🐾 Ziggy 2
Approx. 1.5 years old | Chocolate Lab Mix
Ziggy 2 is a happy, outgoing young boy who absolutely loves life despite everything he has been through.
He was picked up as a stray by Dallas Animal Services and, due to his severe medical condition, was placed on the euthanasia list. Thankfully, he was saved in November 2024.
According to two separate veterinarians, Ziggy’s condition was most likely caused by human intervention during a traumatic birth. His hind legs were left completely straight with no ability to bend at the knees or hocks, and his spine was twisted in the lumbar region.
After extensive veterinary consultation, it was determined that partial amputation would give Ziggy the best quality of life. His surgeries began on December 2, 2024, followed by months of rehabilitation and hospice care at the vet until March 4, 2025.
Ziggy is not incontinent, but he is not house-trained.
He does well in his wheelchair and is a joyful, resilient dog who deserves a chance at a real home.

🐾 Spencer
Approx. 4–5 years old | Staffordshire Mix
Spencer is a gentle, shy soul who warms up with kindness and affection.
In November 2024, Spencer was shot and, despite his injuries, dragged himself down the road in Arkansas until someone finally helped him. He was brought to rescuers by Good Samaritans who refused to leave him behind.
Spencer is incontinent due to a gunshot injury to his spinal cord, and the bullet remains lodged between two ribs. He was evaluated by multiple veterinarians, including Texas A&M, where surgery was ultimately deemed not possible.
Since then, Spencer has been receiving hospice-style care. He is stable, comfortable, and deserves dignity, safety, and love after surviving unimaginable cruelty.
