I Stand With My Pack

Shakira was abandoned in the most horrible condition, after she was someone’s pet for 10+ years. Very sad.😔 We were called to help her, and as soon as we saw her depressed state, we knew that we needed to rescue her. Shakira is over 10 years old, and has many medical issues, some of which are; cataracts, blepharitis, conjunctivitis, oro nasal fistulas, severe dental disease, severe pododermatitis, diffuse dermatitis and alopecia, otitis externa, mammary gland tumors, bilateral G4 MPL, pruritis, otitis, alopecia, ulcer dorsal nose and caudal dorsum cellulitis at base of tail.😭 It is going to be an expensive and long treatment to get Shakira where she needs to be medically, and we hope that you will see how deserving she is, and will help us help her. Please consider making a donation. Any amount is greatly appreciated, and will help Shakira. Thank you for your kindness and support. We don’t know what we would do without it.🙏🏼❤️ PayPal: [email protected] Zelle: [email protected] Venmo: @iswmp Huge thanks to @sailorrrsarah for the safe pull, rides and videos.❤️ We will keep updates coming! #istandwithmypack #dogsofinstagram

We came back to South LA shelter yesterday, in order to rescue this abandoned angel who we named Desi.🐶Desi was safely pulled and transported by @siatheboerboel. He’s at our vet currently, where he’s getting checked before we situate him into a loving foster home. He’s sweet and we already adore him. Please send him a warm welcome.💕#istandwithmypack #dogsofinstagram

So this happened… our good friend @susanne.roy reached out asking for help for these two tiny babies who ended up at Victorville shelter. It’s a rural shelter with no resources for puppies that small.😞 Even though we just took and committed to over 10 dogs this week, we had to try to make a plan to rescue them. Luckily, our friend @blues_babes stepped up to foster them and babies were saved!🐶 They were vetted and are doing fantastic. They are weight 1lbs and we think that they are Pomeranian / Papillon mix. Their foster mom named them Sunshine ( white and brindle ) and Whiskey ( brindle )!☀️🥃 If interested to learn more, and apply to adopt one of them, please email us at [email protected], or fill out an application trough the linktree in our bio. Thank you! #istandwithmypack #dogsofinstagram

Our darling Gaia is out of the hospital, and situated with a loving foster. She doesn’t have a leg anymore, due to her previous owner butchering her, but she gained a new life and many people that adore her. No more pain and no more suffering! Gaia is recovering nicely and will soon be up for adoption. Let’s find her the best home possible!🏡🐶❤️✨ Thank you all who donated so Gaia can have medical care that she so desperately needed. Without you nothing would be possible.🙏🏼 #istandwithmypack #dogsofinstagram

Our baby Dalia is still at the hospital, but doing fantastic after her surgery. She will be ready to leave soon, but we are still working on finding a temp foster without other dogs, for a couple of weeks. If you can help, please, email [email protected]. Dalia is adorable, sweet, playful, stunning and smart! She will make such great addition to any family. We cannot wait to see her shine!✨Thank you everyone for donated so she can get the medical care she so desperately needed. We are forever grateful.🙏🏼 Dalia is located in Los Angeles. #istandwithmypack #dogsofinstagram

Our beautiful angel Coco is still at the hospital and feeling slightly better. Her lungs sounded horrible, so we did bloodwork and started her on IV fluids and medications. Her bloodwork came back with low albumin, which could be due to intestinal issues, which our Dr. suspects is due to how thin she is. We sent out a more comprehensive fecal panel. Her thyroid values are also low, and we will probably need to start her on thyroid medication, which will help her immune system heal as well. She is eating and drinking, and is in good spirits. Please continue to send her good thoughts, and thank you so much for donating. We couldn’t help Coco without you!🙏🏼❤️ #istandwithmypack #dogsofinstagram

Our amazing adopters and fosters @monikafelicesmith and @reneefelicesmith did it again! They stepped up to foster sweet Jet, right on time to save her life. We are truly grateful to have such committed fosters who are making a difference, and to be able to welcome this sweetheart under our wing!❤️ Huge thanks to @rita_earl_blackwell for helping us save Jet! Without her networking Jet would not have been seen! To learn more about Jet and get updates, email [email protected].❤️ #istandwithmypack #dogsofinstagram

Please send warm welcome to our newest, rescued baby Honey!🍯 Honey was scared at the shelter, so we made a plan to help her. She was vetted, spayed, and is currently decompressing. We cannot wait to see her get out of her shell and shine!🦋 If interested to foster one of our newly rescued dogs, please email us at [email protected]! Thank you! Thanks for the freedom ride @siatheboerboel !!💙 #istandwithmypack #dogsofinstagram

