In Memory of Our Beloved Peanut 💔🐾
Our rescue is heartbroken today as we lost one of the tiniest puppies from Zara’s litter.
Zara came to our rescue very pregnant. Within a week of being taken into our care and placed immediately into a foster home, she gave birth to eight beautiful puppies—three boys and five girls.
Peanut was the very last one born. Thanks to our amazing foster, who immediately worked to revive her, Peanut survived. From that moment on, she was always a little fighter.
We were so fortunate to have two incredible fosters working together to care for these eight puppies. Caring for a litter this size is no easy task. Zara was a wonderful mama, but she was only a year old herself and still just a puppy.
After a few weeks, our fosters noticed that Peanut was much smaller than her littermates. We decided not to post her for adoption because we wanted to give her time to gain weight and make sure she was healthy before finding her forever home.
Because of her small size, our fosters took her to the veterinarian for bloodwork. Sadly, her liver numbers were extremely high, raising concern for a possible liver shunt. Because there are different types of shunts, an ultrasound was needed to determine if she had a portosystemic shunt.
We were in the process of getting that ultrasound scheduled when we received the heartbreaking news this morning that Peanut had passed away.
Our hearts are absolutely broken. 💔
Peanut may have been tiny, but she was a fighter from the very beginning. She was loved, cared for, and surrounded by people who were determined to give her every chance.
This is what our rescue is about. We are 100% a volunteer organization and all your donations go towards helping other dogs in need. We will do everything we can to save even the ones others might have given up on. Every life matters, no matter how small.
Your support helps us provide veterinary care, save vulnerable animals, and pull other dogs to safety. Sometimes, despite everything we do, we lose them. But we will never stop trying.
Forrest is another example of why we keep fighting. Because of this rescue, we were able to help this happy boy live his best life. Who knows what would have happened to him if we had walked away?
Peanut, you were here for far too short a time, but you were deeply loved.
Run free, sweet Peanut. 🌈🐾
You will never be forgotten. ❤️
