Our new girls - Maria & Charlotte went in for their initial vet appointment on Wednesday 💕

They both have raging bilateral ear infections and horrible dental disease, which we suspected.

Their bloodwork, urinalysis, and f***l tests came back WNL and parasite free 🙌🏻
They started their vaccinations as well.

Sweet Charlotte does have a cavie heart murmur and Miss Maria has a heart arrhythmia so they will need echocardiograms in addition to their spay/dental surgeries.

Please consider a donation towards their much needed care, if able. Huge thank you to everyone who donated previously.
Our supporters drive everything we do - truly.

Charlotte and Maria thank you very much. Their lives have changed in so many amazing ways and they are already becoming the happy little cavaliers they always should have been ❤️🐾

A longer post but worth the read - we promise 🐶

Yesterday we welcomed two very special girls to SFCR. They’ve been named Maria and Charlotte, and the terrified look on their faces have already dissipated as they settle into the many comforts of their foster homes.

It was stated to us that Maria has raised more than 7 litters of puppies.
Maria is 5 years old. 💔
They were dirty and needed baths immediately but the smell of their horribly infected mouths and ears is most overpowering.

These girls have received little to no veterinary care and this is true for nearly all commercial breeding dogs. They served one purpose, which was to produce a profit even though they were forced to pay the ultimate price.

If rescue doesn’t show up for dogs like Maria and Charlotte - that’s it for them and everything they have had to endure is 100% legal.

Reproductive abuse of dogs is legal and considered acceptable.

A month ago I didn’t know how much longer SFCR would be in existence and I still don’t know, but have decided I won’t let things go down without a real fight.

These dogs are too precious and mean so much to myself and so many of you.

Maria and Charlotte are not young puppies and will require extensive dental surgery on top of their spay surgeries, vaccinations, heartworm testing, treatment for ear infections, etc, etc.

We are looking at $1500-$2K each in vet expense. They are worth every penny and although expensive to care for, these are the dogs that need us the most and we wholeheartedly believe that.

We need our incredible village of supporters to come together now more than ever. We are hoping to raise $2K to get vetting started for these two sweethearts.

If each of our followers donated just $5, we would raise over $45K, which would create incredible change.

There is an overwhelming number of dogs just like Maria and Charlotte waiting for rescue to come for them.

Please help us continue to be there for them - we so badly want to be.

If you can’t donate at this time, please consider sharing this post. Every bit helps tremendously.

Donations via Venmo, PayPal, and check are preferred as we have to wait several weeks to receive Facebook donations.

Sweet Hank wanted me to ask all of our followers if they like his new tie? 🐾❤️

Hank has been with us since last May (almost an entire year). He arrived to us pretty miserable and in congestive heart failure. He’s on 4 different heart medications that are keeping him stable and out of CHF at this time. He goes in for regular echocardiograms to monitor things closely and is truly living his life to the fullest. 💕

We are hoping to welcome a small group of deserving dogs to SFCR this weekend - something we haven’t been able to do for months.

The only thing holding us back is funding. These dogs will come with many needs - spay/neuter surgeries, vaccinations, dentals, heartworm testing, etc. When rescuing discarded commercial breeding dogs, you never know what kind of surprises they may bring and we need to be prepared in order to responsibly welcome these sweethearts to rescue.

The pups pictured are just a select few who have been adopted through SFCR. Their lives have changed in so many huge ways because rescue said YES to them.

My challenge to each and every one of our followers is this - please consider a donation of just $5 to help us say yes this weekend. Your donation will help transform more lives - guaranteed.

This is how Harper (Ruby) started her morning and also how it ended (in the comments) 😉

Harper is a 6 year old Cavalier who came to us with undiagnosed EPI. She weighed only 9.4 pounds and was literally a sack of bones. Her poor little body was starving at the cellular level and it has taken many months to get her headed in the right direction. She’s up to 11.8 pounds and as you can see, her s***k and energy has been restored ❤️
Well, at least until her nap time 😴

Harper will require enzyme and B12 supplements lifelong. She is in stage B1 heart disease so no heart meds are needed at this time but she will need to be monitored with echocardiograms every 6 months ❤️

First, thanks to everyone for your support. We appreciate it so much!
We have been quiet as we figure out our next steps. And we always want to be honest with you.
Funds are tight. We have bills to catch up on. We have 6 forever fosters in our care that have monthly medical expenses that total around $750 a month.
We have decided to take a few months off and hopefully raise funds to get caught up, allowing us to be able to provide for our medical fosters as well.
In the next coming weeks we will be sharing our medical fosters one at a time. Telling you about them and their individual needs.
We hope to continue raising money to get us back on our feet and able to continue welcoming more pups in need.
Stay tuned and please donate if you can. We truly appreciate you!

Side Note: All of our medical foster pups are cavaliers who previously resided in commercial breeding facilities. No attention was given to their basic medical needs. All that mattered was their ability to produce adorable little puppies for the public.
These dogs are worthy of so much more and will be treated as the cherished companions they always should have been.

Thank you for helping us make sure their needs are met and that they get to live out the happiest days of their lives.

We would like to give a huge shout out and thank you to our friends at Ziggi’s Coffee - Sioux Falls, SD ❤️

They raised over $1K for us during their mid-April fundraiser.

We have had to slow down our rescue efforts drastically, but we are still caring for a handful of high medical needs dogs.

We appreciate the support from our community so very much as we work to get back on track.

THANK YOU!!! 🐾

Make sure to watch Keloland News later today to see our very own Sasha! We will be talking about the fundraiser Ziggi’s Coffee is doing for us. Huge thanks to Ziggi’s Coffee for putting on this event. It runs now until Friday!

We are extremely close to closing our doors 💔

We aren’t making it anymore and it’s a hard pill to swallow but it is the truth.

We have over $9K in veterinary bills that we need to get paid down.
We have multiple dogs in our care with many health issues who require ongoing care.

We need some help or we will be faced with some really tough decisions.

Please help if you can. We are stuck in a tough spot and we need a big push forward.
