These two puppies almost became another statistic.
When our team arrived, they were absolutely terrified. They didn’t run to us for help. They ran from us. Every movement, every attempt to get close, was met with fear. They had already begun learning to survive without human kindness.
They likely would have grown up feral. Struggling to find food. Facing harsh weather. Producing more unwanted puppies. Living lives filled with fear instead of love.
But today, their story changed.
Today they are safe.
Tonight they’ll sleep somewhere warm. They’ll have full bellies. They’ll experience gentle hands instead of having to fend for themselves. For the first time, they have a chance at the life every dog deserves.
The reality is that there are so many more just like them waiting for help.
And right now, we’re scared too.
Over the past few days alone, we’ve had three puppies hospitalized with parvovirus for three days while continuing to care for countless animals that are sick, injured, neglected, or in desperate need of medical attention. The veterinary bills continue to pile up, and despite our best efforts, donations simply aren’t keeping pace with the need.
If we cannot secure additional funding, we honestly don’t know what the future holds for urgent medical cases. We don’t know how many more times we’ll be able to say “yes” when the next call comes in about puppies like these.
These two puppies were lucky. Someone showed up before it was too late.
Please help us make sure we can keep showing up.
If you’re able, please donate. If you’ve ever thought about making a larger gift, now is the time. We’re also desperately searching for a donor or business willing to sponsor a matching donation challenge to help us raise the funds needed to continue this lifesaving work.
Because somewhere tonight, there are more puppies just like these waiting for someone to care.
And we want to be able to answer that call.
