Faith (Now Layla) Is Home!

After a long journey from Egypt, Faith—now Layla—has finally arrived at her forever home with her new mom and dad, Laurie and Michael, and her amazing new fur sibling, Ramsey!

Layla touched down in the USA on Tuesday, then made her way to Chicago on Thursday, where I had the absolute joy of picking her up. We spent a wonderful evening together in a hotel, and she was the perfect girl. It was so special to share that time with her, knowing how far she had come.

The next morning, we hit the road to Michigan, where her incredible new family welcomed us with open arms. It was love at first sight. Ramsey, who is also one of our rescues from Egypt, was so gentle and kind—letting Layla play with her toys, showing her around the yard, and then the two of them ran, played, and chased each other like they had been best friends forever.

Inside, Layla made herself right at home, curling up on the couch as if she had lived there her whole life. Seeing her so happy, safe, and home was everything I could have hoped for.

A huge thank you to Laurie, Michael, and Ramsey for giving Layla the love and family she so deserves. Thank you as well for the wonderful lunch and thoughtful gifts. After spending some time with them, I made the long drive home—more than six hours—exhausted but filled with pride and gratitude for what we accomplished.

Faith (Layla), it was an honor to meet you. Your life began in hardship, but thanks to the dedication of so many people, your future will be filled with love and joy.

We did it—she is home! Stay tuned for updates!

Hello from Chicago!

Faith and I (Helen, president and founder of Stray Dog Support) are now safely in our hotel room after her journey from California via Seattle. Tonight, we’re spending some time relaxing before we hit the road tomorrow to take Faith to her forever family!

A huge thank you to everyone who made this possible—it truly takes a village.

Special thanks to Tailwinds Global for all your incredible efforts with logistics!

Happy Thursday from Chocolate!

Say hello to Chocolate, one of the amazing dogs our team member Dhruv Gupta recently visited at our boarding partner, IndieLove Welfare Foundation. We want to take a moment to highlight some of the wonderful dogs in our care who often get overlooked, and Chocolate is one of them.

Chocolate was rescued in Punjab University, Chandigarh, India, in 2020, after being abandoned during the COVID-19 lockdown. When he was found, he was confused, trying to dodge traffic, territorial dogs, and even humans who would chase him away with sticks. Despite everything he endured, Chocolate has grown into a confident, loving dog who just wants a chance to be seen.

Here’s what Dhruv had to say about his time with Chocolate:

“Super playful, excited, and very high on energy. He enjoyed every bit of coming out. Despite being a middle-aged dog, he had more energy and excitement than most young puppies! He ran all around the open ground, soaking up every moment of freedom, treats, and attention. He is great on a leash, perfect with all the staff and me, and showed no signs of nervousness. He was definitely the dog in focus from my visit!”

Chocolate is now around 5 years old and still waiting for his forever home. If you’d like to adopt him or become his sponsor, please reach out to us at [email protected].

Let’s find this incredible boy the loving home he deserves!

URGENT: Help Us Discharge Butchoy from the Vet Clinic!

Need $1270 - copy of bill in comments

We haven’t had the chance to post about Butchoy before now—there have been so many urgent cases—but he needs our help today.

Butchoy was found crying for help under an abandoned car after allegedly being beaten and hit by a vehicle. He had been suffering for five days before we were alerted. Our partner Paraiso Ni Kimay Fur Sanctuary traveled all the way from Iloilo to Bacolod to rescue him and rushed him straight to Dr. Lee’s Vet Clinic.

X-rays confirmed his devastating injuries:
⚠️ Three broken legs
⚠️ Anemia and blood parasites
⚠️ Still on medication and needs vitamins
⚠️ No surgery needed, but he requires a wheelchair and therapy

Butchoy is now ready for discharge, but we cannot bring him out until his bill is cleared—which has now reached 71,000 PHP ($1,270 USD) since January.

We need your help to give Butchoy the next step in his recovery. Please donate if you can, and share to spread the word! Every bit helps get him out of the clinic and into the care he desperately needs.

Meet Nika – Found in a Pile of Trash, Now Getting a Second Chance

⭐️Video in comments⭐️

While out feeding stray dogs in Bitola, Macedonia, our partner Animal Voice came across a heartbreaking sight—a tiny puppy lying in a pile of trash, unable to stand properly. They sent us a video asking if we could help, and as soon as we saw her, we knew we couldn’t leave her there.

