📣 UPDATE: Sinatra Is On His Way!

💔 SITUATION IS URGENT: He Needs Surgery to Walk Again 💔

Sinatra is officially loaded up and headed to his Texas foster! 💛
He’s been such a trooper through everything — even with a broken femur and severe pelvic fractures, he’s stayed gentle, sweet, and full of heart.

We just got off the phone with Dallas Veterinary Surgical Center — they’re now reviewing his records and will be giving us an appointment and estimate ASAP.

Here’s what we know:
🩻 Surgery is absolutely necessary — per orthopedic surgeon, his injuries will not heal on their own.
⏳ Time matters — the longer we wait, the more complex the surgery becomes.
💸 Estimated cost: $6,500+, and that’s just for surgery (not meds, transport, or recovery care).
💔 We’ve only raised $580 so far.

We’re doing everything we can — but we need your help to give Sinatra a pain-free future. 🙏

OUR AMAZING FOSTERS, Page and Sheila have stepped up to foster Sinatra. Thank you all who shared.

Please continue to share his story for donations. We are quite nowhere near the goal of what surgery is going to cost. We are getting an estimate but know it'll be in the thousands.

🚨 TEMPORARY FOSTER NEEDED IN TEXAS 🚨
Sinatra — this sweet, calm boy has been through more than most. He needs help with the next part of his journey of recovery to his final destination of happiness.

He was hit by a car and left behind. His pelvis is fractured in multiple places… but his spirit? Unbreakable. He wags his tail for every kind word and even snuggles with the shelter cat.

💙 He’s currently in Texas and we’re working on transport to New York — but he can’t make that trip just yet so he needs a safe, quiet place for now.

We’re urgently looking for a short-term foster to care for him while he we set transport in motion. He’s:
✅ Potty trained
✅ Great with dogs and cats
✅ Low-maintenance and calm
✅ On rest and relaxation per doctor’s orders

We can provide all supplies and vet care — you provide a soft bed and some love. Just a few weeks of your time can completely change his life.

💙 Sinatra also still needs donations for his surgery. Every dollar helps him get the care he deserves. Donate on our website.

Can’t foster? Please share this post — it could be what gets Sinatra to safety.

🚨 Sinatra Medical Update 🚨

We just heard back from the vet after reviewing 8 x-rays, and the news is heartbreaking.

💔 Sinatra has multiple pelvic fractures, including at the left acetabulum and right ilium, and his pelvis is no longer symmetrical. Most concerning, there is no callus formation on his left femur, which means it's not healing on its own.

We've consulted our go-to orthopedic expert, Dr. Hedrick, to determine the best course of action. He said "This would be a nice fracture to repair. I'd give a very good to excellent prognosis for this."

This is a serious injury that will need:
💤 Long-term foster care
💰 Costly surgery and rehab
🩺 Ongoing medical oversight

So far, we've only raised a couple hundred dollars, and we’re going to need much more to give Sinatra a real shot at recovery.

🙏 We can’t do this without you.

🚨 Rescue Update: Sinatra 🚨

We made the decision to take Sinatra into our rescue after he was tragically hit by a car. 💔 Today he's at the vet getting x-rays to assess the damage—and we’re crossing our fingers that both of his legs aren’t broken.

Sinatra is spending the day with a little buddy, one of three dogs hit by cars just this week who all ended up at the shelter. It's been a heartbreaking few days, but we're doing everything we can to give pups like them a second chance.

🙏 We need your help. Sinatra is facing surgery and a long road to recovery, and we haven’t raised much toward his care yet. Every dollar donated makes a difference.

🗽 He will be coming to New York in the next couple of weeks and will need a foster in the tri-state area—please reach out if you can help!

📣 Please share his story to help us reach more people.

We’ll keep you updated as we learn more. Thank you for standing with Sinatra. 💙

***LUNA HAS BEEN ADOPTED***

🌙 Luna – A One-in-a-Million Pup Looking for Her Forever 🐾

Luna is a 7-month-old Wheaten Terrier mix with a heart of gold and a sparkle in her eyes. She currently weighs 19 lbs and will likely remain a small-to-medium-sized dog.

