Today is a very hard day for us.
Our little Miron passed away. 😭😔

We fought for him with everything we had. He was on continuous IV fluids, strong pain medications, under constant care. We hoped until the very end. We prayed, held him, and asked for just one thing — for him to live.

Miron was somehow especially special.
One of those souls that your heart attaches to instantly and forever.

Parvovirus was stronger. Sometimes, no matter how hard we try, medicine and love are not enough to defeat the disease.

But Miron did not leave in pain or alone.
He left warm, held, with a name and surrounded by love.

Out of the five puppies we rescued, three have now left us.
We still have Abba and Bailey. These two girls are doing better, and we are holding on to hope — though our hearts are still afraid for them.
Miron will live on in our hearts, and in the hearts of so many people he managed to touch in such a short time.
I am heartbroken that I will never get to see him grow and enjoy life.
This was love without a future — and it is the hardest kind.

Thank you to everyone who donated, who sent messages of support, who worried and hoped together with us. You gave Miron a chance and made sure that his short life was filled with care.
Today hurts deeply. But we will keep saving others.
For him too.
Run free, our sweet Miron. 🐾

URGENT: Sunny had just begun to stabilize when we received a call that she was rapidly deteriorating. At first, we thought we finally had some good news. Miraculously, she did not have life-ending fractures. Despite severe internal bruising from the fall, she was found just in time, and her life was saved. She was stabilized and even being prepared for discharge.

Then everything changed. Sunny suddenly developed severe vomiting and violent diarrhea. She is unable to eat or drink on her own, and we are now fearing the worst: parvo. 😰 In Russia, parvo kills most puppies, and it is no surprise that such a vulnerable baby could have been exposed. Sunny is declining and is now in critical care.

We are pleading with you to please help us save her life 🙏🏻We will fight for her for as long as she is able and willing to fight.

Update: Miron ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

We are alive… but very critical. 😢🥺
Six IV drips later, we’re going home for the night with a load of medications to continue fighting for this little one’s life hoping to survive this night.
This poor boy has lost weight. His little eyes are sunken. He had a fever. He’s coughing. We so want this baby to live.

Your prayers are ALL he needs right now. Please send him strength. 🙏🙏🙏

Update on Rhys

Rhys crossed the border.
And that horrible countdown finally stopped.
We didn’t get the help we hoped for. But when time is running out, you don’t wait. You just do what has to be done. So that’s what we did.
Today, Rhys is no longer a number behind kennel bars.
No bars. No noise that never ends. No fear.
He is home.
Like… real home.
Soft bed, quiet, people who talk to him gently, space to walk, to sniff, to look around without being scared. Watching him now feels almost unreal. His new life is completely opposite of everything he lived before. Like two different planets.
For the first time in his short life, Rhys can just be a young dog.
Not an inmate. Not a deadline.
This is why we do this. Even when it’s heavy. Even when it feels like we’re on our own.
Because for Rhys, the whole world changed.
Welcome to your new life, little one.
Now it finally begins. 🐾🤍

Update on Miron.

Miron survived last night and today. He went through six IV drips. He was also fed by mouth because he still refuses to eat on his own. For a while, he even seemed a little better. Just enough to let us breathe.
And then, once home, he started pooping blood again.
So now we’re waiting for the doctor to come to the house for yet another IV drip.
Our volunteer has barely slept for three days. She is completely exhausted, but she’s watching him closely — every breath, every change, every tiny sign, and acting immediately.
Miron is at home because there is no overnight care at the clinic. And honestly, we believe he has made it this far because he’s here — warm, quiet, with someone next to him all the time.

Bailey and Abba are feeling better today. They’re still being monitored, but seeing them improve gives us a little strength to keep going.

On the drive home from the clinic, we saw a man kicking two young dogs by a grocery store. They came to people for food...They were clearly abandoned, hungry, and freezing. We rescued them too.
But that’s another story.

Please keep Miron in your thoughts tonight. We’re doing everything we possibly can.

If dogs could choose their families, the world would make a little more sense.

Altonya has been returned twice. Not because she’s “difficult” or “wrong”, but because sometimes the match just isn’t there. And dogs feel that long before we do.
This time was different.
This family came to meet another dog. Altonya watched, waited… and then decided. She walked right up to them, claimed them as her people, and that was that. No doubts. No hesitation. She chose them.
And they listened.
Altonya went home.
Now we wait, quietly and hopefully, believing that maybe third time really is the charm. That this is the family she picked, and the place where she finally gets to stay.
Please send good thoughts her way. We really want this chapter to be the last one — and the best one. 🐾

Update on Miron.

Miron made it through the day.
He survived two IV sessions — morning and evening. That alone feels huge.
But he is still critical.
His glucose levels keep dropping, and that’s something that happens with parvo babies when their tiny bodies are exhausted. They’re not eating, they’re fighting infection, and their little systems just burn through everything they have. There’s nothing left in reserve. So when his sugar drops, he needs a shot to bring it back up and keep him going.