Nika’s legs were severely deformed, and after getting her to the vet, she was diagnosed with rickets, a condition caused by malnutrition and vitamin deficiencies. Rickets affects growing puppies, leading to weak, soft bones that can result in deformities and difficulty walking. It is most commonly caused by a lack of calcium, phosphorus, or vitamin D—nutrients that street puppies often struggle to get enough of.

Now safe in the home of Animal Voice’s founder, while we find a foster, Nika has started treatment, which includes a proper diet with calcium and vitamin D to strengthen her bones.

Because she is still young, we are hopeful that, with the right care, she can overcome this condition and live a full, happy life. But she needs your help.

This little girl was incredibly vulnerable, and there is no way she would have survived much longer on the streets. Now, we are looking for support with her medical care and, if possible, a monthly sponsor to help cover her ongoing needs.

Nika is so incredibly sweet, and this is exactly why we do what we do—to give grassroots rescuers the ability to save puppies like her.

💛 Can you help Nika on her journey to healing? Every donation makes a difference.

🚨 URGENT: Let’s Get Noodles on the Flight! 🚨

Sometimes, things happen for a reason. Over the weekend, Faith’s flight was delayed, and now we know why—because Noodles has the chance to come, too!

Noodles was also scheduled to fly from Egypt to the U.S., but we were waiting for her titer test paperwork, a requirement for dogs entering the U.S. The day after Faith’s original flight, her results came in! With a last-minute scramble and an incredible team effort, we just got confirmation that the airline has approved Noodles to travel as well!

Like Faith, Noodles has a loving family waiting for her in Maine through our wonderful partner, Calebs Opus. This means she won’t just have a home—she’ll also have a flight buddy! But to make this miracle happen, we need your help right now.

Thanks to our amazing donors, her flight to the U.S. is covered—but we still need to cover:

✈️ A travel crate
📑 CDC facility reservation
💰 Broker fees
🛫 Her domestic flight (likely to Boston)

We need $1,200 to $1,500 to make this happen, and our flight volunteer is heading to the airport TONIGHT.

Noodles’ Story:

Rescued in May 2023 from an unethical pet store in Alexandria, Egypt, Noodles spent her first months trapped in a tiny cage, unable to turn around. She endured the extreme heat, dirty water, and barely any food—without even a bed or blanket to rest on.

Shortly after her rescue, Noodles was diagnosed with Parvo, fighting for her life for months in the hospital. But she survived—and now she is full of life and love, finally ready for her forever home.

Can we pull off another Hail Mary to get her on this flight? Can we give Noodles the happy ending she deserves? We don’t have much time—please help us make this happen!

Rest in Love, Mercy

It is with a heavy heart that we share the passing of Mercy. Rescued by our partner ESDAR "The Egyptian Society For Defending Animal Rights" in Cairo, Egypt, Mercy was a horse abandoned in the desert—left to die in freezing temperatures without food or water. For days, she lay there, her frail body succumbing to starvation, dehydration, and unimaginable abuse.

When the team arrived, they found Mercy barely clinging to life. She was rushed to the sanctuary, where the vet uncovered the true extent of her suffering an old, infected fracture in her left leg filled with pus, multiple wounds on her head, ear, and side, loss of sight, starvation, severe dehydration and exhaustion. It was a lot to overcome.

Despite the team’s tireless efforts, Mercy’s condition deteriorated rapidly. She could no longer stand, was barely eating, and remained on IV fluids. Though heartbreaking, I find some solace in knowing that she did not die alone in the desert but surrounded by people who cared.

This is the grim reality for far too many working animals in Egypt, used and discarded without a second thought. Mercy was shown no mercy by her abusers—but in her final moments, she knew kindness.

Rest in love, Mercy. We will never forget you.

Roscoe’s Spa Day – Ready for Foster! 🛁✨

Roscoe had a very special day today—bath time! He wanted to make sure he looked extra handsome because he’s heading to his foster home. Now, Roscoe doesn’t exactly know what a foster home is, but he thinks it means he gets to hang out in a house with a family until his forever family comes along. And that sounds pretty great to him!

So, of course, he had to make sure he smelled just right and that his coat was extra shiny. After all, first impressions matter! Roscoe even said that if you adopt him, he’ll take a bath every day if that’s what it takes to find a home. (We told him that’s not necessary, but hey, he’s committed!)

💙 If you’re interested in adopting Roscoe and you live in Ontario, Canada, you can apply via our website. For inquiries, email [email protected].

Roscoe can’t wait to meet his forever family—could it be you? 🐾💕

Happy Sunday – Look Who Can Be Discharged!

