When 8-year-old Ali lost her person, she lost her entire world. 💔 She arrived at Animal Friends emaciated, filthy, and clearly in need of urgent care. But despite everything she’d been through, Ali greeted them with gentle eyes and a heart ready to heal.

Thanks to a grant from The Grey Muzzle Organization, Ali received the medical attention she so desperately needed—including care for her laryngeal paralysis and collapsing trachea. 💛 Once she reaches a healthy weight, she’ll also be spayed and have a painful toe removed—setting her up for a brighter, healthier future.

In the care of a loving foster family, Ali has blossomed. She’s gained weight, grown stronger, and is finally starting to look and feel like the vibrant dog she was always meant to be. 🐾

Her fosters call her “the perfect pup,” and we couldn’t agree more. Soon, Ali will be ready to find a new forever home where she’ll never have to face heartbreak or hunger again.

Thanks to you Grey Muzzle supporters, Animal Friend's was able to help Ali begin again.🙏

CORALINE
Age: 1 year old chocolate female
Weight: Medium (50-75 lbs)
Good with: Kids 10+, dogs; cats unknown
Needs: A single family home with a physical fence
House trained? Probably; she's keeping her run clean
Crate trained? Unknown

Loves: Water, playing with other dogs
Working on: Finding a home that appreciates her energy and sense of fun
Dream home: With a pool or near water, but she'll be happy with a kiddie pool in the yard and active humans to love, train and exercise her

Coraline is looking for the secret door to her forever home! She knows there are people who must be searching for her, too - a beautiful chocolate girl who plays exceptionally well with other dogs, especially young and active pups who can match her energy and style of play. Coraline loves to swim and splash in the water. She's been accused of being a "pool hog" but she just can't help herself! Coraline would love a forever or foster home where she can be her silly self and run and play to her heart's content. She gets along great with everyone, but the vet staff noted that she seems to gravitate toward women. She's a real girl's girl!

MOLLY #3 & JOPLIN
Age: Both are black females; Molly is 10 & Joplin is 9
Weight: Both girls are Medium (50-75 lbs)
Good with: Kids 10+ years & dog; unknown with cats
Needs: Single-family home; a fence is not required (but no e-fence); they are bonded and must be adopted together
House trained? Yes
Crate trained? Yes

Love: Running in the yard & playing fetch
Working on: Finding a loving home to replace the one they lost
Dream home: Anywhere they can be together, with room to run and play

MOLLY and JOPLIN love each other and want to stay together, always. We are committed to making that happen. These girls had a loving home for years, then something happened and their whole world changed. Even so, they are happy, friendly, and full of life. They enjoy playing so much it almost seems like they've found the Fountain of Youth. Molly is the more independent one of the pair and loves to explore everything around her. Joplin sticks to her foster mom's side no matter what she is doing. Both girls are ready to give life another go around, with no hard feelings about the past. They'll brighten up any home and just hope the next one really will be forever.

THANKS TO A GENEROUS DONOR WHO WANTS TO HELP ALL SENIOR PUPS FIND THEIR FOREVER HOMES, THE ADOPTION FEE FOR THIS BONDED PAIR IS $250.

The panic sets in as soon as you see it: Your horse is hopping around, dead lame. You breathe a sigh of relief when your vet gets out the hoof testers and tells you it’s “just” an abscess. But what treatment can you use to get a hoof abscess to heal as quickly as possible?
