Lupa was only six months old when she was rescued by our partners Home for Good Dog Rescue. A lab mix, Lupa was targeted for euthanasia at a kill shelter in Swainsboro, Ga., because she was suffering from severe skin infections. She was later diagnosed with Demodex mange.

We’re helping Lupa set out on the road to recovery by paying for her antibiotics and medicated baths. Our funding will also provide her with vaccinations, spay and routine veterinary testing.

The Tess McIntyre Foundation is a 501(c)3 charity that works with rescue agency partners to help provide funding for the medical care needed by some rescued dogs. Your donations to the foundation will help us help more dogs like Lupa.

Diamond was near death when our partners at Eleventh Hour Rescue took her in. She has since had her needed surgeries, was nursed back to health and has been adopted. Many thanks to Eleventh Hour for taking such good care of her. Glad we were able to help.

When Diamond was surrendered to our partners at Eleventh Hour Rescue by an owner who no longer wanted her, she collapsed and had to be taken to an emergency vet. They determined that she had a stroke or brain tumor. It turns out that 10-year-old Diamond had never been taken to a vet and had been bred repeatedly.

We’re helping Diamond by making a contribution to offset some of her medical expenses. She is now recovering but has a lot of treatment ahead of her as she is suffering from mammary masses, a urinary tract infection, a mass on her back and ear infections.

We’re told she is getting a little better everyday. Can’t want for the time when Diamond is healthy and adopted into the caring home that she deserves.

When our partners at Golden Retriever Rescue of the Rockies (GRRR) heard about Finley, he had stopped eating and was lethargic. A visit to the vet determined that Finley had an intestinal blockage and that immediate surgery was necessary to save this two-year old Golden Retriever and to avoid permanent damage.

Finley’s owner was unable to pay for the surgery. GRRR committed to paying for Finley’s operation. That procedure found that Finley had been eating some stuff he shouldn’t have. Like a towel, some plastic wrappers and some tin foil. Finley ended up in veterinary ICU, but he regained his strength and recovered.

A GRRR volunteer brought him from Grand Junction to the rescue in Arvada, Colo. He apparently charmed the folks at the veterinary hospital where he was taken for further observation. One of the vet techs there fostered him, and then one of the veterinarians adopted him.

We are making a contribution to GRRR to help offset the expense of Finley's surgery and his follow up care. The Tess McIntyre Foundation is a 501(3)c charity. Contributions to the foundation will help us to help more dogs like Finley.

This is the puppy that had been dumped on the doorstep of a Georgia rescue in the middle of the night. Her cherry eye codition has been surgically repaired. She has been adopted and is shown below with her new sibling. Thanks to our parters at Eleventh Hour Rescue for taking such good care of her. Glad we were able to make a contribution to help out.

This little puppy was left on the front porch of a Georgia rescue in the middle of the night. She was howling and crying. We don’t know who dumped her but suspect it was a breeder who didn’t want to deal with the cherry eye condition she suffers from in each eye.

Athena is a six-month old Cano Corso mix. She was sent north to our partners at Eleventh Hour Rescue in Morris County, N.J. Along the way she caught pneumonia, requiring treatment that delayed her eye surgery.

The Tess McIntyre Foundation is sponsoring Athena and making a donation to help offset the cost of her pneumonia treatment, cherry eye surgery, and spay. We’re confident that under the care of our partners at Eleventh Hour, Athena will soon be fully healthy and ready to find her forever home.

Jack is a 1-½ year old Pekingese who was slated for euthanasia due to a severe eye infection. Our partners Home for Good Dog Rescue saved Jack from the kill shelter where they found him in Augusta, Ga.

Jack made a trip to the vet where it was determined that the eye was causing so much pain and discomfort that it needed to be removed. That surgery has taken place and Jack is recovering. He will soon be headed to New Jersey for adoption. His prognosis is excellent and he is expected to lead a full and happy life.

The Tess McIntyre Foundation is sponsoring Jack and has made a donation to cover the cost of his surgery. The foundation is a 501(c)3 charity. One hundred percent of the money donated to the foundation goes to helping dogs like Jack, as we have no administrative or marketing expenses.

Mufassa came to our partners at Southern California Golden Retriever Rescue after being picked up as a stray in Bakersfield. He was thought to have a dislocated shoulder but after vets saw the muscle and tissue damage around the shoulder they determined he would never be able to use his leg again and it was amputated. He is now in a foster home, recovering well and learning to function on three legs. We were happy to be able to make a contribution to offset medical expenses for this 3-year-old Golden mix.

Two of the three Golden Retriever puppies that were rescued by our partners Home for Good Dog Rescue after being picked up on the side of a road in Marion County, Ga., have been adopted. These girls were suffering from severe mange and skin infections. Glad we were able to help by paying for their treatment.

This is one of three Golden Retriever puppies that were found as strays in Marion, S.C. Picked up on the side of a road, they were emaciated with barely any fur left on their bodies.

Nicknamed the Golden Girls by our partners Home for Good Dog Rescue, Liz, Lisa and Erin were covered with demodex mange as well as fleas and ticks. They also had skin infections.

Now at Home for Good’s facility in Aiken, S.C., our contribution is paying for weekly medicated baths, deworming and antibiotics. All three will also be vaccinated and spayed.

Donations to the Tess McIntyre Foundation will help us help more dogs like these three puppies.

We don’t know for sure what happened to Snoop but you can see she’s scared. Snoop was on the euthanasia list at the overcrowded Marion County, S.C., shelter where she was rescued by our partners Home for Good Dogs. They believe she was a failed hunting dog.

Snoop is heartworm positive. We’ll be picking up the tab to treat her.

Our partners at Home for Good Dog Rescue (HFG) saved this frisky puppy from a shelter in Augusta., Ga., where he was due to be euthanized because of a suspected broken leg, likely due to being hit by a car.

He was diagnosed to have a broken femur. Horatio was treated with a splint and by restricting his exercise. As you can see from the video he is recovering well at HFG’s care facility in Aiken, Ga. So happy to see him being a playful happy puppy again.

The Tess McIntyre Foundation made a contribution to pay Horatio’s veterinary bill. Please consider a donation to the foundation so we can help more dogs like Horatio.

Willie was rescued from a kill shelter in Swainsboro, Georgia where he was dumped at the senior age of 7 years old. Willie had likely lived his entire life outdoors as he was an extremely strong Heartworm positive upon rescue. In addition to his Heartworm status, he was suffering from severe periodontitis from lack of nutrition throughout his lifetime and poor quality food. Dental surgery was necessary in order to restore his teeth and gum health.

Thanks to the generous support of the Tess McIntyre Foundation we were able to successfully treat Willie’s heartworm disease and he received the dental surgery he so desperately needed.

Despite Willie’s rough beginnings, he is the sweetest most forgiving, and loving soul and today he found the forever family of his dreams. He was such a favorite amongst all of the Home for Good team. Willie will be so spoiled in his new forever home. We wish him and his new adoptive family all the best in this next amazing chapter! 🥹❤️🐾
