When Digby arrived at our rescue, he was barely hanging on—his pelvis shattered in multiple places, bone fragments dangerously pressing against his spine and colon. He was in agonizing pain, but thanks to the support of this grant, we were able to rush him into emergency surgery and provide the intensive care he needed to survive. Digby spent days hospitalized, weeks on crate rest, and months receiving follow-up X-rays, pain management, and cold laser therapy to promote healing. Despite it all, this tiny Rat Terrier mix never gave up. Today, Digby is fully recovered, bounding happily through his foster home with other dogs and cats, and waiting patiently for his forever family. His journey from near-death to joyful recovery is a testament to the power of second chances—and the life-saving impact of your generosity.

Willow was just a young puppy when she found herself on the shelter euthanasia list due to severe health concerns. She was lethargic, weak, and struggling to breathe—so we rushed her to the vet, where she was hospitalized in intensive care for four days. She underwent extensive diagnostics, IV fluids, and palliative care. Though she initially showed signs of both parvo and distemper, further testing revealed a complicated mix of infections—including Parainfluenza, Coronavirus, Mycoplasma, Adenovirus-2, and a rare, antibiotic-resistant strain of Bordetella. Treatment options were limited and risky for such a young dog, but Willow had a spark in her, and we weren’t ready to give up. Because of this grant, we were able to provide the intensive, lifesaving care she needed. Today, Willow has made a full recovery and is living her best life in a loving forever home. She is a shining example of why every life is worth fighting for—and why your support matters so deeply.
