Tom clearly approves of winter.
Happy dog, cold nose, zero worries.
And while he plays, we keep working to make sure all our dogs have food, warmth, and a safe place to keep. 🤍

Your support helps us give the same to so many others. 🐾🐶❄️

Safe.
Happy.
Full of delight… with no baby showers in sight. ✅

Gor is doing better. He has started eating pureed, soft food, and his appetite is good. For the next ten days or so, he will need to stay on a strictly soft diet, and then the vets will reassess based on how his body responds.

Yesterday, we brought Gor to the shelter. Of course, ideally he would have stayed in the clinic a few more days to finish his IV treatments. But our clinic bill is already very large, and we simply couldn’t extend his stay any longer. Instead, the vets adjusted his treatment plan. Gor is now on injections, medications, and Omeprazole (Omez) capsules, which we will continue to give him carefully and consistently.

It is still far too early to talk about full recovery. Gor’s wounds are just starting to heal. We will continue his rehabilitation at the shelter, including wound care, medications, injections, and close monitoring.

Despite everything he has been through, Gor is a kind, gentle dog. For him, the shelter feels like paradise after the horrors he survived. A safe place, food, and people who do not hurt him.

Now we need help to continue his recovery. We are asking for support to help cover his outstanding clinic bill, special soft food, medications and injections, wound care supplies and procedures, rehabilitation for a severely malnourished body.

Every donation helps us give Gor not just survival, but a real chance to heal. Thank you for standing with him. 🤍🐾

Abba update ♥️

Abba is feeling so much better. You can almost feel her relief through the screen. She’s still at the clinic, waiting for her final test results so she can safely return to her foster home. We want to be extra careful, especially to protect her foster mom’s senior dog who has epilepsy.
For now, Abba is safe, monitored, and clearly on the right path. Given everything that’s happened to other pups lately, this feels like a small pocket of good news, and we’re holding onto it.
We do need help covering her clinic stay while we wait for the green light to send her home. Every bit truly helps and keeps this story moving forward, the way it should.

Thank you for being here with us 🌱

This is the story of two girls we promised to tell while we were caring for Miron and his siblings.
If only people wouldn’t abandon their pets. Seeing them like this, you can’t think in terms of budget spreadsheets. You just act — it’s a moral reflex.

And we kept seeing them by the grocery store while taking the puppies to the clinic. They would walk up to people, hoping for a bit of kindness. They were looking for help, hungry and trying to survive the freezing cold. They were clearly once someone’s pets and weren’t afraid of people. Yet.

We saw them more than once, and each time we hoped we’d find a way to help.
But our foster homes had a parvo risk, and we had nowhere safe to bring them yet.
Then a few days later, we saw a man kicking them — simply because one of the girls sniffed his grocery bag. Our planning stopped. We couldn’t walk past them and pretend they weren’t there.
We brought them to the clinic, the only place we could find.
It took them two days to warm up — not to people, but from the cold they had been living in. And then they ate. And ate. And ate.
They were examined by a veterinarian and, to our relief, both girls are healthy.
They are incredibly sweet, gentle, and trusting.
We named them Tina and Naya.
The clinic has a small pet hotel where they are staying at a discounted rate for rescues like ours ($280 a month for both including food).
They still need to be spayed, and we need help to continue their care and pay for boarding.🙏 Our ultimate goal is to help them find a loving home, wherever in the world it may be.
Thank you for being here with us, especially during days like these. 🤍🐾

Remember Tom?
He was the little dog we pulled from a village where abandoned dogs don’t last long. When we saw him first he was chewing on a wooden bench.
Tom was more than ready to leave that life behind.
He moved into boarding like he belonged there all along. Made several friends right away. Tom was definitely someone’s dog once. He walks up to people with trust, tail wagging, eyes soft.
And he smiles with his whole body. The kind of smile that shows up in the way he walks, rests, leans into people.
Sometimes you look at a dog and realize how close life came to going another direction.
Tom didn’t have time to get worn down. And now and is safe. He didn’t have time to learn fear or hunger or cold. He was scooped up right when it mattered. Tom has been vetted and neutered.
Now what he needs is a home.
And whoever adopts him is going to be very, very lucky.

Gor is Alive and Safe.

