💞HEADS UP - We need some help!💞

These two cuties are in the Farmington Pound, and although one came in wearing a flea collar, they haven’t been reclaimed. We have placement for them both IF we can get them fully vetted. I’m expecting a bill of about $250 to cover everything.

Can you help??

This sweet girl is Bella. She is a 4 month old Belgian shepherd and currently at the Potosi pound with an injured back leg.

We need to get her into a vet, but funds are limited. Can you spare a couple of dollars and help us out?

10/25/2024

This is the little guy y’all have been helping us raise funds to send to the vet. He has a rescue tag IF we can find a temporary foster!! Please let us know if you’re willing to bring him into your home for a little bit - you could be the one to save his life! ❤️

10/25/2024

Update: we were able to send $130 to the vet thanks to everyone’s generous donations!!

We have yet to receive any donations for this baby 😩 vet estimate in the comments, as well as donation links. Make sure you put “Iron Dogz” in the notes!

UPDATE: Shattered and dislocated hips. Not a good thing at all. We have two options. Put her down or amputation and a dog wheelchair. I choose option #2. She is full of life and spirit. Ultimately it's up to my wife's mother because Trixie belongs to her. Her mom is fighting lung cancer which is stage 4. This was the last thing she needed to deal with. Thank you all for the kind words and prayers.
I need to raise $1200 for the operation. I have 12 gift cards available at $100 per. Every gift card will have a $25 bonus added
Thank you all!

This is a local business and we’d like to help them out. Since they don’t have a way to donate directly, we’d like to start a collection and send those funds to them. In order to help, please donate directly to Poe’s Purpose through our Venmo or PayPal and put “Iron Dogz” in the notes.

It’s a happy ending for our little gunshot kitty from yesterday - Kitty Soft Paws will be living her best life as a tripod, getting lots of love from the family that cared enough to get her vet care yesterday. Our portion that we helped out with ended up being $542. Any donations to help cover that would be greatly appreciated!

10/19/2024

Just picked up this pretty girl from PawFection Grooming and Resort and we just have to brag on them for a bit. They’ve always been so good to us and have supported Poe’s Purpose from the beginning. If you’re looking for a place to take care of your babies, make sure to check them out! 💙

Pupdate - owner contacted! 🥰

This cutie was found on sugar Grove Road in Farmington, Missouri. He does not have a collar and the finder needs help locating the owner. Please share so we can get this cutie back home!

10/18/2024

Y’all, I can’t with evil humans anymore 😩

This stray was shot, and luckily decent humans found her and have her at the vet - they need to amputate. (Picture in comments because it’s kind of gory.)

We’re going to cover this, but it’s going to drain us 😩

PLEASE 🙏🏻 We need your help! If you can spare a couple dollars, please consider donating. We’ll also drop our Venmo and PayPal links in the comments.

10/18/2024

Good morning all you animal lovers! We need your support again. ❤️

This injured stray is going to be trapped and then fully vetted on Monday morning. He’ll get his paw taken care of, neutered, and all his shots. Can you help by donating or sharing this post?

Thank you! XOXO 😘

✨Rue is looking for her forever home! ✨

She is currently being fostered by a family with two very young children, dogs, and cats, and she does great with all; however, it did take her a very long time to warm up to foster dad - she seems to be very fearful of men.

She’s small, about 25 pounds, and young - under two years old. She’s fully vetted and housebroken. Her foster mom says she would make the perfect companion to a single woman that enjoys outdoor activities because two of her favorite things seem to be just being by her side and being outside.

Interested in meeting Rue? Shoot us a message! You do have to understand that she’s been through a lot in her short life, so she will need time to decompress and adjust to changes. We’re really hopeful her forever person is out there. 🫶

🐾PUPDATE - NO HEARTWORMS!! Total cost of care was $451 dollars - worth every penny to know they're safe and healthy! Please share so we can hopefully recoup some of those funds and be ready for the next situation that comes our way.

Remember seeing the post almost a month ago about 2 dogs running around St. Joe Park? They’ve found themselves sticking around one place and after weeks, the finder has finally been able to touch them.😯

They desperately need to see a vet. The poodle mix is extremely matted, has sore/smelly ears, and has a cough. The finder has been gracious enough to continuously feed them and try to win their trust, and is now willing to take them to the vet, but obviously was not anticipating this expense. So we're going to help!

We’d like to get them vetted which includes heartworm test, UTD on shots, neutered, and any meds that they may need to get healthy again. If you can spare a couple dollars to go towards their vet care, that would be greatly appreciated! If you are unable to donate, please share this post so that others might be able to.

We'll keep you updated on what we find out about their health ... keep your fingers crossed for a negative heartworm test!!

Thank you!!! 🐾 ❤️

Update: she’s been found! She’s on her way home! 🙌🏼

MISSING FROM C STREET, FARMINGTON MO

This is our neighbor's sweet Pyr and she got out last night between 7:30 and 9. She's skittish, so if you see her, please don't chase! I don't think they're super active on Facebook, but I'll pass any sightings or info along! Please share!

This is the sister of the rainbow bridge dog we posted yesterday. She was also abandoned, but thanks to the woman who stopped to get them both, she now has a second chance.

We’re searching for a rescue willing to tag this girl - we’ll help with vetting costs! If you know of a rescue who might be able to take her in, please tag them! If you are able to foster, please let us know!

We’d like to get her UTD on shots, heartworm tested, and on a preventative. If you can find it in your heart to donate, we’d be greatly appreciative. (If she’s tagged for rescue, any additional funds will be forwarded on!)

10/07/2024

RIP sweet boy, I’m so sorry humans failed you. 💔

Abandoned, hit by a car, and left to suffer and die alone on the side of the road. Our only small comfort is knowing that one woman cared enough to get you to a vet so you could cross the rainbow bridge surrounded by people who believed your life mattered. 🌈

This is the hardest part of what we do. This was a $319 unexpected expense - but worth every penny to ensure this baby didn’t suffer a second longer than necessary. But THIS is why we continuously ask for donations - to make sure we always have funds available for these emergencies so no animal has to suffer needlessly. ❤️‍🩹

Your donation matters. Your support matters. YOU helped this sweet boy cross the rainbow bridge with dignity. THANK YOU for everything you do. 🫶

Update: this need has been met! The desloge kitties are safe and we will get the park hills kitty vetted this week! THANK YOU!!

🆘HELP NEEDED🆘

All four of these cats are headed to barn homes, but we HAVE to get them fully vetted first. Three of the four will be euthanized THIS FRIDAY if we can’t get them pulled in time.

To fully vet all four, we’re looking at over $500, and with the other upcoming vet appointments we already have in the works, that will completely deplete our funds. 😩

PLEASE donate if you can. If not, share this post so others can! We CANNOT do what we do without your support!!

Thank you so much for sticking with us and allowing us to be able to help these fur babies. ❤️
