Purrfectly Wonky Animal Rescue

01/06/2026

Last week, Perfect Pet Adoption Center Inc. and I saved 17 lives.

Seventeen dogs who were running out of time.
Seventeen dogs whose names were already written on a list for Friday.

This is a VERY high-kill shelter — the kind where dozens of dogs are scheduled for euthanasia every single week.
Every. Single. Friday.
Not because they’re sick.
Not because they’re aggressive.

But because there is simply no space.

Young dogs.
Tiny puppies.
Purebreds.
Mamas still nursing their babies.

Lives that mattered just as much as any other… reduced to a date on a calendar.

It’s heartbreaking.
And it’s the brutal reality of how broken animal welfare laws still are — not just here, but in so many states.

But last week… people showed up.

Brandi and TJ drove over 14 hours round trip so dogs could live.
A private transporter stepped in to bring five more from Georgia to Jacksonville yesterday
Jeannine and her husband then drove again — Jacksonville to Deltona — because quitting was never an option.

And our fosters…
Our incredible, compassionate fosters who opened their doors, their homes, and their hearts without hesitation.

Because of you, these dogs didn’t die on a Friday.

They slept on couches.
They felt gentle hands.
They took their first breath of safety.

We could not have saved a single one of them without people who said YES.

And the truth is — we will always need more yeses.

We are a foster-based rescue.
We don’t have a building or facility
All we have is people.

People willing to be a safe place.
A soft landing.
A temporary home until a forever one comes along.

If mass euthanasia breaks your heart…
If you’ve ever looked at a shelter post and wondered “how can this be happening?”
“How can I help?”
If you’ve ever wanted to save a life but didn’t know how —

This is how.

Please apply to foster.
Please be the reason a dog gets another tomorrow.

Because right now, another list is being made for Friday.
And together… we can erase names from it.

Our rescue is in Deltona FL
We provide ALL supplies and medical to foster parents.
Ideally- we prefer Foster’s within an hour of our location

Marvin has found his forever family🩶

01/06/2026

This was not a mystery illness.
This was not cancer, kidney failure, or an underlying medical condition.

Tony did not suffer because his body failed him.
Tony suffered because someone failed him.

He was intentionally deprived of food and water for an extended period of time.
Pure neglect.
A slow, silent kind of suffering that doesn’t leave bruises you can see, but leaves damage all the same.

Tony sees the vet again tomorrow, and we believe his bloodwork has already begun to improve since his last visit. And honestly, the change in him is nothing short of remarkable.

He is a whole new dog.

He eats eagerly now.
He drinks deeply.
His body is rehydrated, his eyes are brighter, and his spirit is waking back up.

He is smart, loyal, and gentle.
He follows me everywhere, my constant shadow, glued to my hip as if he’s making sure I don’t disappear too.

He is wonderful with our pack.
Patient and kind with the foster kittens in our home.
Smart as a whip, eager to learn, eager to please, eager simply to exist without fear.

And it breaks my heart to imagine that a dog like this was ever made to suffer.

I will never understand how someone can intentionally neglect an animal.
How they can watch a life fade and choose to do nothing.

We are pursuing every legal avenue available to us to seek justice for Tony.

The surrendering party still has another dog in their possession. Animal control has been contacted and has attempted follow-up, but there has been no response to the door or to the citations left behind. We will continue pushing forward with charges for animal cruelty and neglect.

Cases like this leave us with complicated emotions.

We are deeply grateful Tony is now safe.
Grateful he was surrendered.
Grateful he is receiving the care, nutrition, and love he so desperately needed.

But gratitude does not erase accountability.

People must be held responsible for the suffering they cause. Animals do not have voices. They rely on us to be their advocates when they cannot speak for themselves.

And this is the part we want people to hear most clearly:

Help exists.

If you cannot afford food.
If you cannot afford basic medical care.
If you are struggling.

Reach out.

Most rescues will help. We will help. There are resources, food banks, assistance programs, and compassionate people who would rather step in than see an animal suffer.

