We have been helping Sweet Lola for several years now with her medical care and food. Received an urgent call from her mom last night saying Lola was very sick and the vet suspected pyometra, she needed surgery asap. She didn’t have the funds and needed our help and we said yes.

Her surgery was this morning, we were very worried about her as her bloodwork was concerning, she was almost septic.

Thankfully, we just got this message from her owner :

Dr kraabel just called. She's is out of surgery and doing well! He said she remained stable throughout, they didn't need to do anything extra because her blood pressure remained stable, and he said it was definitely her uterus (big and yucky). They're going to keep her on iv fluids for now and I can pick her up around 4. He said she'll be sent home with a couple antibiotics and she'll need to do some follow up lab test in about a week. I am beyond grateful for you to have been brought into our lives. You are one of earths angels. Lola is one tough girl, shes endured so much in her life. She's my best friend and has the most beautiful soul. She has been with me during some very very hard times, and vice versa! I am so thankful to be given more time to share with her.

We are grateful that AARF was in the position to help Lola and her mom so that they will have many more years together❤️

Here are a few of the cuties that we continue to support with healthy food, supplies and medical expenses.

Lola is a much loved senior pittie we have supported for several years. She has chronic allergies, ear infections and UTI’s. AARF covered all her testing and will continue to pay for her medical costs and healthy food.

Lucky lives unhoused with her dad. Another dog we have commited to support long term with healthy food and supplies - winter coats and safety harnesses.

Franklin is in foster with our sister rescue in Louisiana - we committed to pay his medical expense and provide healthy food. he is an older guy with heartworm, so it will be a while before he is healthy enough to find his own home, but until then we will make sure his needs are covered.

From our sister rescue in Louisiana,  if you are able, please sponsor one of the sweet pups on their journey north. The need right now is so great, without funds they cannot continue to save these deserving animals.

AARF has paid $1,000 towards their Parvo fight.

Thank you ❤️

Do you remember this sweet little family that sat in the shelter for a month, no one wanted to take a chance on them except us! We were finally able to pull them and then 3 days later the puppies came down with Parvo💔 We ended up loosing one of them even though he fought valiantly! The rest pulled through and look at them now! Friday they will be leaving to go to Fetch Wisconsin Rescue💚 Momma dog (Chiclet) isn’t ready to go just yet as she still needs lots of work being socialized and learning how to be a member of a family. We have big hopes for her as she has come a long way already!

‼️We are needing funds to help these sweet puppies and another foster make their way up north. Could you sponsor a puppy or sweet Bellah for 30$? Our PayPal is:

Lola is having an ultrasound today in hopes of figuring out why she’s getting multiple UTIs and is having incontinence. AARF has been helping this sweet girl with her medical bills and supplying high-quality food.

Please send some good vibes her way ❤️

Today we were able to help Dakota who was suffering from hot spots, flea allergies and a nasty infection on her bum. Her new dad took her when her homeless owner could no longer care for her and just needed a little help to get her healthy. Once her infection. is under control we will get her spayed.

Feel better soon sweet girl!

Our sister rescue in Louisiana is battling Parvo with a litter they saved from the shelter. Sadly, they lost one last week and now two more are sick.

Parvo is expensive to treat and this small rescue can’t afford these costs but it’s the puppies only hope.

AARF has put $500 towards thier bill but they need more - please see below on how you can help these sweet puppies, they deserve a chance ❤️

Louisiana Lifeline:

Wish so very hard that I had good news to share this morning but sadly I don’t😢
Two more puppies from the original litter of 5 have come down with Parvo and are now admitted at Entrance Road Veterinary Clinic for fluids and meds. Big Red is the sickest. They didn’t start showing symptoms till Saturday when the vets offices were closed💔 I worked all weekend trying to keep them hydrated and treated, brought them in first thing this morning. Big Red is the sweetest little boy and it breaks my heart to see him so very sick, his pleading eyes asking for help breaks my heart over and over again! Please pray that they can kick Parvo’s butt and bring their love and joy to another family in the future!
Our vet bills are getting out of control and we would greatly appreciate any and all help we can get!
Can call in a donation to Entrance Road vet at: (337) 537-2454, Lousiana Lifeline for k9’s account.

Meet Franklin

This sweet older gentlemen sat in a kennel for 7 months in a rural Louisiana shelter hoping someone would come for him, no one did.

Yesterday he was scheduled to be euthanized as the shelter had to make room for incoming dogs. Fortunately a foster stepped up and our sister rescue was able to pull him along with 2 other dogs that were on the euth list.

Franklin is showing signs of advanced heartworm disease; labored breathing. cough and most likely fluid in his belly.

AARF is sponsoring his medical costs as they will be extensive with the diagnostics and treatment needed to save his life.

He is a sweet and happy boy and deserves a second chance to have a great life ❤️

** Franklin has a vet appointment Monday for a comprehensive checkout to come up with a plan for treatment

The temperature is dropping so we made sure Lucky had a new warm coat. Lucky and her dad are homeless, we have been supplying her with healthy food for the last couple of years.

Goose is looking for his forever home, could that be you?

Goose is an absolute sweetheart who we adopted three years ago through AARF. Around the time he was a year old it became clear that our household environment and neighborhood was a bit too stressful for him - a lot of constant noise from a park nearby and a lot of dogs on our block made for sort of non-stop noise. We also have a very small backyard and he absolutely loves just lounging around outdoors which he couldn’t quite do as much as he wanted to! He has been fostering outside of Seattle for about a year in Renton - in a much quieter environment with a larger backyard and a very adorable Chihuahua whom he loves. He has really thrived out there! His foster parent can no longer foster him, and despite other efforts, we haven’t found another adopter that might be a good fit. If you or someone you know might be interested, we would love to talk more! Please check out his profile on Home to Home to read more about him and see how happy and fun-loving this little guy is.

This week we paid the medical expenses for 4 adults and 11 puppies from an overflowing rural Louisiana shelter so that they can have a chance to find forever homes up north.

We are so grateful for our sister rescue Louisiana Lifelines who is on the front line saving these forgotten and unwanted babies.
