“I finally understand what it feels like to not be able to afford the care your pet needs. I can’t do this alone. I am very grateful for any support (including prayers) to ensure that Opal receives the best possible care and has a chance to live a happy and healthy life. Anything, no matter how small, will make a difference.

I’m sure a lot of owners say this, but Opal is not a dog. I swear she is my baby soul mate, we protect each other and I would fight every battle to ensure that she is loved, healthy, happy, and (okay she’s a little chunky which we’re working on!) always hard with those puppy eyes. lol.

She is my purpose. If you knew her, you would know that she is extremely protective over me due to a recent event of leaving a 7 year dv relationship but now it’s my turn to protect her. Thank you so much for even reading this or considering my reason for living.”
— Opal's Family

This is exactly why our mission matters and why your support makes all the difference. With your donations, Frankie’s Friends helped Hannah save her best friend Opal from pain and discomfort by providing financial assistance she needed to receive life-changing surgery.

Marca is still hospitalized, needing fluids and supportive care for a urinary blockage. Unfortunately this is a common medical emergency in cats, but one that many families cannot afford to treat. With your donations, we can help.

His family said, “From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your generosity and compassion. Receiving assistance from Frankie's Friends means more than words can express. In a time of worry and uncertainty, your support has brought hope, relief, and the ability to focus on what matters most—caring for my beloved pet.

Knowing that there are people like you who care so deeply about animals and the families who love them is truly humbling. This assistance is not just financial help; it's a reminder that we are not alone in this journey. Your kindness has made a lasting impact on our lives, and I will always carry this gratitude with me.”

Please consider opening your heart and your wallet to help Marca receive the lifesaving care he deserves.

OUCH, warning… graphic photos. Missy was attacked by another dog, resulting in a traumatic injury to her face. She needed immediate surgery to remove her eye after the incredibly painful event. Unfortunately her family couldn’t afford the cost of care as a single mom on one income. But because of friends like you, Frankie’s Friends provided the financial support Missy needed after surviving this unexpected tragedy.

Her mom said, “Just wanna say thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me save my fur baby. Without your help, it would’ve broke my heart, but I would be left with no choice but to put her to sleep. So thank you so much truly. Missy means the world to us and I’m so grateful to let her live more years with our family, especially for my daughter who has Down Syndrome loosing her best friend would have been so heartbreaking.”

This is why your donations matter, together we can help save more pets’ loves and help more families like Missy’s. Please give today.

Sweet Hewie the husky was diagnosed with cancer at only 5 years old :( He is scheduled to receive radiation therapy today at The University of Georgia Veterinary Teaching Hospital, but his family cannot afford the cost of the care needed to save his life.

His mom said, "I am unemployed and receive government assistance for monthly bills. I have maxed out credit cards and lines of credit... due to a recent car accident where my car was totaled... and for my dog’s diagnostics and to be seen by different vets. I was denied by Care Credit and ScratchPay for that reason."

Frankie's Friends can help Hewie with the financial assistance needed to receive this lifesaving radiation therapy, but we need your help. Will you donate to help Hewie today?

His mom is most grateful for your support. She said, "I would like to sincerely thank you all for your heartfelt contributions. My fur baby means the world to me so your sparing your hard earned money so I can give him the treatment he deserves is greatly appreciated. I have had my dog since he was 8 weeks old, so he really is my child. I hate to see him suffer. I promised him I would do everything in my power to give him the treatment he needs. I really cannot thank all of you kind hearted individuals enough. You are the real heroes."

, please give to help save Hewie today.

EEK! Puppy with a broken leg needs surgery NOW! Please donate today!

“I am a single mother of two young children… I got this puppy a month ago as emotional support for my daughter, who struggles with anxiety, and my 5-year-old autistic son. This puppy quickly became a source of comfort and joy for our entire household. Tragically, earlier this morning, the puppy climbed onto the bed and fell off, resulting in a broken femur… one compassionate specialist offered to do the surgery for $2,000 due to our hardship. I am doing everything I can, but I simply cannot afford the full cost on my own. I am humbly asking for any assistance you can provide to help us save our puppy and give her the care she urgently needs.”

Frankie’s Friends can help with the cost of surgery, with your support! Will you donate to help Maggie receive this surgery today?