So this happened…our most wonderful foster and adopter @reneefelicesmith reached out to us today offering to foster this sweet angel named Lulu.🥹 Lulu was scheduled to be euthanized today and we couldn’t refuse such a generous offer to save her life. Renée picked Lulu up from the shelter right in time and brought her to our vet. We learned that Lulu was in the same kennel as our sweet girl Coco, who is now fighting really bad pneumonia, so we are prepared that Lulu might also be sick. We are truly grateful for Renée and her family, because without a committed foster and sufficient funds, no rescue can happen.🙏🏼 We will keep updates coming. For inquires about Lulu email [email protected]. Thank you. 🎥: @sailorrrsarah & @reneefelicesmith #istandwithmypack #dogsofinstagram

Coco is safe with us and is getting checked by our vet. Her breathing is labored and we are doing x-rays now. We are grateful that she’s with us and hopeful that we can help her.🙏🏼Please keep her in your thoughts and thank you so much for donating so she can get medical care that she needs. We could not do this without you!💙 #istandwithmypack #dogsofinstagram

Coco ended up at the shelter several days ago. Not only did she suffer a heartbreak after being abandoned by the only family she ever knew, but now she got seriously sick and is fighting for her life. She’s so sick that she cannot even get up or breathe anymore, and we fear that she’s giving up. Look at the difference in just a few days.😞She is a shelter staff favorite, but because she is so sick they can no longer safely house her. She needs immediate medical intervention, and we hope that you can help us help her. She has a URI, which we hope hasn’t turned into a pneumonia though we fear it has and every second is now critical. We’ve seen dogs perish simply because they weren’t given help soon enough. We are overwhelmed with medical bills, but we cannot turn the blind eye. Please help us to save Coco’s life.🙏🏼❤️ PayPal: [email protected] Zelle: [email protected] Venmo: @istandwithmypack Coco will also need a foster without other dogs to help her recover once the hospital releases her. To foster, please email us at [email protected] 🐶 #istandwithmypack #dogsofinstagram

$5 FRIDAY FOR GAIA!🙏🏼 Friends, we need you now more than ever on this $5 Friday. This is a hard post to write and read, so please bear with us. This morning we received an email from SEAACA shelter. We were taken aback and had to read the email several times to comprehend the amount on pain and suffering that 11-month-old Gaia has endured over the last few days.😞 We were told that Gaia was left unattended in her owner’s yard while tied up on a metal leash. Why a puppy, or any dog for the matter, is being left tied up is maddening and cruel. When the metal leash was caught around her foot, no one was there to hear Gaia’s cries for help. Enough time went by that eventually there was no circulation to her food. Rather than rushing her to the hospital, her owners cut her foot off 😭 Yes, you read that right! Her bone has been exposed for days, and we are hoping that infection hasn’t set in. Though she’s in pain, her tail is still wagging and she’s loving on everyone who she meets. We called our vet, and we made an emergency plan for Gaia. We told the shelter we’d be there right away. We do not have the financial means to take on this medical case, but we couldn’t leave her to die. We just couldn’t. We don’t understand how we live in Los Angeles in 2024 and so much ABUSE and neglect is happening right in front of us. Will the shelter prosecute these pet owners? Probably not. Was Gaia purchased from a breeder? Very likely. The cycle will continue because the only being who suffered was Gaia, and it seems that animals have no rights. We are so tired! Not only was Gaia’s leg left in such horrific shape, her face was so matted that it needed to be shaved. Her body is full of mats and tangles 💔 If you’re in any position to help us help Gaia, we would be incredibly grateful. We have 2 medical cases right now, and Gaia will be our third. She is deserving of so much love and life, and we want to give her back her puppyhood. Please help

We met Gruffie at the shelter a few days ago, and even though we are maxed, we immediately fell in love with her adorable face and sweet personality, so we let the shelter know that we wanted to help her. Gruffie was heavily bred and then like garbage, was abandoned on the streets, with her c-section scar still bleeding. Despite everything, she couldn’t be sweater and nicer. You gotta love dogs!❤️Gruffie would love a soft spot to rest and decompress. If you have space in your home and heart(s) and live in Los Angeles area, we would love to hear from you. Please email [email protected]. We especially encourage fosters without other dogs to apply, because a lot of incoming dogs are testing positive for all types of viruses they pick up in the shelters. Fosters without other dogs are crucial for us to count on these days. 🙏🏼If you cannot foster, please consider donating for Gruffie and our other dogs. We are struggling and need your help more than ever. Thank you so much for your support and kindness.🙏🏼❤️PayPal: [email protected] Zelle:[email protected] Venmo: @istandwithmypack. If you cannot foster or donate, please share. These dogs get seen because you share them! Thank you! 🙏🏼Thank @sailorrrsarah for the freedom ride!!!#istandwithmypack #dogsofinstagram

