“Why animal rescue?” We get asked that sometimes. This right here. This is why.
Our rescue partner (Rescue of the Collection), OPARI, recently shared an update about Doris, a puppy who was adopted into a loving home just days ago. When an unexpected medical emergency left her unable to see, OPARI stepped up to make sure she received the emergency care she needed.
Because rescue doesn’t end when an animal leaves the shelter or finds a home. Sometimes, it means showing up when the unexpected happens. It means being there when an animal needs help, even when the road gets difficult.
And that is exactly why we do what we do. 🐾
When you purchase a candle from Wicks Fur Change, you’re helping us do more for animals like Doris. At the end of every collection, we donate 20% of our profits to our featured rescue partner.
Why are we always talking about selling out a collection?
Because the more we sell, the greater the impact we can make. ❤️
Many of the rescues we partner with are nonprofit organizations that depend on donations, volunteers, and foster families to keep going. Medical emergencies, unexpected injuries, food, supplies, and everyday care all add up. Every dollar matters.
Before Nash officially became part of our family, we spent a lot of time volunteering and fostering dogs. Rescue has been part of our lives long before Wicks Fur Change existed. Our business is one way we can continue to give back, and we have no intention of stopping.
So when we ask you to shop small, support local, share our posts, or tell a friend about our candles, this is what you’re helping us work toward.
You’re helping us grow a small business with a purpose. You’re helping us support the organizations doing the hard work every day. And together, we can help them continue showing up for dogs like Doris.
If you would like to donate directly toward Doris’s care, OPARI’s donation links are available in their original post. Please consider sharing their update, too. Every bit of support helps.
And if you’re looking for a fall candle—or know someone who is—we would be so grateful if you considered Wicks Fur Change. 🍂🕯️ We ship to all 50 states, and every order helps us continue this mission.
Thank you for being part of our village. For choosing to shop small. For sharing our story. For believing that something as simple as lighting a candle can help make a difference.
Because without you, we couldn’t do this.
And because of you, we get to keep trying to make a difference in rescue, one candle at a time. ❤️🐾
💔 Help Needed for Doris 💔
Our sweet girl, Doris, has already had her share of ups and downs.
After finding herself in rescue, Doris recently made a trip to the ER for a suspected insect bite that caused significant swelling. Thankfully, she pulled through, and we truly believed brighter days were ahead for our girl.
This past weekend, Doris was adopted by a wonderful family who were excited to begin their next chapter together with their new puppy. It felt like the happy ending she deserved.
But this morning, everything changed.
Doris woke up with a haze covering her eyes and is currently unable to see. She is on her way to UW now for emergency evaluation, and at this time, her prognosis remains unknown.
As always, Our Pack will be there for Doris every step of the way. We will be covering the costs of her visit and doing everything we can to ensure she receives the care she needs.
If you would like to help support Doris during this unexpected medical emergency, we would be incredibly grateful. Every donation, share, and positive thought helps us continue providing care for dogs like Doris when they need it most.
Please keep our sweet girl in your thoughts as we wait for answers and hope for the very best. ❤️🐾
