Third day after the pyometra surgery and Luna is finally eating "con gusto"!!!
Can you hear the rooster in the background?

We are in need of a few of these containers or similar ones to store and transport the large quantities of food we are donated/distributing every month.
Anyone that is selling at a good price or can donate a few?
I know...Caroline had some but I arrived too late😭

Guava still has a long road ahead in his recovery. He’s made only a few small attempts so far, but already better than the first day. Every day he gets therapy, treatment, and care — and every little progress gives us hope.

He has no owner, no one to care for him. Found in the bushes, unable to walk, the easiest thing would have been to give up. But the day I went to pick him up, he tried to lift himself. That tiny effort was enough to say, let’s give it a chance.

Even without a family, we’re doing everything we can for him, trusting that along the way there will be good news, and a home that will love him. Guava deserves that chance — and we’re not giving up on him.
Food and safety mean a lot for anyone so now Guava has this plus 1 chance to heal.
And while we always want a quick healing this might take longer.

Close your eyes for a second and imagine being him paralized in the bushes...what do you feel?Fear, hopelessness, loneliness.
These are all emotions he felt.Then hope arrived....and for this hope we are trying.

When I explain what’s happening with a dog, I like to compare it to people situations so it is easier to understand.
If a woman has surgery to remove her uterus, she needs time, rest, and care to heal — it’s exactly the same for dogs.

Luna’s surgery was very serious. She hadn’t eaten for five days and was already so weak, but her will to live is strong. Recovery now takes patience, love, and tenderness. ❤️

Her family is doing everything right (and yes, putting up with me too 😄).
The first night was hard, but yesterday was already a better day — she rested, ate a little, and even wagged her tail.

I’ll never fully understand the magic of chicken soup… but somehow, it’s healing dogs too. 🐾🍲💛

Rocky and his abuela, finally together. ❤️🐾
This boy… what a fighter. If resilience were a class, Rocky would be the teacher.

When I look at them together, I’m reminded why we do what we do. The abuela will probably never meet many of you who helped, but her prayers are following us. And sometimes, it’s the prayers of those unseen hearts that keep us standing when things get hard.

She told me she has a few chickens and that she’s been collecting eggs to give me as a thank you.
Do you understand what that means?
The only thing she has to give is her own food — and still, she wants to share it.

That kind of gratitude humbles you. It reminds you that love and kindness don’t need much — just a true heart. ❤️
Gracias Doña Monica Mayrena Munguia.
Afterall your love for Rocky moved mountains and hearts and brought out the giving and compassionate heart in us. At 94 years old you inspire me.May we have the same effect on people's heart as we age.
Viva las abuelas!!

💉 Please, never use the “no-pregnancy” injection. Luna is living proof of what it can cause.

What is this? It’s called Pyometra.
A terrible infection that often comes when people use those $2 injections to stop dogs from getting pregnant. The price seems small — but it can cost a life. 💔

Last night, I shared an urgent plea for Luna. She had stopped eating for five days, had a green discharge, and her belly was swollen. Her family thought she was pregnant with dead puppies inside(I have seen pregnant bloated dogs with dead puppies inside...awful)— but she wasn’t. Her uterus was full of infection.

Today she had emergency surgery, and her life was saved! ❤️

Luna lives with a humble family in Lucy Point, way past Oak Ridge. They love her, but didn’t have the means to help. Without this surgery, she would have faced a slow and painful death...and smelly.

Now we have bills for Luna’s surgery, Rocky (who went home today 🎉), and Guava, who’s still recovering. The vets have been so patient, but it’s low season and funds are tight.

We might do another raffle to raise funds — if you have ideas or want to help, please share! 🙏🐾

Thank you for always being there. You truly save lives. ❤️
I know...it will never end but at least we help what we can just like the story of the starfish on the beach...it makes all the difference in the world for that 1 animal.

Finally going home soon for Rocky!
The name they gave him fits him perfectly — strong, resilient, and full of heart.

Just 12 days ago, he was in atrocious pain, and today he’s all perky and ready to go home. You may wonder why all this excitement… Well, Rocky’s abuela is 93 years old, and the very same day Rocky had his surgery, she also ended up in the hospital. The mysteries of life.

That very night, she was able to return home. And now, the joy is double — for abuela and her beloved pup. Whatever time they have left, they’ll share it together.

It makes you think — who are the unseen and the voiceless around us? The poor, the elderly, the animals… It’s so easy to get caught up in the glitter of the world and forget the essence of life.

The joy of this abuela is truly priceless. ❤️🐾
And we get to share that joy!

A huge thank-you to everyone who helped pay for Rocky’s surgery. One abuela and her dog — she may never meet you, but her prayers will follow you.

I deeply admire each one of you who gave without expecting anything in return. That is what true helping looks like. Thank you, from the heart. 🙏💖

Rocky’s Update 💙

Rocky will have his stitches removed on Wednesday! Since the surgery, he’s been on a special wet food diet that has helped him a lot — I am sharing the brand in case anyone ever needs something similar for a dog in recovery.

Today will be his first day trying some dry food again, so we’ll see how he reacts. If everything goes according to plan, Wednesday morning he’ll get his stitches out, and Wednesday afternoon… he’ll finally go home! 🏡✨

Now, his medical journey isn’t over yet. Rocky still has heartworm and ehrlichia, and of course, will be treated from TVT as well. But one step at a time — the most important thing was that he could p**p on his own and not face new complications, and he’s doing it!

This boy is truly a survivor. With everything he’s been through, he keeps fighting and improving every single day. He’s strong, brave, and full of life — a real fighter. 💚
Not bad for a Monday😀

✨ Bella’s Happy Ending ✨
About a month ago, we found a home for Lucretia — that was her name back then. Today, she’s Bella, and her name fits her perfectly. 💕

Bella was abandoned with her siblings in terrible conditions like garbage.
Sadly, we couldn’t find homes for the other two, but Bella hit the little jackpot. 🍀 She now has an amazing family and doggy brothers — and she’s the queen of the house! 👑🐾

Her story is a reminder that one act of kindness can truly change a life.

Please remember — rescuers aren’t meant to pick up all the animals or act as shelters. It takes a whole community to care. You might not have experience, but you can always ask how to help. Maybe it’s an emergency, maybe it’s just giving a ride, or maybe it’s sharing a post.

The idea that rescue is only the job of rescuers means a society is failing — because that would mean only a few people have a heart. 💔

Let Bella’s story inspire you to be courageous. If you see a need, step in — help will come along the way. 💪💖
