Meet Dora, our hospice foster. She was set for euthanasia in a rural shelter. Instead, she got a life.
When we first learned about this senior girl, she was sitting on a euthanasia list in rural Kentucky. She was covered in mange. She had open, painful wounds. And she was so weak that she couldn’t even walk. To the shelter, she was a dog with overwhelming needs. To us, she was a dog who deserved the chance to heal. We took her in and began her journey of healing. Vets estimated she had 4-6 months of life left, so we decided to put her into a hospice foster home. We knew that her future might be short—but determined that whatever time she had left would be filled with comfort, love, safety, and dignity.
And then something incredible happened.
She healed. That was almost 2.5 years ago. Her wounds closed. Her coat came back. Her strength returned. And the senior girl who once couldn’t walk is now thriving. 🥹❤️
She gets to wake up every day knowing she is safe. She gets soft beds, full meals, gentle hands, and a family who loves her exactly as she is.
This is why we rescue.
But stories like hers don’t happen without people willing to stand behind the work. Right now, our rescue is in a desperate place financially. The medical care, medications, food, supplies, transportation, and everyday expenses that make these transformations possible add up quickly. And every dog who comes through our doors needs us to be able to say, “Yes. We can help.”
We don't want finances to be the reason we have to say no to the next dog on a euthanasia list.
If you believe senior dogs deserve a chance…�If you believe the broken, sick, forgotten dogs are worth saving…�If you want to help us keep saying YES…
Please consider donating today. Every $5, $25, or $100 helps us continue this work and gives another dog a chance at the kind of ending she got.
She was supposed to be a statistic.
Instead, she became a thriving senior girl.
Help us save the next one. ❤️
