🐾 Sally Update 🐾

Today was a LOT — in the best and most confusing ways 😅

Sally was seen by a vet after she suddenly started excessively panting, drinking, circling, and having accidents in the house. She was diagnosed and treated for an ear infection and crystals in her urine (no sign of infection or diabetes). Her white blood cell count is also elevated indicating her body is fighting inflammation or infection. She was sent home with ear ointment, a prescription diet, and antibiotics.

That alone was helpful… but what we learned next completely surprised us….

Sally does NOT have a heart condition-something we had been told and gave daily medication for since the heart failure diagnosis in July. AND her bloodwork has IMPROVED 🎉 Her non-regenerative anemia went from 4.5 up to 5.4 (with 5.7 being the low end of normal). We are still trying to wrap our head around how that’s even possible, but here we are 🤷‍♀️

The vet who saw Sally today DOES NOT think Sally is a hospice case. She thinks she IS a candidate for surgery, including the eye surgery, spay, and dental work we were told six months ago she would never be strong enough to have. This is huge, confusing, and hopeful 🙏

Six months ago we were preparing to say goodbye. Today, we’re being told she may still have a future 🥹

So… we’re getting a second opinion. We need to know if this little warrior truly has a chance at relief, comfort, and an even longer life!

Please keep Sally in your thoughts as we navigate this next step 🐾

When it rains, it pours 😢💔

Since yesterday, Sally has been walking in circles, excessively panting, displaying signs of doggy dementia, and urinating at a rate of 7-8 times per hour 😢

I am hoping she’s just in heat and/or has a UTI. Those are FIXABLE issues 🙏

Her life expectancy was only 6 months when we rescued her. She is in advanced heart failure and her red blood cells stopped regenerating. These issues are NOT fixable.

I am just hoping she’s not saying “it’s time.” 😭

….Anxiously waiting for her diagnosis 😥

✨ HAPPY HARLEY UPDATE ✨

After a very scary week, this sweet boy has officially LEFT THE BUILDING 👏 — and we could not be more relieved or GRATEFUL 🥹

After 7 days in the hospital, Harley is finally well enough to continue healing in his foster home 🎉 Even though he is not out of the woods just yet, the vet is feeling more optimistic about his prognosis. He still has to take it easy for another 5-7 days, but he is feeling more like himself every day. ❤️‍🩹

For anyone just tuning in, Harley basically had 2.5 feet of his intestines removed and sewed back together. He did not swallow a sock. He did not eat pieces of a toy or bone. What they DID FIND obstructing his small intestines were parts of his “ADOPT ME” leash 😳

Maybe this was Harley’s “creative” way to find someone to ADOPT HIM. Maybe this was the only way his forever home will find him. Maybe everything happens for a reason, which brings us to the next best part…

Harley is officially looking for his forever home! 🏠

Harley is only 5 years old, unbelievably sweet, dog and cat friendly, and so thankful to be here! He deserves a family who will spoil him rotten and give him the happy ending he’s been waiting for.

Thank you to everyone who donated, shared, sent love, and supported him through this journey 🙏 Because of you, Harley gets a second chance — and now we get to help him find his perfect match. 💙

🐾 Harley Update — Day 5 🐾

Harley has officially made it to Day 5 after his intestinal resection surgery 👏 and while we are so grateful he’s still fighting, he is not out of the woods yet 😔

The doctors are still concerned because his abdominal fluid production remains higher than they would like, which tells us his body is working very hard. The additional sign we’re waiting for — a bowel movement — hasn’t happened yet. That will tell us if the surgery truly worked 🤞

Thank you to everyone who donated, shared, bought a T-shirt, and fought with Harley. Thank you for believing that his life matters — because it does 🥹

Please continue keep Harley in your thoughts and prayers 🙏 and we will post with any updates 🐾💔l

HARLEY….