We rescued this absolute angel today, and named her Petunia. She’s around three years old and had likely ended up at the shelter due to her skin condition. She has infections that need to be treated and we are glad that we will be able to help her with that.🙏🏼 Poor Petunia was extremely uncomfortable, but that didn’t make her any less sweet or forgiving. She has a loving personality, and everyone absolutely adores her. We cannot for her to recover and see her shine!☀️ We secured a wonderful foster for, but if you would like to foster another dog, please reach out to us via email; [email protected]. If you would like to donate please see info bellow. As always, we are more than grateful for your generous donations. Without your help we wouldn’t be able to help those in need. Thank you.❤️ PayPal: [email protected] Zelle: [email protected] Venmo: @istandwithmypack #istandwithmypack #dogsofinstagram

Our beautiful princess Latte is doing so wonderfully in her foster home with @montgomerytwix and the pack. She has recovered from her URI and has had her spay surgery and eye enucleation. Everything went really well and she is recovering nicely, getting spoiled with red light therapy and massages. Latte is such a magical pup. She is easy going, affectionate and absolutely angelic. Anyone who adopts her will be very lucky.🍀 Huge thanks to everyone who helped us save her and most of all her loving fosters.🐶 #istandwithmypack #dogsofinstagram

This poor, sweet mama Bulldog was dumped at the shelter after clearly enduring a butchered home c-section. She was depressed and all alone, without her babies, and with teats full of milk.😭 Ready to give up on life, she hunched in the corner in excruciating pain, one eye injured, and bleeding from her vaginal area. This dog desperately needed someone to step up for her and we were notified. It’s true; we have no space or funds left for another medical dog, but, as so often happens, we pulled up our sleeves and got busy to save this angel and offer her a better life.🙏🏼 She is now safe at our vet. We named her Latte. We are truly hoping that our amazing, animal loving community will step up to help us provide Latte the medical care she so desperately needs. We absolutely cannot do this without your help.❤️🙏🏼 PayPal: [email protected] Zelle: [email protected] Venmo: @istandwithmypack Latte is not the only medical dog we pulled; please stay tuned for more posts and please apply to foster!

Please say hello to Rupert! ❤ ️This little guy was on the euth list because he was “exposed” to another dog at the shelter with parvovirus. He was scared and shut down, and was not doing well in the stressful, loud shelter environment. He needed to get out ASAP and our amazing fosters @kerrywheeler and @wellthybelly offered a safe ride to bring him to the vet for further assessment.🐾 He’s only one and a half years old and is super sweet and affectionate. We are praying that he will not come down with Parvo and the next few days will be critical. Please send him good thoughts!🙏🏼 #istandwithmypack #dogsofinstagram

Friends, our handsome bully, Lazarus, is ready for a home of his own 🐶 When we rescued Lazarus, we thought he was well-over his puppy stages, but boy were we wrong. As we’ve gotten to know him, we now know that he’s a puppy at heart. Everyday his foster has the funniest stories to share with us about Lazarus. It’s hard to believe that he’s not a human toddler 😂 Lazarus is hilarious, he’s unbelievably cute, he is goofy, he LOVES kids, and he is truly the sweetest boy (with a little spice). He walks well on leash, and he is crate trained. He is outgoing and social with people and other dogs 🐾 Lazarus is currently being fostered with large dogs, and we believe that he will be wonderful in home as an only dog or in a home with other confident, friendly dogs. Lazarus has a prey drive, so no cats, rabbits, or chickens for him. To adopt Lazarus, please email us at [email protected]!🐾 #istandwithmypack #dogsofinstagram

Saving Grandpa Otis 🥹

Our sweet friend, now named Grandpa Otis, is another severely neglected pittie, who almost lost his life due to being failed by his humans. He was scheduled to be euthanized yesterday, but the Universe conspired to help him and bring him to our attention. A wonderful foster of ours, Lucy reached out and offered to foster Grandpa Otis, which tremendously helped with our decision to jump in a vehicle and go get him.🐾 Grandpa Otis arrived to SEAACA as a scared, lost dog on February 13th, and he was listed for euth as soon as his stray hold was up. He cannot see well, he’s a slow walker, his eye looks really painful, he has an URI and we are not certain what else is medically wrong with him…but we just couldn’t let him perish in a cold and overcrowded shelter, so we rescued him and are putting our hopes into our amazing community to help us help Grandpa Otis.🙏🏼 We are now at an astonishing $12K in medical bills and haven’t been able to raise sufficient funds to cover it. Adding Grandpa Otis to our medical dogs will result in even higher bills, but we trust that you will understand that we simply couldn’t leave him behind. He is as deserving, just like any other dog under our wing, and we love him so very much. Please donate if you can. Any amount is greatly appreciated. Thank you!🙏🏼🐾 PayPal: [email protected] Zelle: [email protected] Venmo: @istandwithmypack Huge thanks to @sailorrrsarah for the safe pull and ride and @peaches_and_mabel for offering to foster!❤️ #istandwithmypack #dogsofinstagram
