and Luna, two young puppies who traveled all the way from Venezuela with their human family in search of asylum. They've been trekking on foot and sleeping outside - a journey that we can only imagine. Now, this family needs our help to stay together during the final stages of their journey to Dallas. Can you lend a hand?

We're calling on the community to help Mascotas para Migrantes. We're in need of someone who can travel to Juarez this Sunday (6/25) to meet the family and bring Sunha and Luna to El Paso. We're also looking for someone who is willing to temporarily host these extraordinary and exhausted puppies until the 28th. Don't worry about supplies - we've got that covered.

Let's help keep this family together. Please reach out if you're able to help.

Another heartbreaking story — we are thankful for the helpers.

Venezuelan migrant Brayan Pinto, 18, and his small fluffy white dog, Brandy, trekked together across several countries and a treacherous tropical jungle to reach the U.S.-Mexico border.

If you haven’t seen Tomi’s story, take a look. (We linked to his Instagram posts and provided some photos below!) Tomi, along with his human, left Venezuela, traveled across Panama, Costa Rica, Honduras, Mexico, and finally made it to the US. They traveled so far — on foot and paw — as family.

Update! Remember Lucy and Coco — two dogs separated from their asylum seeking families? We have great news — thanks to you, we’ve raised enough that both of these pups have flights to reunite with their families! However, The Buddy Foundation needs more support — they’re driving four hours round-trip to reunite another family! Can you help with gas, travel costs, and this happy reunion?

Help The Buddy Foundation keep families together — pets and all. This amazing organization is a friend of Mascotas para Migrantes and they do great work. Please help their work in Eagle Pass, TX as they work to transport dogs (and cats) who have been separated from their family. Any donation will help, starting with these two dogs pictured below!

Update from the Buddy Foundation on the GoFundMe: We currently have two dogs — Lucy and Coco — who need at least $700 each to be flown to and reunited with their families in New York and Miami. We’ve set a stretch goal of $5,000 to help with the dogs we rescue weekly after they’ve been relinquished by Border Patrol. Help us keep these families together — after seeking safety and asylum in the United States, these families deserve to be whole once more.

You may have seen journalist Paul Ratje’s photos of a family separated from their dog in Eagle Pass, Texas this weekend. We are thrilled to report that The Buddy Foundation tracked down the puppy and, alongside Border Patrol, reunited this family. What a great way to start the week!

Jack and his human were reunited last week and we couldn’t be happier! This wouldn’t be possible without our amazing volunteers who help with transportation and fostering — it takes a village to keep families together!

An uplifting story from El Paso Matters on the efforts of Bridge Pups Rescue to reunite Simba and his family! We thank everyone who donated and sent well wishes for this family.

A Border Patrol agent reached out to Bridge Pups Rescue to help foster the pup while the family was cleared for entry into the United States.

While we aren’t directly associated with this GoFundMe we encourage our followers and volunteers to help reunite this family!

“Hi, my name is Suleman and I’m a 2-year-old kitty in Mexico…my family was in danger and had to seek asylum in the US , but the border agents wouldn’t let me come with them. They don’t think pets like me are family members even though I love my family very much and I miss them every day. I want to return to them, but cats like me can’t fly alone, so somebody has to take me to them. I will appreciate forever anybody who can help me see my family again!!

All donations go to airfare (San Diego to North Dakota)/pet fees and are greatly appreciated!!”

FOSTER NEEDED in El Paso:

Hi all, Mascotas para Migrantes is working with a local lawyer in hopes of helping this pup who has been separated from her human. Here's what she shared:

This female dog (I’m calling her Ruby), approximately 4-6 years old according to my vet, was accompanying a minor migrant from Guatemala when he was detained by the feds on Dec. 26th. The minor was separated from the dog upon detention. After a few days, the dog ended up at the City Shelter. The optimal situation would be to reunite the minor with his dog, but I do not know the minor’s name nor where he might be at this point, so reunification seems like a big long shot.

Our local congresswoman’s office was unable to help since minors’ information is not released by the feds. Our main migrant assistance group was not sure how to find the minor either.

If you have any migrant organization contacts, maybe it is just a question of putting the word out that this dog could be reunited with her minor if he can take her to wherever he is headed.

Ruby did well in her wellness check at my vet, but she is about 10 lbs underweight. She is fine with my other foster dog (a neutered male lab mix). She was spayed on Tuesday (Jan. 4th). She was totally hugging the vet tech at my vet’s office & she was well behaved with the vet.

Ruby walks great on a leash connected to her fancy harness, which seems to have been made just for her.

However, Ruby is extremely cat reactive, so I will have to return her to the City of El Paso Animal Shelter soon as I have several cats & it is not safe for her to be in a house with cats. She needs a home (that has NO CATS). Ruby is very athletic & can climb up a cat tower or counter to get a cat, so she definitely needs a very secure yard. It would be great to find her a foster so she doesn’t have to sit at the Shelter.

If you can help, or you know someone who might be able to foster Ruby, please us know!

The staff at the Kabul Small Animal Rescue has been working around the clock to pull off what feels like the impossible.

The mission? Fundraise at least $1.5 million for a cargo plane that can airlift more than 200 dogs and cats, the rescue organization's staff, and their families out of the capital safely — all in less than a week and while the Taliban are breathing down their necks.

Kabul Small Animal Rescue's American director is raising money to airlift more than 200 dogs and cats, the group's staff and their families before foreign troops leave at the end of the month.

An ask from our friends at Bridge Pups Rescue!

This is the look Lina gives us when we need more volunteers. San Diego and El Paso folks, who can help us out in the next two weeks?

We need folks who can host dogs for a few days and folks who can walk or drive pets across ports of entry. Help us help asylum seekers bring their pets with them to the United States!