✔️Survived Day 4 🎉
✔️ Ate overnight 🎉
❌ Turned food down today which is worrisome 😥
❌ Still has balance of $1,631 (not including the $5K put on a credit card or each additional night he is hospitalized) 😭

Each day we live in a constant state of anxiety waiting to see if he lives or dies. Each day we are watching for signs that the intestines failed (nausea, vomiting, not eating, pus in his drainage tube, etc). We wish funds were not a factor, but they are. We don’t know how we are going to afford to pay to keep him alive and fighting 😩

💔🐾 HARLEY UPDATE — THE FIGHT IS FAR FROM OVER 🐾💔

Harley made it through surgery, but he still has to fight for his life 😢

Harley lost 2.5 feet of intestines and required two separate intestinal resections. His body went through a massive trauma, but sadly, that was the “easiest” part. The 50/50 prognosis is all about the recovery 🙏

The next 7 days are critical. Every single day is a gamble to see if Harley lives… or if his body cannot recover 💔😭

With intestinal resection surgery, these are the serious, life-threatening complications we are watching for:

😥 The reconnected intestines may fail to heal together
😥 The sutures can leak or rupture, causing septic infection
😥 His body could reject the repair altogether

He is exhausted, heavily medicated, in pain, but still fighting with everything he has. And as if this emotional toll wasn’t enough, the financial weight continues to grow. The bill, as of last night, is $7,448. We have $1,123 raised.

We still have a long way to go, but appreciate every single person who has donated, shared, prayed, and stood with Harley.

We are not giving up on him 💔

P.S. They found pieces of an “ADOPT ME” leash in his intestines 😢

🆘 URGENT: Please Help Save Harley’s Life 🆘

I’m writing this with a heavy heart and shaking hands…Harley is fighting for his life at Grady Vet 💔

He needs to have an intestinal resection — a major, invasive, and extremely risky procedure that happens as a result of an obstruction. This means surgeons must remove a damaged portion of his intestines and reconnect the healthy sections, hoping his body can survive the trauma and heal without complications such as infection, leakage, or organ failure.

Harley is only 5 years old. He is gentle, loving, and not the kind of dog who gets into things he shouldn’t, which makes this entire situation even more shocking and devastating 😢

This surgery was worse case scenario and one of the most critical procedures a dog can undergo. His prognosis is 50/50 😭

I need your help to give him the literal fight of his life. He deserves more time. More belly rubs. More love 💔

If you have ever loved a dog, if you’ve ever had one look at you the way Harley does, and trust you with their whole heart, 🥺 please consider helping Harley 🙏

His surgery is estimated to cost $6,000, but his life is priceless…Please donate if you can. Please share if you can’t.

$1,123/ $6,000 RAISED

12/31/2025

As we wrap up this year… and prepare to step into a new one… our hearts are incredibly heavy.

Over the past 10 years, we have helped around 500 dogs. We never kept count because we never believed in NUMBERS. We believed in QUALITY homes, second chances, and in the dogs everyone else had already given up on — the seniors, the broken, the scared, and the “unwanted” ones 💪

Those were our dogs. And they still are.

Right now, we still have 6 dogs and 1 cat depending on us. They do not know what “closing the rescue” means. They don’t know what debt is. They only know that we promised them they were safe — and that promise does not expire.

And while they are safe, that does not mean their needs are over. They still require food, medications, veterinary care, and ongoing medical treatment.

As we finish this chapter, we are carrying $5,800 in remaining debt, and we have until January 29th to pay it off.

We are not walking away from them. But we cannot do this last stretch alone.

If Furgotten Dog Rescue ever helped a dog you loved, if you ever followed their story, if you ever believed in what we stood for — please consider donating, sharing, or simply sending love and encouragement as we fight to finish this the right way 🖤

We didn’t build this rescue on numbers. We built it on hearts. And right now, ours are breaking.

Thank you for standing with us — now and always💔🫶

‼️CALLING ALL CHIHUAHUA LOVERS‼️

Hi! I’m Chanel 🖤 And I’m looking for my forever home… AGAIN 💔

I once had the most wonderful human. For two whole years I rode on his lap (in a wheelchair), cuddled him every day, and loved him with my whole tiny heart. Then, he got very sick and left me unexpectedly 😢 But before he left, he made sure I would come back to Furgotten Dog Rescue so they could help me find a new family.

I’m a 6-year-old Chihuahua mix, and about 10 lbs of love and sass 💁‍♀️ Once you’re my person, I’m the cuddliest, most loyal little shadow you’ll ever have 🥰 I love long walks and being close to my human.

I’m looking for a calm home with no kids or other pets — just you and me, forever 🫶

If you understand Chihuahuas, or little dogs with BIG personalities… I think I might be your girl 🥰
