Hey everyone! I hope you guys are all having a wonderful weekend!! Forgive me for having to do these begging for help posts every so often, but these babies are costing me a small fortune. It’s costing about $400-500 a month to feed them, their prevention and meds so it’s really difficult when I have to pay large vet bills in top of that. I am way overextended financially at the moment😞 I am attaching copies of our recent vet invoice for Bub’s, Blanca’s and Freya’s (warty girl) first injection of three to treat their heartworms. All 3 are high positive and have to be treated to keep them from developing serious complications that could kill them. Everything helps. Here are all the ways to donate and I’ve also linked our Amazon wish list if anyone would like to help with food and other goodies for them.❤️I truly appreciate you guys and I know these babies do too❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻 #5thwardbabies #rescuedogs #streetdogs #dogrescue #houston #houstontx #rescuedogsofinstagram #fundraiser #homelessdogs #savethemall #pibbles #pittielove #pitbull #doglove #pets #rescues https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/SH598J4CTK87?ref_=wl_share.

Guys…Look who got up the courage to follow the pack outside for the first time ever?!🥰🥰look how much more relaxed she is😁and that smile❤️❤️❤️🥰 #Blanca #adoptdontshop #fosteringsaveslives #rescuedogs #houston #streetdogs #savethemall
Freya and Bubs have become friends I think!🥰
My pack is crazy but they’re all sweet sweet. Freya is already being an amazing ambassador ❤️so proud of my babies.
Bubs is starting to warm up to the pack🥰
I have a big unruly pack 😂I don’t blame him for being nervous. I have permanently installed gates like this all over my house and have found it’s an easy way to safely acclimate them. He is now being brave, coming all the way up to the gate just to get love🥰 #Freya keeps reaching her paw through to get his attention🥹street dogs are the best dogs! Per usual, wasn’t planning on bringing another dog into the mix but he was being abused by some of the neighborhood people and so so skinny so here he is. I’m putting up link to our Amazon wish list with stuff updated as highest priority that I need for him now as well as links to donate if anyone feels so inclined.#Ittakesavillage and we are so grateful to everyone who has helped us with all of our pups❤️🙏🏻❤️😭. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/SH598J4CTK87?ref_=wl_sharePayPal and Zelle are to my gmail- [email protected] Venmo- @Shawna-Frederick-1 https://gofund.me/c6b2c67a #rescuedog #fosteringsaveslives #houstontx #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #savethemall #streetdog
I have been feeding #Bubs for about a month but he was getting skinnier and skinnier. When I pulled in to feed him yesterday, he was approaching on of the people who live in the neighborhood..for food or love, no aggression at all and they were kicking at him and throwing stuff at him.💔💔I had to get him out of there. I woke up this morning to a short term foster offer❤️🙏🏻❤️ and I picked him up and got him to vet. He has hookworms and heart worms of course😔 got his vaccines, chipped, dewormer, doxy to start heartworm treatment, monthly protection and bravecto. He’s scared but sooo sweet. He didn’t know what to make of car and it was obvious he had never walked on tile as he kept sliding and was afraid to walk. But he got through it and we’re back home now. He’s starting to give me tail wags and pulls my hand back towards him when I stop petting him❤️🥹still need longer term foster or adopter. Will arrange transport. We also need donations, every penny helps. He will need more shots, neutered, heartworm treatment. Below are links for donation and our Amazon wish list, we appreciate all of you so much. Please share and watch for updates on our newest 5th ward baby🥰❤️🥰 https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/SH598J4CTK87?ref_=wl_share

🆘🆘🆘BUBS IS GETTING SKINNIER😭
#Bubs is getting skinnier even though I’ve been feeding him . It’s so hot. I’ll figure out vetting and supplies if someone can hold him, even for just a couple days to give me time to figure out a plan🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 #houstontx #streetdog #fosteringsaveslives
#Blanca is gaining confidence everyday with the support of the pack. She has been exploring more of the house with them. 🥰🥰still skittish around us but she is coming up and sniffing our hands now and she doesn’t fully run all the way away when we make moves towards her 😂😂I’ll take it as a huge victory. Seeing her start to open up, really engage with the pack is amazing (I may or may not sob from time to time when I see her and #freya just doggin🥺❤️).