Please ask for help before your pet is knocking on death’s door.
Before the damage is done.
Before a life hangs in the balance.

Tony survived.
Not because he was lucky.
But because someone finally chose to do the right thing.

He deserved better from the start.
And we will make sure his story is not ignored.

MATER IS NOW ON THE EUTHANASIA LIST DUE OUT 1/11 WE NEED A FOSTER HOME URGENTLY

01/04/2026

A few weeks ago, we were contacted regarding an individual seeking to surrender their cat due to an ear polyp.
We were happy to accept her into our care.

For those unfamiliar, an ear polyp is a benign (non-cancerous) growth that commonly develops in a cat’s ear canal or middle ear. While not malignant, these polyps can cause chronic infections, discomfort, head shaking, and pain, making surgical removal the recommended course of treatment in most cases.

We would like to extend a sincere thank-you to Megan, who stepped in as a short-term foster and ensured Meowdeline received bloodwork and a full veterinary exam while awaiting transfer to us.
That support made a significant difference in getting her care started promptly.

Today, Meowdeline underwent surgical removal of her ear polyp, was spayed, and had her vaccines updated.
While she was under sedation, we also performed an oral examination and—despite our best professional composure—the findings can only be described as a hot mess express:/

At this point, we are evaluating the possibility of feline stomatitis versus oral cancer
she will be scheduled with our primary veterinarian for further diagnostics and evaluation.

Meowdeline is approximately one year old, stunning Maine C**n, and currently weighs just 7 pounds.
She arrived thin, emaciated, and severely matted, indicating prolonged neglect and unmet medical needs.

We have an appointment scheduled for next week and are hopeful to gain clarity on her condition and establish a definitive treatment plan.

In the meantime, we are officially welcoming Meowdeline to the rescue and appreciate all the positive thoughts and healing energy sent her way.
We will continue to share updates as we learn more about this resilient young lady!

Our little hiccup is recovering from surgery so well!😩
We’re four days post op

His breathing is officially normal!
Nothing chaotic happening w his incision site ( knock on wood )
He’s eating, drinking, taking his meds, and acting like a normal kitten for the first time in his life!!

Thank you to everyone who made this possible for him🩶

Our Doberman officially has a brand-new name to kick off his second chance at life with a bang…
Please give a warm welcome to Tony Tortellini (yes, the middle name is mandatory )

Tony has been settling into rescue life beautifully.
He’s gentle, sweet, and already acting like he’s been part of the crew forever.

He saw the vet yesterday, and honestly—his bloodwork was better than we expected, which felt like a huge win.
Out of an abundance of caution, Tony is currently hospitalized on IV fluids to help flush his system and support his body as it heals.

Some of his values are off (which isn’t surprising given what he’s been through).
His sodium, chloride, and calcium are elevated, so we’re investigating a few possibilities
things like certain rodenticides, potential medication exposure, or malnutrition-related issues.
We’re taking the safe and proactive route to give him the best chance possible.

Here’s what we’re doing:
• IV fluids with repeat bloodwork to monitor improvement
• A PT/PTT panel — this checks how well his blood is clotting, which is important if there’s any concern about toxin exposure
• A von Willebrand panel — this tests for a clotting disorder that Dobermans are genetically prone to, just to rule it out
• A careful refeeding plan to help his body safely adjust to nutrition again

Tony currently weighs 37 pounds… and he’s meant to be an 80–100 lb dog.
Watching him begin this healing journey is both heartbreaking and hopeful—but we’re in it with him every step of the way.

Since arriving, he’s had a bath, received endless love, and has been thoroughly enjoying being spoiled.
He’s met the crew and has been nothing short of wonderful—kind, ( he was my new years kiss, don’t tell my BF HAHA ) tolerant, and full of quiet gratitude.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who has donated toward Tony’s care, kept him in your thoughts, and sent good vibes his way.
This boy finally has a name, a plan, and a future—and we cannot wait to watch him thrive🩶

✨ WELCOME TO THE RESCUE! ✨

Please help us give the warmest welcome to Mama Bertha and her eight precious puppies, Muffy, Kross, and Bunny!
These sweet souls are now safe and officially part of our rescue family.