❌Just $570 needed for final bill

Duray, the brave survivor of a brutal attack, is finally ready to leave the hospital. This sweet girl was attacked with a bolo—a large bladed weapon used for clearing vegetation—simply because she was searching for food and got too close to some chickens. The attack left her with a massive wound on her side, but thanks to emergency surgery and dedicated veterinary care, Duray is now recovering.

She has also been vaccinated and spayed, and once discharged, she will go to the sanctuary shelter of our partner Paraiso Ni Kimay Fur Sanctuary where she will finally be safe. But before that can happen, we need to settle her final bill of 33,600 PHP (around $570 USD). Just like vet clinics here in the U.S., the full amount must be paid before she can be released, and we’re hoping to get her out tomorrow.

Duray has been through so much, and now she just needs this last step to start her new life. Any help towards her final bill would mean the world.

💙 To donate to her discharge, please use the details below:

Thank you for being part of her journey to safety!

Faith’s Flight Update 🛑✈️

Unfortunately, due to severe ice storms in Turkey yesterday, the airline informed us just a few hours before departure that they would not be accepting live animals. With the extreme weather conditions, they deemed it too dangerous and canceled the booking.

Our team, along with Faith and her flight volunteer, spent the entire night at the airport until 6 AM trying to find alternative options, but none were available. While we are incredibly disappointed, Faith’s safety is always the priority.

The good news is that we are now waiting for confirmation of a new flight on Tuesday, the 25th. Her eagerly awaiting family has been informed, and while the delay is frustrating, everyone is just relieved that her well-being came first.

We are also grateful for the last-minute push for her flight expenses. While we are still short, we appreciate every donation that has come in so far. This extra time allows us to raise the remaining funds, and we’ll update everyone if there are any changes to flight costs.

Faith’s journey is delayed, but not for long! Thank you for your patience and support—we can’t wait to see her finally home soon! ❤️

From The Streets to a Loving Home: Papula’s Beautiful New Life

❤️Videos of her from the flight in comments❤️

This morning, we shared an update on Nazdar, who made her journey from Iraq. Now, we have another heartwarming update on Papula (now Candy)—one of the other incredible dogs that I had the honor of traveling with to California on the same Race4Life flight. Despite my fear of flying, it was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.

Papula, like Nazdar, is also disabled and was rescued by our amazing partner War Paws. With the support of SPCA International and our wonderful partner BARC's Rescue, she has found a fantastic forever home.

Her family shared this beautiful update:

“Her name is Candy now, and she has a Husky/Malamute brother named Popcorn! 😁 She is doing fantastic and absolutely loves living on the acreage. It is fully fenced, so she is safe, but she is such a great ‘guard’ dog! She barks at the moose, deer, and even coyotes that come around. She is very loved and spoiled! 🥰

I took her to the vet for X-rays on her legs, and unfortunately, there isn’t anything that can be done. But the vets believe she’s not in any pain. You wouldn’t even know she has mobility issues—she runs like the wind, plays nonstop, and does the best zoomies!”*

This… this is what keeps us going. This is what drives us. So many amazing people and organizations came together to make this happen, and seeing Candy thriving in a home where she is safe and loved makes every challenge worth it.

To everyone who played a part in Papula’s (Candy) journey—thank you. This is why we do what we do. ❤️

NAZDAR’S HAPPY EVER AFTER! ❤️🐾

Do you all remember Nazdar from Iraq?

This girl was one of my most memorable rescues because I had the privilege of traveling with her to California, thanks to the incredible help of & SPCA International. I was actually on the plane with her and two other dogs—an experience I will never forget.

Nazdar, rescued by our amazing partner War Paws, is now loving life in Canada with her forever family, thanks to BARC's Rescue. After completing a program at Crosswinds Pet Resort, she found her perfect match.

Her adopters recently sent us a heartfelt update, and I just had to share it. It’s a beautiful reminder that rescue isn’t always easy—but with time, patience, and love, transformation happens.

Here’s what they had to say:

*“Hello Everyone,
I am sending an update on Nazdar (now Luna)! Thank you so much for saving her! 🐾🥰❤️

She was pretty shut down when we got her. On the ride home, she was shaking and drooling heavily. My test for how well my fosters are doing is usually how long it takes for their noses to get soft and wet. Last month, her nose finally became what it should be—completely!

We had some personality hiccups, and we have been working with a trainer, but she is starting to become a regular dog! She plays with my dog, Sylvester, all the time.

She has a vest she wears for walks, and she sits nicely when we put it on. She loves her one-on-one adventures with me! Someone must have taught her how to be a good walking companion—thank you!

