UPDATE - SEPTEMBER 1, 2026 ON CHUBBY; THE VET IS KEEPING 8 MONTH OLD CHUBS UNTIL THURSDAY OR FRIDAY DUE TO HIS SECOND SURGERY AND RECOVERY TIME. THIS WAS AN UNANTICIPATED ADDITIONAL EXPENSE, SO IF YOU CAN HELP BY DONATING EVEN A FEW DOLLARS, IT ADDS UP. If you are unable to donate, please share this post. If good intentions covered the Vet bills, we would be caught up, but they don't, so we ask for donations and deeply appreciate your support. We are a 501(c)3, so your contribution is tax-deductible (check with your accountant for more information on tax-deductible contributions).

UPDATE ON CHUBS - HE WENT BACK UNDER ANESTHESIA TODAY (AUGUST 31, 2026) TO REPAIR TORN INTERNAL STITCHES CAUSING BLEEDING. WHEN HE IS RELEASED FROM THE VET A COMFY PLACE TO RECUPERATE WOULD BE HELPFUL SO HE DOES NOT HAVE TO ENDURE ADDITIONAL PROCEDURES IN THE FUTURE. MESSAGE IF YOU CAN FOSTER AND HAVE A QUIET PLACE WHERE HE CAN REST FOR A FEW DAYS TO ALLOW HIM TO MEND.

🚨 URGENT MEDICAL FOSTER NEEDED FOR CHUBS — AT LEAST 8 DAYS 🚨

Chubs urgently needs a quiet, safe indoor foster home where he can rest and be closely monitored for at least the next eight days.

He was doing wonderfully after having his back leg amputated. Unfortunately, on Friday he became lethargic, and when he stood up to go outside to potty, his incision broke open. He was taken back to the veterinarian, where the incision was stapled, and he remained there Friday night.

Late last night, we received a picture showing that he was bleeding again. We were also told that he seemed lethargic and haggard—not like his normal self. He has worn his cone continuously since Friday, so this does not appear to have happened because he was licking or chewing the incision.

Chubs is returning to the veterinarian this morning. At this point, we do not know whether he will need to be sedated again, whether the incision will need additional repair, or whether the veterinarian will find another cause for the bleeding.

Once he is released, Chubs desperately needs a calm medical foster who can:

🐾 Keep him indoors in a clean, quiet area
🐾 Strictly limit his activity
🐾 Keep his cone on at all times
🐾 Monitor his incision closely
🐾 Give medications as directed
🐾 Immediately report any bleeding or change in his condition

Friends Furever Animal Rescue will provide his supplies, medications, veterinary care, and support. We need someone dependable who can give this sweet eight-month-old boy the careful recovery time he deserves.

If you can foster Chubs for at least eight days, please contact us immediately or complete our foster application:

Once again, we are incredibly grateful ❤️ to Stella's Shelter Fund for supporting our ongoing veterinary expenses🐾. If you’re not familiar with them, they were founded by two Idaho girls to provide much-needed, dedicated funding for Idaho shelters and rescues. Their support can make lifesaving treatment, critical supplies, and ongoing care possible for animals of all kinds in both shelters and rescues. If you haven’t donated yet, please consider doing so!

🐾💕 BONDED PAIR SEEKING A SOFT PLACE TO LAND: MEET FRANKIE & DIXIE 💕🐾

Life hasn’t been easy lately for this sweet dachshund duo, but you’d never know it — they’re still all kisses and wagging tails!

Frankie and Dixie are a bonded pair, around 7-8 years old, who came back into our care through no fault of their own — their previous owner’s health made it impossible to keep caring for them properly. Now they just need a soft place to land, together. 💔➡️❤️

Meet the pair:
🐶 Frankie (male) — gentle, loving, and just wants to be near his people
🐶 Dixie (female, the smaller of the two) — a little more reserved at first with new dogs, but warms up fast and is just as sweet

What makes them special:
🐾 They will lick you to death before they’d ever hurt a fly
🐾 Great with kids
🐾 Great with cats
🐾 Good with other dogs — tested and approved by a whole household of pups!
🐾 A little skittish around raised voices, but they bounce back quickly with patience and a calm home
🐾 Bonded pair — we’re hoping to keep them together ❤️

Frankie and Dixie are looking for a foster or forever home where they can heal, feel safe, and be loved the way they deserve.

We know everyone gets tired of seeing donation requests—and trust us, we get tired of writing them! If good intentions paid veterinary bills, we would be fully funded. 🐾

Unlike municipal shelters, rescues generally receive no city or county budget, have no paid staff, and often have no facility. We are volunteers relying on donated time, foster homes, supplies, and funds. When we accept an animal, we also accept every expense—even medical needs we could not have predicted.

This year alone, we have faced several especially high veterinary bills that we are still working to pay:

🐾 Delta Dawn developed pneumonia and suffered complications following her C-section and the delivery of her puppies. Two of her pups are still waiting for adopters.

🐾 Frizz required multiple surgeries of a rather sensitive nature—we’ll spare him the embarrassment and leave it at that!

🐾 Chubs recently underwent surgery to amputate his injured back leg and is now beginning his recovery.

🐾 We also worked with the Jerome Animal Shelter to help Daisy and her litter of puppies. With the community’s generous support, Daisy received the veterinary care she needed.

These unexpected medical needs are in addition to our regular expenses: spaying and neutering every animal we take in, providing vaccinations and microchips, helping a limited number of community animals with spay and neuter services, and offering free vaccinations and low-cost microchips to local pet owners.

That is why we must ask for help with nearly every animal that comes through our metaphorical door. Your donations provide food, shelter, veterinary care, and a safe place for animals who are lost, abandoned, injured, surrendered, or grieving the people and homes they once knew.

Friends Furever Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, so eligible donations are tax-deductible. We could not continue without our incredible donors, fosters, volunteers, shelters, and rescue partners.

Your support is the rock holding these vulnerable animals up—and keeping us able to answer when the next one needs help. Thank you! ❤️
