We are so grateful to Judge's Park Small Animal Rescue for stepping up to help one very special chinchilla. 😃

Roadrunner, now lovingly renamed Tucker, was struggling with the stress of the shelter environment and needed specialized care and attention.

We knew he deserved the chance to truly thrive, and Judge’s Park Small Animal Rescue graciously opened their hearts and home to him.

Thank you for providing Tucker with the dedicated, patient, and compassionate care he needs, and for setting him up for success in his next chapter. It means so much to know he is in such experienced and loving hands.

Wishing Tucker all the happiness and cozy dust baths ahead!

Please raise your paw now to give twice the lifesaving care to animals in need.

We need your help to ensure we have the resources to care for every animal who needs us—especially dogs and cats with serious medical needs or a disability.

The 2X match ends soon, and we still need to meet our $25,000 goal for the animals at the Humane Society of Summit County.
