❤️❤️❤️❤️FOSTER PENDING❤️❤️❤️❤️

Physically you can see she is saggy, riddled with lumps and bumps, as well as patches of thinning hair due to the poor care and nutrition. Being repeatedly bred has taken a toll on this momma. Papaya has sacrificed her health over and over again to produce puppies for human profit, and now they repay her by dumping her in the shelter to fight for her life.

This girl has been put on the urgent list, and is now being considered for humane euthanasia due to her health. Papaya never received basic vet care throughout her 8+ years of being bred. This has left her with some pretty serious health issues including advanced heartworm disease, a mammary tumor, and compromised lungs. Unfortunately not only is this medical care beyond the shelter’s capacity to handle, but even with the best care Papaya is still a very high risk case.

Her only lifeline at this time is finding a foster family willing to see her through heartworm treatment. It will be a prolonged treatment due to the fragile state of Papaya’s health, possibly 4 months. We won’t know how she will handle the treatment until it begins. Even with the precautions we will take with her treatment there is still a chance Papaya may not make it through the process, but it is her only chance at surviving and living a life beyond breeding.

Despite the circumstances Papaya is a happy girl, enjoying what she can of life. Any chance she gets to be on the leash she promptly takes, wagging and wiggling all the way to her destination. Papaya gets along with other pups and doesn’t pay attention to the felines. We do think a low key home would be best for her as she will need to be sedated and on crate rest during her recovery process. If you can throw this girl a lifeline contact [email protected] today!

Foster location needed in the Wappingers Falls, NY area.

🚨 Before You Surrender Your Pet… 🚨

Remember, there’s no better place for them than your home. Even if you’re out of the house for 8 hours, struggling with training, or feeling overwhelmed—they are better off with you than alone in a kennel for 23+ hours a day.

Yesterday alone, our shelter took in 10 dogs in a single day. This rising wave of pets being given up, abandoned as strays, neglected, or abused needs to stop. Your pet is a part of your family, and they deserve to be treated with love and patience.

Don’t let them end up like poor Heidi, desperately jumping for attention in her kennel, waiting for a short walk before being returned to her cage. Heidi is a good dog- kid & dog friendly- yet she’s still here waiting to be adopted. Be their forever home. Stick by their side.

If you are struggling with feeding your pet, providing low cost veterinary care, or just need advice on training there are resources out there to assist! We are happy to provide advice or assistance. Please keep your dog 🙏

If you can help, our shelter is in dire need of dry and wet dog food- here is the Amazon Wish List link: https://a.co/ggAkeOz
