Someone is packing his bags today. After spending 5 days in the hospital he got his discharge papers!
This little guy fought through starvation, when his body was so close to shutting down.
We thank you for supporting him. Your generosity makes our work to save dogs like Crew possible.
The balance to Orchard Park and McClelland not covered by donations will be approximately 3,000.00. If you have a little to share, your support truly means everything to our mission.

9:00 am Monday update: Good news- Crew started eating last night. We are transferring him to McClelland Vet hospital where one of our wonderful foster moms works as a vet tech. He will continue to receive IV fluids and glucose with a plan to start weaning as tolerated. We are incredibly happy for Crew and for everyone supporting this little guy!

11:00 am Sunday update. Crew was seen by the doctor that saw him yesterday. She reports that he is “brighter” today! They did find coccidia so he started treatment for that. He is tolerating some syringe feeding. They hope to get new bloodwork on him later. So happy for a positive report!

It is with great saddness that we have to update that we lost Coralie. Her body gave all it could . 💔
We will pour our efforts and resources into trying to save her brother. The doctor just reported that he remains critical but he is stable. Please send prayers for his healing. ❤️

We received a call from a local ACO on Thursday night. A person reported finding 2 small puppies in an abandoned apartment. He asked if we could help. We went to meet the person and we were handed these tiny pups, just skeletons and fur, huddled together- their only comfort. 😢

We took them to our vet. They have been receiving fluids and syringe feedings. However, they have not been responding to treatment as we had hoped. They are in guarded condition. They are suffering from starvation.

Our hearts hurt 💔

This morning we decided to hospitaize them at Orchard Park Emergency. These adorable, innocent babies are fully dependent on us for their survival. We are drowning in vet bills but we are not drowning in hope or effort. We just need a little help from out friends to help us help them. 🙏

Every dollar donated will go directly to helping Crew & Coralie. They need our help.

We have awarded our 3rd Quarter Lisa Marcera Miracle Grant of 2025 https://puppymillrescueteam.org/lisa-marcera-miracle-fund/ to 716 PAWS to assist them in providing critical care for Dandelion.

Dandelion was pulled by 716 PAWS in collaboration with PMRT. Dandelion is a 3 month old Pomeranian puppy mill survivor who arrived at the vet office where she tested positive for coccidia, giardia and a grade 5 heart murmur. She was not a candidate to be spayed until she had an echo cardiogram/ultrasound done of her heart. 716 PAWS scheduled a vet appointment where it was found that she has right to left shunt- Eisenmenger’s Syndrome, along with severe right ventricular enlargement, and hypertrophy. She has a persistent left cranial vena cava and severe pulmonary hypertension. She is not a candidate to be spayed and the cardiologist only recommends medicine at this time along with echo-cardiograms twice a year. Dandelion is not letting her diagnosis slow her down, she still loves to play with her foster siblings and gives the best snuggles!

Lisa was a champion for so many animals like Dandelion. PMRT and her family keep this fund going to honor not only Lisa but the values she demonstrated. People like Lisa keep the work of rescues alive.

Hey, Rochester! We are holding an online raffle fundraiser with a fantastic bundle prize for a foster puppy, Vera. Vera came to us with a partially healed broken femur. Unfortunately her leg is not stable and without surgery she is at a high risk of it breaking again.

Her foster mom put together an awesome fund-raiser to help us help her! A donation of $25 enters you into the drawing to win $1,000 in gift cards to a variety of awesome local restaurants and 8 tix to Red Wings vs Syracuse game 8/12!

Note for Vera with your entry!

Please go to the original post on our partner page and help us if you can 🙏

For this week’s check into the Puppy Mill Rescue Team Nursery, we check in on one pup who needs a little extra help from our supporters🙏 Baby Purple turns 6 weeks old today, but her journey has been a roller coaster ride to get here. Her very dedicated foster has been attentive to her needs and an increased respiratory rate was cause for alarm over the holiday weekend. Memorial Day picnics, extra time with family, many were celebrating… but rescue never sleeps! Baby Purple started to display signs of needing more help than we could provide, thus sending us to find an emergency vet to treat her. Her foster drove her out to Blue Pearl in Buffalo when Rochester emergency vets couldn’t help. The included invoice is for less than 24 hours of hospitalization (only about 8 hours to be exact!) so that she could be on oxygen and begin treatment for what appeared to be pneumonia. This tiny chunk needed help to get over the hump and if you know anything about young puppies, they can crash quickly. We are fortunate to have had a relationship with another local vet to transfer her to the next morning, and then a foster with oxygen available to transfer her to after further workup there. This is a hefty cost for our rescue for less than 24 hours of care. Baby Purple is now back to being fiesty and demanding attention.. good signs for a young pup! We are confident she will be ready to start looking for her forever home in the near future once fully recovered.

Her amazing foster donated $500 towards the costs of her care completely unprompted. (We love you Christina! 🥰) We’d love to match that with donations from our followers. If 100 people donated $5.00, we could have most of this bill covered! Please like, share, comment, donate if you can 💕 We cannot continue to help dogs in need without your support!

We are gratefully accepting donations through the donate button on this post, or we are also on Venmo & PayPal. Thank you! 🙏

We love cleft puppies here at PMRT too and are well-versed in the care of medically needy pups. It is a labor of love taking care of these tiny pups, but we wouldn’t have it any other way. 💕 Love to see stories like this!