This incredible save would not have been possible without the amazing dedication of Brandi and TJ, who spent over 14 hours on the road to bring this family to safety and give them the chance they deserved.
Because of their selflessness, these dogs were saved from euthanasia at a small rural shelter and are now beginning a brand-new chapter filled with hope.

A huge thank you as well to Brandi & Tj , Michelle, Journey & Ryan, and Jennifer and her family for stepping up to foster and making this rescue possible.
It truly takes a village, and we are beyond grateful for each and every one of you. 💛

⚠️ URGENT:
We still have three dogs who desperately need fosters in order to be saved — Prince, Lilli and Justus!

We also need transport help to get them to safety.
Without fosters and transport, their lives are at risk.
If you can transport from Georgia to Fl this week please reach out!

If you can foster, transport, or help in any way — please reach out immediately.

Together, we can save them. 🐾❤️

I don’t know how to put what I’m feeling into words, but I’m going to try.

I’m a rescuer.
I’m a veterinary technician.
I’ve seen some really fu**ed up s**t.
I’ve seen things that stay with you, and things you can’t unsee.

But emaciated dogs will always break me.

Every time.

There is no reason — none — for a dog to look like this.
A body reduced to skin stretched over bone.
So weak he trembles just standing.
Too weak to squat to defecate.
Too weak to lift his leg to p*e.

This isn’t an accident.
This isn’t “he just wouldn’t eat.”
Or “ he stopped eating yesterday” as the ‘owner’ said…
This is textbook animal NEGLECT.

I don’t know his full story before today.
I don’t know how long he suffered like this.
I only know he was surrendered by the person who was supposed to protect and love him.

But today… his new beginning starts.
A road to healing and health.
A road to love, care, nourishment.

He’s pale.
He’s dehydrated.
He’s starving.
My hand can wrap around his entire torso..

He’ll be getting a full veterinary workup — bloodwork, X-rays, IV fluids, and a careful feeding plan — because right now, survival comes before everything else.

Donations towards medical care will be appreciated.
We’ll update on his care, as we receive diagnostics back..

I am heartbroken.
I am angry.
I am exhausted.
And yes… I hate people today. A lot.

But I will love him enough to make up for every day he was forgotten.
And I promise him this:

He will never hurt like this again.

* adoption pending *

✨ Meet Marvin: the long-bodied legend you didn’t know you needed ✨

Marvin is a 6-month-old Dachshund on the hunt for his forever home—and by forever home, he means a place where he is deeply loved, mildly spoiled, and spoken to like a tiny human child.
If you’re looking for a small dog to adore as if you personally gave birth to him… congratulations, you’ve found your son.

Marvin is fun-sized with a BIG personality. He can be a little shy at first, but once he realizes you’re safe (and possibly holding snacks), his true colors come out.
Think energizer bunny, but lower to the ground and dramatically cuter.
He’s playful, silly, and fully committed to being involved in whatever you’re doing—especially if it’s inconvenient.

Marvin has been raised with large and small dogs but seems to like dogs his size better.
He is cat friendly

✨ The important stuff:
• Crate trained
• Working on housebreaking (he’s trying, okay?)
• Rabies & distemper vaccinated
• Neutered
• Microchipped
• Negative for all intestinal parasites
• Healthy and thriving

Marvin would do best with someone who understands that Dachshunds are equal parts dog, comedian, and emotional support noodle. He’s ready to be your couch buddy, your shadow, and the reason your phone storage is suddenly full.

📍 Located in Deltona, FL
Interested in adopting?
Please fill out an adoption application on our website.

Adopt Marvin—because your life is missing one tiny, long dog with main-character energy.

* we are sure that Marvin is going to get a lot of adoption interest, we will be very thorough and picky, as we are with all of our animals who are looking for homes.
When filling out the adoption application, please fill it out entirely and answer all of the questions fully *
Thank You!
