Would you be willing to spare a little change to help Serafina for the holiday season? 🥺🎄🎁 $200 raised

When this sweet girl saw our vet it was determined that she had a grade 2 heart murmur. We attempted to have her spayed a few weeks later, however that clinic thought her murmur was a grade 3-4 and didn’t feel comfortable moving forward with surgery. Confused and panicked, we took her for a third opinion at East Aurora. They are in agreement with the murmur being a grade 2 and they’re comfortable moving forward with surgery with some adjustments and close monitoring, but we have decided to prioritize her dental procedure before the spay due to the condition of her teeth. Dental disease can contribute to worsening her murmur and we want to reduce that risk ASAP. We had an appointment with a vet we use for more affordable dentals, but it’s been rescheduled several times and we have no idea when there will be more openings 😔

She is now scheduled for her dental procedure on January 5th. We were expecting to pay $400, but we can’t wait. The estimate listed is between $1,500 and $2,000. This was definitely an unexpected expense for a younger dog, but unfortunately happens sometimes when we commit to saving puppy mill dogs sight unseen. She was used to make puppies for profit with nobody caring about her health until now.

We have so many other medical expenses on top of routine vet bills we have to pay off. Any donation made towards Serafina’s procedure will not only help her get the care she’s been long overdue for, but will help us continue to save more dogs in the future.

Please see the links below to donate via Venmo or PayPal. We don’t get many donations, and our adoption fees wouldn’t come close to covering this. We’re hoping for a Christmas miracle for our girl 💚❤️

Cooper
5 years old
Neutered male
Chihuahua/Min Pin mix
10 lbs

Cooper is a super friendly pup who looooves to cuddle! He was surrendered to an over capacity shelter with another dog (Otto) because the owner could no longer afford to care for them 😢 Thankfully they only had to spend one night there before being pulled, and they are loving life in foster! They are not a bonded pair and can be adopted separately, however we would offer a discounted rate if someone was interested in adopting both dogs together.

❤️ Dog/cat friendly
💛 Crate trained
❤️ Appears to be potty trained
💛 Walks well on leash
❤️ Fenced yard not required

Garth
1 year old
Neutered male
Australian Cattle Dog mix
35 lbs

Garth has been back with us for 2 weeks now and he has settled into his foster home even better than expected. He is quiet in his crate as long as another dog is near for company, 100% potty trained and asks to go outside, LOVES playing in the snow and then taking a nap with his foster brother Rocket, and is learning to trust his foster mom. He lived at a puppy mill until he was 10 months old so he’s shy with new people, but he catches onto a routine quickly and loves having another playful dog around to learn from. He’ll make a wonderful addition to the right home! 💞

💚 Dog friendly
🧡 Previously did well with cats
💚 Crate trained, prefers to see another dog while crated
🧡 Potty trained if kept on a good routine
💚 Will walk on leash well once he’s comfortable
🧡 NEEDS a fully fenced yard for potty breaks
💚 Would likely prefer a home without stairs

We’d like to give a warm welcome to our newest special needs pup, Zoe. Zoe is a sweet, loving Boxer who was surrendered to a shelter in astonishing condition alongside 5 puppies. Zoe is paralyzed and has no feeling in the back half of her body. She came into the shelter urine stained and with infected pressure sores on her body, her puppies also filthy and stained. People did this to her. And still, all she wants is to bury her head into anyone who will give her attention and give them a kiss on the face 🥺

We took her to our vets on Monday and did x-rays and much to our surprise, saw no sign of injury, trauma, congenital defects, etc. meaning her paralysis was caused by some sort of neurologic event, spinal cord injury, etc. Based on the muscle atrophy in her hind end we have reason to believe that this event happened a long time ago… which proves the horrific suspicion that someone let her get pregnant and then birth puppies while paralyzed 🥺

We’re not entirely sure what her future holds, but what we do know is that we want to give her every chance we can to be mobile again whether that means learning to spinal walk, using a wheelchair, etc. She will need to be spayed and potentially have her tail amputated in the future. We’d like to consider laser therapy, acupuncture, even hydrotherapy when her wounds heal, all things that will cost a pretty penny for a dog that we may not ever find an adopter for. But we are standing behind Zoe to give her the best chance at recovery and we’re in it for the long haul.

If you can spare some change to contribute to Zoe’s care it would be so very appreciated. Links are below to donate via Venmo or PayPal, and we’ve also added a wishlist specific to Zoe with supplies she may need. P*e pads are incredibly helpful, she’s using 10-15 per day as she is incontinent and can’t wear diapers until her wounds heal, so we are using them when we express her bladder and to line her play pen/bed as she also leaks urine.

If you can’t donate, we just ask that you say a prayer or send some good vibes for Zoe and share her story. She deserves everything good in the world and we can’t wait to give that to her 💞

Zoe’s beautiful puppies will be available for adoption within the next few weeks through our friends at Allie & Pals Rescue who ensured this entire family was able to get out of the shelter and nobody was left behind 🩵

Irene
2 years old
Spayed female
Beagle
20lbs

Irene is a sweet girl who was picked up as a stray in a common dumping area and brought into one of our shelter partners. She was a little shy at first but is now exploring her foster home and loves other dogs! She is missing an eye, but she doesn’t let that slow her down. She would love a new family to cuddle up with for the holidays 💕

🩷 Dog/cat friendly
💜 Crate trained
🩷 Working hard on potty training
💜 Getting used to leash walking

Update: Our amazing vet Dr. Jim did her surgery today and only charged us for the spay 😭 Talk about a Christmas present! We are so thankful and can’t express enough how much we appreciate the care our dogs receive here 💕

Our sweet girl Calliope is at the vet today having her glaucoma eye removed and being spayed - an expense that well exceeds what her adoption fee will be. But you can’t put a price on a dogs comfort, and we’re so excited for this girl to feel better and that we can ensure the eye won’t cause an issue for her future family.

Please consider making a donation towards her bill if you’re able. Even a few dollars goes a long way! We have so many medical expenses lately and every penny helps.
