REMY UPDATE: HE FOUND HIS FOREVER! 🐾💛

From fighting for his life alone on the streets to finding a family to call his own, Remy’s journey is a beautiful reminder of why we do what we do.

Remy taught us that even when the odds seem impossible, giving up is never an option. His strength, resilience, and will to keep fighting inspired so many of you, and his story touched the hearts of a very special family who knew he was meant to be theirs.

We are overjoyed to share that Remy has officially found his forever home! And the best part? He now has a younger brother named Harold to share his new adventures with! 🐶💛

After everything Remy has been through, knowing he will spend the rest of his days surrounded by love, comfort, and family is everything we could have hoped for.

Please join us in congratulating Remy and his wonderful new family! Here’s to second chances, happy endings, and a lifetime of unconditional love. 💛🐾

Fun Fact: Remy loves beach walks. (See next slide)☀️🌊

🐾 Mellie Update! 🐾
We’re so happy to share that Mellie is recovering beautifully from her spinal procedure!💛 She’ll need to remain on restricted activity for another month, but that hasn’t slowed this sweet girl down one bit. In fact, she’s absolutely loving all the extra attention and TLC she’s receiving! 🥰

A huge thank you to the incredible staff at Rise Pet Health for loving Mellie, caring for her, and helping her through those important first few weeks of recovery. We’re so grateful for everything you’ve done for her! 💛

Mellie is now settling into her foster home, where she’s getting all the love, comfort, and attention she so rightfully deserves. 🏡💛

And the best news… Mellie is officially available for adoption! 🎉

If you think Mellie might be your perfect match, send us a DM to learn more about this very special girl. 🐶💛

On Monday, Joey Tuccio and his team came across Mellie, a 3-year-old terrier mix found on Skid Row who was likely the victim of a hit-and-run.
Mellie was covered in wounds and, tragically, had lost the use of her back legs. Despite everything she had endured, she remained hopeful and was the sweetest girl to everyone she met. Joey knew she needed help—and she needed it quickly.

That’s when Unconditional stepped in to take over her care. Mellie immediately arrived at our veterinary partner, Rise Pet Health, where their team wasted no time performing the necessary tests and preparing her for surgery.

Mellie had multiple broken bones along her spine, and each one was carefully repaired. Unfortunately, her spine sustained so much trauma that regaining mobility is unlikely. But that doesn’t mean she can’t have a beautiful life ahead of her. She will be able to live pain-free and, in time, roll around in a fresh set of wheels. 💛

Thank you, Joey, for saving Mellie and advocating for her when she needed someone most. We are so grateful to be a part of her journey and can’t wait to see where her story takes her.

Mellie has a long road to recovery ahead, but she’s already shown us just how strong and resilient she is. Once she’s ready, she will be available for adoption.

If you’re interested in giving Mellie the loving home she deserves, please DM us. 🐾💛

Remy Update 💛
Remy is officially with his foster family, and he had a very comfortable first night. We’re pretty sure it’s been a while since Remy has had a truly cozy place to sleep, so the past 24 hours have been filled with lots of much-needed snoozing. 😴💛

He’s already looking better, but Remy still has a journey of healing ahead of him. For now, he’s safe, comfortable, and getting the love and rest he so deserves.

Remy will soon be available for adoption. If you’re interested in helping him continue on this journey and becoming part of his happy ending, please reach out. 💛

Remy Update 💛🐾
Remy is doing well with the team at Rise, and for that, we are incredibly grateful. He will be staying there one more day so they can continue to closely monitor him before he begins the next step of his rehabilitation with his foster.

We now know just how much Remy has been fighting through.

His condition is the result of severe, prolonged malnourishment. He is less than half of his ideal body weight — nothing but skin and bones. His little body is severely depleted, and he has been diagnosed with nutrient deficiencies and flea anemia. He is still battling tapeworms and significant muscle weakness.

And then we learned he had a ROCK in his stomach. A rock!💔🪨

We can’t help but wonder how long he had been living this way. How long was he hungry? How long was he weak? How long had he been trying to survive with so little?

We honestly don’t know how much time Remy had left when our paths finally crossed. But we do know that he was found, he was seen, and he is finally getting the care he so desperately needed.

Tomorrow, Remy will continue his journey toward recovery in the loving care of his foster. There is a long road ahead, and he has a lot of healing to do — but he is here. He is fighting. And he is not alone anymore. 💛

We are so incredibly thankful for everyone who has supported Remy and continues to follow his journey. Your love, prayers, donations, and encouragement mean more than you know.

This is just the beginning for Remy. 🐾💛

More updates coming soon.

Remy was found almost lifeless on the streets of LA today. 💔 He is now safe and receiving care with the Rise Pet Health team.
Not every rescue is planned. Sometimes, they happen spontaneously — because an animal needs help right then and there. That’s how Remy’s story began.

Now, Remy needs a foster to help him through this difficult stage. He needs a safe, loving place where he can rest, recover, and begin to heal. 💛

If you’re interested in fostering Remy, please fill out the form through the link in our bio or DM us to express your interest.

This sweet boy has already fought so hard. Now he needs someone to help him take the next step. 🐾

🐾 Meet Sasa! 💛 This 3-year-old Miniature Poodle is all smiles, cuddles, and personality! She loves walks, exploring, treats, neck scratches, and—of course—stealing every pillow she can find. 🛏️😂

Sasa has meningoencephalitis and is currently on a treatment plan with monthly injections, but with her medical care, she gets to enjoy life just like any other happy pup. She’s loyal, affectionate, smart, and gets along with dogs and cats. 🐶🐱

All Sasa wants is a person to love, a lap to curl up in, and a pillow to call her own.💛🐾

🐾 Meet Owen! 💛 This 10-year-old senior gentleman is the definition of mellow. Rescued as a stray from an LA shelter, Owen has blossomed into a sweet, loving boy who just wants to be near his person—preferably for a nap! 😴

Owen loves leisurely walks, meeting neighborhood pups, and sniffing every smell along the way. He’s blind in one eye, but with a little guidance, he happily explores the world. He’s also a total sweetheart with our three cats and is making great progress with house and crate training.

Owen is a gentle, loyal companion who would love nothing more than a cozy home to spend his golden years. 🐶💛

At 10 years old, Penny has already beaten impossible odds. Found as a stray, she arrived at the shelter with one missing eye and the other causing her constant pain. After losing her remaining eye, she was placed on the euthanasia list just days later—but thankfully, her story didn’t end there.
Now this sweet, completely blind Maltese is looking for the patient family she deserves. Penny loves to be held, gives the sweetest kisses, is mostly potty trained, and confidently explores the world with her heart leading the way. She may be blind, but nothing stops her from loving life (or hiding treats for later!).
Penny is looking for a calm, loving home where she can feel safe, snuggled, and cherished for the rest of her days. Could that be with you? 💛🐾