We rescued Luna along with her entire litter — and every single family who adopted one of her siblings has said they’re the best dog they’ve ever had. Luna is no exception.

Her current family is heartbroken to give her up due to severe allergies. She has been so loved, well-trained, and adored since adoption. They’ve poured their hearts into her, and it shows — Luna is affectionate, incredibly smart, housebroken, and eager to please.

She’s dog-friendly, crate trained, and goes to doggy daycare once a week (which she loves!). She thrives in a home where she’s included, engaged, and given lots of love and attention.

📍 Located in Haworth, NJ
📝 Apply to adopt her at www.barking-back.org

Luna deserves a forever home as special as she is. Let’s find her the happy ending her whole litter is already living 💛

💔 URGENT: Help Sinatra Get the Care He Desperately Needs 💔

This is Sinatra — a very friendly, 2-year-old, medium-sized boy who was hit by a car and left with what may be two broken legs. He’s in pain. He’s scared. And he’s sitting in a Texas shelter that doesn’t have the capability to get x-rays.

We’re currently on a rescue break, but we’re willing to step up for Sinatra if we can get the support he needs. 💛

He cannot do this without us — and we cannot do it without YOU.

🐾 Sinatra needs:

Pledges toward his emergency vet care 💵

A short-term foster in Texas to get him safe and out of the shelter 🏡

Shares and support to spread the word 📣

We were hoping another rescue was stepping up — but time is critical, and we’re preparing to help if no one else can.

Every dollar pledged goes directly to help save Sinatra — to ease his pain, start his treatment, and give him a chance at recovery and love.

She’s been patiently waiting, but she deserves to find her perfect match. If you’ve been thinking about bringing a dog into your life, Lexi is ready to shower you with love.

🐾 SPAY/NEUTER SPONSORS NEEDED 🐾

Meet Spotty, mama of our sweet boy Eli. Thanks to your support, she’s now spayed and won’t have to endure another litter — or risk more pups being born with health issues. You made that happen. ❤️

Her family loves their pets but still has 4 dogs and 2 cats needing spay/neuter. (1 is covered). We also talked about possibly rehoming some, knowing how costly vet care can be if illness strikes.

Buddy, a pup they had to give up, came along for the visit — and it was a joyful reunion after 4.5 months. But they understand things must change to protect the animals.

Sadly, two of Eli’s siblings ended up in a shelter after being rehomed. We want to stop this cycle — one family at a time.

We’re raising:

$125 per dog

$50 per cat
(Includes spay/neuter + rabies vaccine.)

Extra funds will help other animals in need.
👉 Donate via our website — PayPal preferred, as it’s accepted directly by our vet for rescue rates.

Thank you for being part of the solution. 💙

SPONSORS NEEDED

We could use a few sponsors who would like to help one pup at a time with the overpopulation issue. Our local clinic is booked out for months but we were able to get a few in for tomorrow.

You all know our little Eli with the heart condition. What you don't know is that where he came from, they have 5 unaltered dogs who have had multiple litters already. Been trying to convince them to allow us to help with that problem. Finally we can get one in tomorrow who is in heat, but we are low on funds. We've had too much going on.

We have other pups needing spay/neuter as well. We need about $125 per dog. We need to raise $$ for 3 pups in the immediate. If we can raise enough for all of their 5 dogs as well, I will present to them getting them fixed, but can't until I know we can afford it.

Paypal preferred, because we have to pay TARA through the rescue and they only take check or PP. If you can't do Paypal, Venmo will work.

Our village is AWESOMEEEE
The pups thank you for the food.

28/05/2025

Hey Everyone, we could really use some food donations. We have a lot of long-term resident pups in foster homes and the food bill can get hefty (We have 3 currently that have been with us 1 to 2 years). We mostly use Diamond Naturals (Chicken or Lamb) or 4Health because they are still a good food but aren't as costly as some.

Food donations can be sent through our Amazon wishlist (Link below) or set for pickup at our local tractor supply in Middletown, NY 10940. (Put it under Kim Nigro)