Gor made it through surgery.
He underwent a major abdominal operation to correct severe stomach dilation and torsion. He woke up from anesthesia normally, which is a huge relief.
For large breeds like Gor, gastric torsion is often fatal without immediate help. Many dogs don’t survive more than a day if surgery isn’t done in time. The fact that Gor made it to surgery and survived is nothing short of a miracle.
For now, Gor is not allowed to eat. After surgeries like this, dogs are supported with IV fluids and medications instead of food. The IVs are also helping his head injuries, which were severe.
He is stable, monitored around the clock, and will need to remain in the clinic for at least another week. The road ahead is still long, but today he is alive, and he is finally safe.
Thank you to everyone who is standing with Gor. We will keep you updated. 🤍🐾

Update on Sunny.

After the parvo scare, Sunny has been fighting so hard. She spent days on IVs and injections. She couldn’t eat. She couldn’t drink. The doctors were supporting her around the clock, and we were just waiting for any sign that her little body was ready to try again.

Yesterday, the doctors told us that Sunny started drinking water on her own. And today we got another message that made our hearts jump: she crawled to the bowl herself and licked some pâté.

Sunny did test positive for parvo, but the vets believe this is very likely a false positive reaction to a recent vaccination. Based on how she’s responding and what they’re seeing clinically, gastroenteritis is now considered the more likely diagnosis. She is still fragile and remains under close medical care. Treatment is ongoing, and this fight isn’t over. Not even close. Her treatment continues, and the bills keep growing.

Please, if you can, help us keep going for Sunny 🙏🏻
She has already survived more than any puppy ever should.
We don’t want her story to end here.

Meet Gor. He survived unimaginable cruelty and is fighting for his life right now. With your help, he can heal, recover, and have a safe future—far from the horrors he endured.

Local officials were driving through a small rural village when they heard something that stopped them cold. A dog was screaming. Not barking. Screaming. Choking, wheezing, crying in a way that no longer sounded like an animal.
They followed the sound and found a nightmare.
A large Central Asian Shepherd was tied to a tree with a thick rope. Several men were standing around him, laughing. Children were running nearby. The men were beating the dog over the head with a shovel.
They had just started, enjoying themselves. But the dog had been tied there much longer. You could see it on his neck. The rope had cut deep into the skin from how hard he tried to break free.
The officials rushed in, shouting, trying to stop it. A fight almost broke out. Eventually, the men backed off and animal control was called immediately. When confronted, the men openly said the dog had been roaming the village and stealing chickens. They explained, without shame, that bullets cost money. A shovel was cheaper. And killing him slowly was “entertainment.”
They were angry not because of what they had done, but because someone stopped them. Because their children didn’t get to watch.
When Gor was untied, he collapsed. He had no strength left to stand. He had to be transported under sedation because he no longer understood who was trying to help and who wanted to hurt him.
Gor was taken to an animal control facility, where by pure chance our volunteer was there photographing dogs. She saw Gor.
We rushed him straight to the clinic.
At first, everyone feared his skull was crushed. Miraculously, the bone itself wasn’t broken. The men were interrupted in time. But his head was covered in deep, severe wounds.
Then the vets noticed something else. His abdomen was dangerously swollen. X-rays showed gastric torsion and acute stomach dilation. A condition that, especially in this breed, is almost always fatal without immediate surgery.
Despite his critical head injuries, Gor was taken straight into emergency surgery. There was no time to wait.
Gor is also severely underweight. He is missing around 44 pounds (20 kg) from his normal body weight, the result of prolonged hunger and neglect. The stomach torsion likely happened from starvation. He had been eating whatever he could find. Bones, scraps, anything. His stomach was packed.
Gor survived unimaginable cruelty. But survival now comes with a cost.

Emergency surgery. Intensive care. Treatment for head trauma. Pain management. Recovery that will not be fast or easy.
We are asking for help to give him a chance at a life that doesn’t revolve around suffering.
Please help us be there for him now. 🙏🐾

Our focus right now is not on investigations or outcomes. It’s on Gor. On his recovery, his safety, and giving him a future far away from violence.

Rexanne once knew what it meant to be abandoned.
Like so many dogs who are left behind, forgotten, moved from place to place without anyone truly choosing them.
This holiday season, we hope something simple.
That Rexanne finds a home.
And that every dog who was abandoned, overlooked, or left waiting… finds their person too.
A home doesn’t have to be perfect.
It just has to be real.
If Rexanne speaks to you, reach out or share.
She’s ready.
Wishing warmth and kindness to everyone this season.
🎄🐾