Any guesses on what breeds make up this lil beauty? Someone sent us a couple dna tests so I’m definitely gonna do one on her😁 I am still in awe at #Freya’s transformation. Physically and personality wise❤️From a warty, stinky pup who was so withdrawn and scared, trying to survive on the streets, to this perfect beauty with the sweetest, playful personality 🥰🥰🥰 We are planning to start her heartworm treatment this week and are currently seeking a foster home within a couple hours drive from Houston while she waits for her furever family. I will pay for all food, supplies and vetting. As some of you know, she ended up with me because her foster mom’s home was destroyed by Hurricane Beryl😔. The timing wasn’t great as we had already decided we had to bring #Blanca, her pack mate from the streets, home with us because we could no longer afford to pay to keep her in boarding as we ran out of donations. Plus we have our 3 big dogs. It’s a LOT. Nearly 400 pounds of dogs in my teeny home downtown😅 So if you can foster this lovely little pupper or if you’re interested in adopting her (I can arrange transport to other states for the right adopter), comment and send me a message. In the meantime, if anyone has anything to spare, her heartworm treatment will be $400-500 and it would be amazing if I could raise that. I am spread so thin financially right now between keeping my commitment to these 5 I have plus the 20-30 that I feed everyday. Every penny is so very appreciated ❤️🙏🏻❤️

#happymuttday to my babies! My five current and some of the others we’ve helped this past year. A lot of joy and a lot of heartache but every one of these babies has stolen a big piece of my heart. I wouldn’t have it any other way. And yes I’m quite obviously insane😆😂😂❤️❤️❤️ #adoptdontshop #5thwardbabies #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #rescuedogs #fosterdogs #fosteringsaveslives #fosteringsavedalloftheselives #savethemall
🆘🆘🆘 Hey everyone, I have terrible news. #Freya’s lovely foster mom lost her home from Beryl 💔 (collage pic is her home💔💔💔). This lady is a saint and had 12-13 dogs when this happened. Of course she can’t continue to foster all these animals right now so we have to find Freya another foster or adopter. They took some of the fosters to boarding in Willis, Freya is there but it’s an outdoor facility and I can’t afford to keep her there anyway. I still am paying $700 a month for her pack mate Blanca, to be in boarding and I’m not a rescue. I’m just a person who didn’t want to see something bad to these dogs. Veronica was a godsend for Freya. She was so sick with those warts and Veronica helped her through 2 surgeries and now she is completely healed!❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻 I know it’s bad in Houston right now, I can figure it out until everything is back to normal if I have a committed foster or adopter for her for sure. Prefer local to Houston but will transport out of state for right adopter. She is spayed, up to date on vaccines and plays with Veronica’s dogs without issue. Veronica said she is super sweet and housebroken, crate trained. I will supply food and supplies for foster. If you are able to donate, every penny helps. We are so close. ❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻 And please send prayers and good vibes to Veronica, her family and all those who lost so much this week.

Look at #freya, just dogging🥰 it makes me tear up because we weren’t sure our girl was ever going to be well🥹but we made her a promise that if she fought, we would fight with her. And here she is, beating the odds being completely healed of the warts. Thanks to hundreds and hundreds of people who cared enough to help in so many ways. Thank you!! Now it’s time to get her spayed, the rest of her vaccines and to treat her heartworms then she will be ready for her furever home😁 DM me for an adoption application. Will transport for right adopter. If you’re able to donate anything to help get Freya and other 5th Ward Babies ready for adoption, we would be so very grateful❤️❤️❤️ PayPal and Zelle are to my gmail- [email protected] Venmo- @Shawna-Frederick-1 https://gofund.me/c6b2c67a We appreciate you all so much!❤️🙏🏻❤️ #adoptdontshop #rescuedog #freyastrong #wedidit #5thwardbabies #fosteringsaveslives#startedatthebottomnowshehere #fosteringsavedTHISlife #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #beforeandafter
