🐾💔 Critical Case of the Week: Help Jax Heal!

Jax is a beach-loving, ball-chasing sweetheart who’s been by his mom’s side through thick and thin. 🐶💛 Recently, life threw them another curveball— after losing a second job and moving into temporary housing, Jax suffered a painful eye injury that now requires emergency surgery (enucleation) to remove the damaged eye. 😢

Even with a full-time job, his mom simply couldn’t afford the $5,000+ cost of treatment. That’s where YOU and FACE step in. 🙌

FACE has pledged $3,300 to help Jax— but we still need your help to fully fund his care. 🐕👁️‍🗨️

💬 “I believe you are all angels… He is my precious little baby. Thank you again, FACE Foundation!” —Jax’s Mom

💛 Let’s give Jax the second chance he deserves.

🐾 Borris is the kind of pup who turns heads and hearts with his goofy grin, playful spirit, and a face full of lovable wrinkles. He’s the joy of his family’s life — and a constant source of laughter.

❤️‍🩹 But after a bit of playful roughhousing with his doggy brother, Borris suffered a painful elbow fracture that left him needing emergency surgery.

🏥 His devoted family, already living on a tight budget, was heartbroken. They had the love — but not the funds — to get Borris the care he urgently needed. That’s when they found FACE.

💛 Thanks to the kindness of our supporters, Borris received his life-saving surgery and is now on the mend — back to bringing light, laughter, and wiggly tail wags to everyone around him.

⛰️Rocky is a 95-pound lap dog in disguise — a gentle Akita mix who lives for sunshine, belly rubs, and playing with every kid he meets. So when his mom noticed he was coughing blood and struggling to breathe, her heart dropped.

The diagnosis was devastating: pneumonia and toxicity. He needed hospitalization and a plasma transfusion to survive — but the cost was more than his loving family could carry alone.

As a single mom doing everything to provide for her kids and their beloved pup, she felt helpless. That’s when FACE stepped in — and because of YOUR support, Rocky got the lifesaving treatment he needed.

Today, he’s back home, soaking up the sun and healing by his family’s side. 🌤️

From Rocky’s mom:
“Rocky wouldn’t be here today without your help. I’m truly not sure what I would have done without this program. Thank you for giving him a second chance at life.”

💛 Your donations keep families together.

🚨Life-Saving Surgery for Crema— We Need Your Help!🚨

Sweet Crema is more than just a pet, he’s family. 💛 After surviving a dangerous urinary blockage and emergency bladder stone surgery, Crema reblocked just days later. Now, he urgently needs a perineal urethrostomy (PU) to survive — a complex surgery that will prevent this from happening again.

Crema has been a rock for his military family — one parent is currently deployed, and the other is a disabled veteran. They’ve already spent everything they had on his first surgery, and now they’re turning to us, and to YOU, for hope. 🐾

💌 Crema is the kind of cat who’ll sneak your tortillas and ride around on your back like a little backpack bestie. He’s full of love and personality, and he deserves more time with his family.

🎯 FACE has pledged $3,300 to help save Crema. Your support can get us the rest of the way.
Any extra donations will go directly toward helping the next urgent case.

💛Let’s give Crema a second chance.

Meet Mariachi — a joyful, playful 2-year-old Scottish Fold whose name perfectly matches his lively, loving personality. He’s been the heart of his family, always ready to brighten the room with his charm.

But everything changed when Mariachi suddenly became gravely ill with a life-threatening urinary obstruction. His family— two hardworking parents, one of whom served in the military— rushed him to the emergency vet terrified. With student debt, a tight budget, and no savings for emergencies, they were left heartbroken and out of options.

Another amazing organization helped cover Mariachi’s initial care, but he needed 48 more hours of hospitalization to survive. That’s when FACE stepped in.

💛 Because of your support, Mariachi got the lifesaving care he needed— and today, he’s back home, purring, playing, and filling his family’s life with love once again.

✨ Your generosity makes stories like this possible.
Help us save more pets like Mariachi.

🚨 URGENT: CHULA NEEDS YOU 🚨

Sweet Chula, a 1.5-year-old Boston Terrier with a heart full of love, is in a fight for her life. She’s been diagnosed with Pyometra—a deadly uterine infection—and needs emergency surgery ASAP to survive.

Chula was once a stray, but now she’s everything to her family, who are facing housing insecurity but still give her all the love in the world. 💛 Despite their efforts, the $7,400 surgery is out of reach. FACE has pledged $4,500, but we can’t do it alone.

She’s goofy, cuddly, loves her kitty brother Pepper, and just wants more days chasing butterflies and snuggling on the couch.

✨ Be the reason Chula gets her second chance.
Your support = her survival.
