Sweet senior Joan Rivers seeks a loving home!

There are benefits to adopting a senior dog like Joan Rivers. Senior dogs are calmer and wiser. They know what they like and seek out people to cuddle and places to nap. They make great companions.

So is the case with our super sweet senior Joan Rivers. We believe Joan is around thirteen years young, she is spayed and up to date on vaccines.

If you or anyone you know would like to give this sweet senior a loving home, please send an email to [email protected] for more information.

Joan just had a vet visit and came back with a clean bill of health.

Senior dogs rock!

A success story for the week - Swagg

After losing her job, Swagg's owner found out that he needed Cystotomy surgery so she reached out to friends, family, and STARelief for help in covering the cost.

Thanks to our donors, we were able to assist Swagg in staying happy, healthy, and home.

Here is a note from Swagg's family: "I want to take a moment to thank you for your financial assistance that you gave for Swagg's bladder stone removal surgery. You were a true blessing and I am extremely thankful for your help.

It has now been almost 2 weeks post op and Swagg is scheduled to get his stitches out tomorrow. Since healing he has still remained a very energetic and happy dog, it is hard to tell that he has even had surgery! He does not have the same pain and symptoms he had before the surgery which is great. He has been using the bathroom consistently without issue and his quality of life has improved.

Again I want to thank you-your assistance meant more than you know."

A success story for the week - Pooka

After not responding to medications, Pooka needed enucleation of her right eye immediately. However, the surgery cost was more than her family could afford, so they contacted STARelief for assistance.

We are happy to say Pooka is doing well. Below is a note from her family.

"Thank you again, so very much. Pooka’s surgery went well. She is home now, and we’re looking at 3-4 weeks for recovery.
You have done such a tremendous service for my family, especially my daughter. Her mental health is severely poor, and her dog means so much to her and gives her something to stay here for."
