Rescue Partner Spotlight: Misfit Mutts 🐾

TEAM Bradshaw is proud to recognize Misfit Mutts as a valued rescue partner supporting animals from Bradshaw Animal Shelter.

Rescue partners play an important role in helping create additional pathways for shelter animals by pulling dogs into rescue, providing foster placement, medical care, rehabilitation, and ultimately helping them find permanent homes. Misfit Mutts has been a strong partner in that work, and we are grateful for their continued commitment to Bradshaw animals.

We look forward to highlighting more of the rescue organizations that work alongside Bradshaw Animal Shelter and help expand lifesaving opportunities for animals in our community.

If your rescue routinely pulls animals from Bradshaw Animal Shelter and would like to be considered for a future Rescue Partner Spotlight, please send TEAM Bradshaw a direct message.

👑 Cinderella Needs Your Help

Meet Cinderella, a 4-year-old shelter dog who has been diagnosed with bilateral cherry eye (pr*****ed third eyelid glands).

Cherry eye is a common condition in dogs that occurs when the tear gland behind the third eyelid slips out of place, creating the red, swollen tissue visible in the corner of the eye. While it isn’t usually an emergency, it can cause chronic irritation, discomfort, inflammation, and reduced tear production if left untreated.

The good news? Cherry eye is highly treatable. Early surgical repair by a veterinary ophthalmologist offers an excellent prognosis and helps preserve normal tear production and long-term eye health. Because both of Cinderella’s glands are significantly enlarged, the shelter's veterinary team has recommended that her procedure be performed by a specialist to give her the best possible outcome.

Her surgery is estimated at $3,017.08.

TEAM exists to ensure treatable medical conditions don’t become barriers to adoption. When shelter veterinarians identify animals needing specialized care beyond routine treatment, donor support allows us to step in and say “yes.”

Your donation helps fund Cinderella’s surgery—and ensures we’re ready to help the next shelter animal needing specialized medical care.

If you’d like to help Cinderella and future animals like her, please consider making a donation today.

💙 Donate here: https://linktr.ee/team_bradshaw

Every dollar helps provide the specialized medical care that gives shelter animals their best chance of being adopted.