He’s tired. And we’re scared. But he’s still here. Still fighting. And we’re staying right with him through the night again.
Please keep Miron in your thoughts. He’s trying so hard. And so are we.

Puppies quick update. 🥺🥺 We didn’t sleep.
This night was incredibly hard.
Earlier, we got the devastating call from the clinic that Venya didn’t make it. This baby felt the worst out of them all but we still hoped. And then, as the night went on, Miron started to get worse. We truly thought we were losing him too.
Tanya stayed with Miron all night — holding him in her arms, keeping him warm, giving him broth and medications, talking to him. And we stayed with them live, just trying to give both of them — Miron and Tanya — the strength to keep fighting.
At some point, Miron fell asleep in her arms. At 6 a.m., he woke up. Miracle?
Abba and Bailey had a slightly better night — they ate and drank a little. Today, the puppies will be getting the next round of IV drips and medications. They’re still very sick, but we’re holding onto hope that love (and the pharmacy) can carry them through.
Please keep them in your thoughts today. We are doing everything we possibly can.

Unfortunately, we felt joy too early.

Four of the rescued puppies became sick with parvovirus. It’s one of the most dangerous things for little ones. This is the cruel part of rescue — even when puppies are brought to safety, the virus can already be inside them. Stress, cold, hunger… it waits, and then it hits.

Everything started at night. And in Russia, there are no emergency clinics we can rush to. We could admit only two puppies right away. For the other two, the doctor came to the house in the middle of the night — IV drips, injections, everything that could be done on the spot.

In the morning, we took them to the clinic for the next round of IVs and medications. From now on, all four will be on IV treatment twice a day until they recover. It’s a long, frightening road.

Rescuing them from freezing cold and cruelty, finally getting them safe… only for them to get this sick — it’s a nightmare for us. I cried all night. There’s nothing harder than watching tiny lives fight like this when you’ve already seen them survive so much.

Today, one of them is doing a bit better. Two are still balancing on the edge and one is critical. We’re scared and exhausted. But we’re not giving up on them.

It will be a second night these babies fight for their lives.. Please keep them in your thoughts. 🙏 Donate if you can. Thank you for standing with us, especially when rescue hurts like this.

Puppy Thrown from a Roof is Fighting for Her Life

Sunny’s only "fault" is that she was born into this cruel world. Born in the streets in rural Russia, this tiny girl did not have much of a chance to begin with. Her little family became a target for local teens, who entertain themselves by torturing dogs. This group of teens is known to the locals, but they are untouchable because their parents hold important positions in the Russian military.
During one of their entertainment sessions, they found Sunny’s family and killed her mama and all of her litter mates. We will not go into detail - it is too gruesome to describe.
Sunny is the only survivor. She was thrown off the roof of a 5-floor building with the intent to kill. By some miracle, Sunny landed on the awning above the entrance door and survived. However, she was badly injured and was unable to move.
By the time our volunteers were alerted, Sunny’s no longer had strength to whimper. She did not look alive, her body was limp, but she was still breathing. When we got her to the clinic, examination revealed that Sunny is only 8 weeks old. She has multiple injuries, including severe bruising to most of her internal organs, free fluid in her abdomen, a fractured leg, and a possible head trauma. While these are serious injuries, she has a good chance to recover. She is currently being stabilized at the clinic.

Please stand with us to give little Sunny a chance🙏🏻 She is a fighter and is such a sweet little baby… she has her whole life ahead of her. We cannot do this without you.

Update: NOLA

Nola is still fighting. Our sweet girl wants to live, and she sees every day as a gift. She’s now in hospice care, and for the first time in her life, she is truly loved and spoiled. She has a warm bed, tasty food, and endless cuddles. Even though her cancer is terminal and surgery is no longer an option, Nola is enjoying the care and attention she has never known before.
To help support her as best we can, we’ve shipped her Critical Defense supplement to give her body a little extra support. She will never be alone, never neglected, never left to suffer. Every day she spends surrounded by warmth and kindness is a day she has never known before.
Thank you for giving her this chance to feel safe, loved, and cherished. 💛

Update: PUPPIES

The five pups from the wooded area are doing okay! We were able to get them vaccinated and they’re now staying at a boarding facility — completely separate from other dogs. We had to do that because they’re young and vulnerable. It’s a small safety measure, but it keeps them alive.
The puppies from the box are living with a local person we arranged care with. One little guy is very sick, and we are throwing everything we’ve got at getting him better. The rest, thankfully, are holding on okay, and we’re watching them closely.
The third litter… luck was on their side. Other volunteers stepped in to take all 5 of them, because honestly, we simply cannot afford to care for so many babies at once. Some days it feels like the load is too heavy — so many lives depending on us, so few hands and resources. But seeing even one pup safe and warm makes it worth it. We’re exhausted, but we’re not giving up.
Thank you to everyone who donated! But if not, and If you’ve ever thought about helping, even a little, it matters more than you know. Every bit of support helps us carry this load and keep these babies alive.
