Pet Tender Angels Rescue and Rehabilitation

Two new faces, two very different stories, one loving safety net. 🐾❤️
​Please join us in welcoming Finnigan and Gabby to Pet Tender Angels!
​🐶 Finnigan is a lively 1-year-old boy who was found wandering the streets as a stray. Despite no one coming forward for him, his resilient spirit hasn't dimmed a bit, and he’s ready for a fresh start!
​🐕 Gabby is an 11-year-old sweet girl who was originally adopted from PTA back in 2020. Tragically, she recently lost both of her beloved parents. PTA is a promise for life—so of course, we immediately welcomed our girl back into our care to give her all the love and comfort she deserves during this transition.
​From 1-year-old playful energy to 11-year-old senior gentle sweetness, both of these precious pups are safe, warm, and loved. Stay tuned as we get to know them better and prepare them for their next chapters! 🌟

Damp outfits, warm hearts! ☔️❤️
​Tropical storm weather has nothing on our incredible volunteers. Rain or shine, they always show up for the pups—even when it means getting completely soaked! We truly have the absolute BEST team. Thank you for everything you do! 🐕✨

Please ​send a little extra love Rey Rey's way. ❤️ He's feeling really under the weather, and a vet visit confirmed a large amount of crystals in his urine. He’s definitely sore and uncomfortable, and it's breaking my heart. We're transitioning his food and incorporating holistic support to help his body heal. Please keep him in your prayers—we're doing everything we can to get him feeling like himself again!😔

Quick Genetic Update on Oakley 🐾9/23/26
To put it simply: Oakley tested as a "carrier" for the gene we were testing.
What that means: He only has one copy of the mutated gene, not two. Because the second gene is healthy, it acts as a backup, meaning he tested negative for the actual genetic disease itself.
The "dormant" part: Having one gene usually means it stays inactive/dormant and won't cause the full-blown illness, though it can't be ruled out 100%.
Bottom line: The test mostly rules out that specific genetic condition, which is good news! However, because he is still having symptoms, his neurologist recommends an MRI to look for physical or structural causes we can treat.
Please continue to say prayers. I am waiting on an estimate from the doctor's office to proceed.

Update 9/2/26: Unfortunately, the neurology team suspects Oakley may have NCL (Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis), a rare genetic disease with no cure. We are sending off genetic testing to see if he carries the two specific gene mutations associated with this condition.
Depending on what those results show, our next step may be an MRI to help rule out any treatable conditions.
This isn't the news we were hoping for, but we are taking it one step at a time to get sweet Oakley the answers he deserves. Please keep sending prayers and positive thoughts his way! 🙏🐾

Meet sweet Oakley 🐾❤️
​We’re sharing a special prayer request for this boy today. Oakley was at Upstate Veterinary Specialists receiving a full neurological evaluation to help us figure out what’s behind some symptoms we’ve been noticing over the past few months.
​Unfortunately, the neurology team suspects he may have NCL (Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis), a rare genetic condition without a cure. We’ve sent off DNA for genetic testing to check for the two known mutations associated with it. Depending on those results, our next step will likely be an MRI to rule out any treatable causes.
​This wasn't the news we were hoping for, but we’re taking it one day at a time to get Oakley the answers and care he deserves. Please wrap this precious boy in love, light, and prayers today! We’ll keep everyone updated as we learn more. 🙏✨

The moment you feel guilty because your semi-feral dog is finally cuddling with you on the couch... but you know it’s only because he’s terrified of the storm outside. 🌩️😔
​Hey, temporary emotional support is still emotional support! 🐾❤️

Its official. Lucky has passed her foster test with the cats and previous dog and has offially been adopted. We can not believe it took almost 3 years for this special girl to find her home. We are so happy.

Sept 10, 2026. We wish we had better news to share, but our sweet Shirley has been struggling the last few days. We arranged for her to be seen by the vet today and our hearts are heavy with the decision that it is time to let her rest and cross the Rainbow Bridge. She was surrounded by love, comfort, and tenderness as we said goodbye. Thank you to everyone who has supported and prayed for Shirley on her journey.

​I’m feeling cautiously optimistic: her mast cell tumors appear to be shrinking! The tumor on her ear definitely looks smaller and feels much looser rather than tight, and the large one on her shoulder seems to be scaling down as well. While it’s a bit tricky to measure because of its initial size, I really believe the medications are working. Best of all, Shirley remains happy, comfortable, and completely stress-free.

Hi everyone,
​I wanted to share a quick update on Shirley. We received her biopsy results back and unfortunately, it confirmed a mast cell tumor.😓
​Because a mass was removed just a few months ago and this new growth—along with a very large mass on her shoulder—has appeared so quickly, surgery is not a great option this time.
​The good news☺️ is that Shirley still has good energy, a bright spirit, and isn't ready for the Rainbow Bridge just yet. To keep her comfortable and give her the best quality of life possible, we are starting her on a palliative care routine to help reduce the severe inflammation and hopefully shrink the tumors and keep them from getting angry. I am also going to look into a homeopathic remedy that might aid in keeping her comfortable.
​Right now, our goal is simply to spoil her, keep her comfortable, and enjoy every good day she has with us. Thank you all so much for the prayers and concern—I’ll keep everyone posted on how she responds to the medication over the coming days! 😓

Prayers for Sweet Shirley 🐾💔
​We are asking for all the love, positive vibes, and prayers you can send for our girl Shirley right now.
​A few months ago, Shirley had a tiny, grape-sized mass removed from her ear and recovered like a champ. But a couple of days ago, we noticed a tangerine-sized mass had formed behind her ear almost overnight. Just two days later, an even larger mass appeared in her shoulder—both growing rapidly and aggressively.
​Watching her go through this so quickly is completely heartbreaking, and we are working closely with our vet to get her immediate answers, diagnostics, and comfort care.
​Shirley is such a sweet soul and a fighter, but she needs all the extra love she can get right now. Please keep her in your thoughts and pray for good news, comfort, and healing.
​We will keep everyone updated as we learn more. Thank you all for always surrounding our sweet residents with so much love. ❤️🙏