She’s even gone camping with us twice since September! It’s the only time I let her use an extension leash, and she even follows the boys (Jaeger and Sylvester) into the lake and splashes around!

In the beginning, she barked at everything—every appliance, every person, every car! But once she heard them a couple of times, she stopped. She has figured out the rhythm here, and we make sure she has a huge, clear yard to run around in—and SHE RUNS!

She never runs into fences, walls, or big furniture—she is so amazing! She surprises us with how smart she is every day!

At night, she sleeps at the end of the bed and tries to follow us out the door in the morning. She steals our shoes—not to chew on, but to throw them around for attention! She is so adorable. 🥰

I want to thank everyone who helped make her life better and brought her to our family. We love her so much!

Much love from us to you,
Sabrina, Gilles, Sylvester, Jaeger, and all the birds!”

💙 You have no idea how much this update made my day!! Seeing a dog go from suffering to thriving is what keeps us going. I thought I’d share it with all of you because YOU made this possible.

ONLY 24 HOURS LEFT—FAITH NEEDS YOU!

We are so close—but time is running out! Thanks to a strong push the other day, we’ve raised $2,400! I’m beyond grateful for everyone who has contributed. But we still have a way to go to cover the full cost of Faith’s flight.

Needless to say, I’m getting nervous. This is a huge expense, and I have to pay it regardless—taking funds away from other dogs who also desperately need help.

Faith has suffered enough. Chained to a wall 24/7 in Alexandria, Egypt, with barely any room to move, she had no life at all. And when we tried to rescue her? She was cruelly dumped in a trash pile and tied to rocks like garbage. No dog deserves this.

But Faith’s story isn’t meant to end in pain. She has a loving family in Michigan waiting for her—ready to give her the life she’s always deserved.

Her journey to freedom is long and costly:
✈️ Cargo flight from Egypt to Los Angeles
🐾 Crate, boarding, and CDC import facility fees
🛫 Domestic flight from LA to Chicago

I will personally drive her from Chicago to Michigan—but we URGENTLY need your help to get her this far!

This is her one shot at a happy ending. Please donate today to make it happen. Every dollar counts!

Good afternoon from Alta! ☀️

I just wanted to stop by and say hello with a little tail wag! Today, I’m feeling a bit stronger, and I’ve been walking around with more energy. Learning to be a tripod hasn’t been easy, but thanks to all the love and support, I’m getting better every day. I’m still receiving treatment for heartworm, but I know I’m in the best hands.

A big thank you to everyone who has helped me on this journey—your kindness means the world! And of course, a special shoutout to the amazing vets at Dr. Lee’s in Ioilio Philippines and our friends at Paraiso Ni Kimay Fur Sanctuary for taking such good care of me.

Please keep sharing my story so more dogs like me can get a second chance!

Love,
Alta ❤️

Please Send Your Love to Maao

Maao is currently hospitalized and needs all the support he can get. A few days ago, he was rushed to the hospital after becoming lethargic and refusing to eat. His kidney values are elevated, which is causing damage, and he is being closely monitored. He is not eating on his own and is only receiving water, with small amounts of food being syringe-fed to him. Tomorrow, he will undergo an ultrasound, followed by four days of treatment in hopes of stabilizing his condition before another round of blood tests.

For those who don’t know his story, Maao has already survived unthinkable cruelty. Three years ago, he was found in Kolkata, India, thrown away in a sealed packing box inside a dumpster. He had been burned so badly with a hot liquid that he completely lost his ear. Since then, he has been safe at a cat boarding facility in Delhi, India, but now, his health is failing.

We don’t know Maao’s age, so this could be age-related, but what we do know is that he is a fighter. He has overcome so much, and we are holding onto hope that he can make it through this battle too. We are incredibly grateful to Kajol, who runs Dabbu Pet Boarding, for acting quickly to get him the emergency care he needs.

Please keep Maao in your thoughts and send him all the love and strength you can. If you are able, donations toward his medical care would be deeply appreciated. Let’s rally behind this warrior once again. ❤️

Well, it only took 50 years, but I finally made it onto the cover of a magazine!

A huge thank you to Northern Kettle Living Magazine for featuring me and Stray Dog Support and the work we do. It was such a great day, and despite the snow and cold, the dogs absolutely stole the show (as they should!).

I’m incredibly grateful for the support of our local community and hopeful that this feature will help expand our outreach efforts. It’s all about raising awareness and educating people on animal welfare—not just here in the U.S. but globally.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support our mission. Let’s keep making a difference! 🐾❤️
