It happened in an instant. Sweet 2-year-old Lily accidentally ran through hot oil on the stove, suffering severe second and third-degree burns to all four paws, her legs, and tummy.

For weeks, her family brought her back to the veterinarian every other day for wound care, bandage changes, medication soaks, and pain management. They did everything they could to get their girl the care she needed, but as Lily’s treatment continued, the veterinary bills became more than they could manage alone.

That’s when they turned to FACE. 💛

Through every appointment and bandage change, Lily’s sweet spirit has remained. She still gives kisses, asks for cuddles, chats with her family, and snuggles with her big brother, Patrick.

Her family has carried Lily this far. Now, we can help carry her the rest of the way.

Your gift can help Lily continue receiving the care she needs until the pain and bandages are finally behind her.

🐾❤️‍🩹 A second chance for Wave. A lasting impact because of Lana Hock and the Baird Foundation 💛

At just six months old, Wave faced a frightening medical emergency when a recurring re**al prolapse required lifesaving surgery. After already exhausting their financial resources to get him the care he needed, his family was devastated to learn he would need a second procedure they simply couldn’t afford.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of Lana Hock and the Baird Foundation, FACE was able to provide a life-saving pledge, giving Wave the opportunity to receive the urgent colopexy surgery he needed.

Today, we’re thrilled to share that Wave is recovering beautifully. His family recently shared this wonderful update:

“Wave is doing great! He’s eating normally, feeling much better, and getting back to his old self. We’re so happy with how he’s doing, and he has a recheck scheduled next week to make sure he continues to recover well.” ❤️🏡

Lana’s generous Fund a Need gift, matched by the Baird Foundation, is helping pets like Wave receive critical emergency veterinary care when their families need it most.

FACE Executive Director Kerstin Lynam was honored to accept Lana’s generous gift alongside Lana and her beloved rescue, Sasha (Baja) Banks ✨ a seven-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier with a heart as big as her smile and a love for Wag N' Purr Shop 💛 Resale Boutique accessories.

Lana, thank you for believing that every pet deserves a chance to heal. Your compassion is giving families hope during some of their most difficult moments and making happy endings like Wave’s possible.

Together, we’re saving pets and helping families. 💛🐾

Two months. 💔

That’s all the time Turtle and his owner had together before everything changed.

Instead of spending their first months chasing tennis balls, learning new tricks, and making happy memories, they’ve spent them in veterinary hospitals, through surgeries, splints, and countless appointments.

Now, this sweet 7-month-old puppy needs a critical carpal fusion to give him the chance to walk, run, and play again.

His owner has done everything possible to help him heal, but after months of overwhelming veterinary expenses, they can’t do it alone.

Every gift helps give Turtle something every puppy deserves:
🐾 A chance to run.
🎾 A chance to play.
💛 A chance at the puppyhood he never got.

Please help us give Turtle the future he’s been waiting for.

💛 Behind every great partnership is someone who makes it all happen.

Today, we want to recognize Karly, our incredible ambassador connecting FACE Foundation | Saving Pets 💛 Helping Families and Reunited Luxury 💕

Karly has been instrumental in building a partnership rooted in compassion, generosity, and a shared commitment to helping pets in need. Through her dedication, she’s helped bring together two organizations that believe every pet deserves access to life-saving emergency veterinary care.

We’re also incredibly grateful to Reunited Luxury for their continued support of FACE. Partnerships like this help us provide critical funding for families facing unexpected veterinary emergencies, keeping pets with the people who love them most.

And of course, we couldn’t leave out RL’s adorable companions, who proudly sport their FACE bandanas and serve as sweet reminders of why this mission matters. 🧡🐱🐶

Karly, thank you for your passion, your advocacy, and for being such an important part of the FACE family. We are so grateful for everything you do and look forward to saving even more lives together.
