CJ needs your help!

At 9 years old, this precious Border Terrier/Lhasa Apso mix found himself in a busy local shelter, facing a frightening and potentially life-threatening medical crisis. His diabetes was uncontrolled, and his ketone levels were dangerously high. He needed urgent medical care, and there was no time to waste.

Thankfully, Pets with Disabilities stepped up to save him.

He went directly from the shelter to the emergency room, where he has now been hospitalized for three days. As of right now, he will need to spend at least one more night there, receiving the intensive veterinary care he desperately needs to get this condition under control.

But while he is fighting for his life, the medical bills continue to grow.

We need your help to give this sweet boy the chance he deserves.

Uncontrolled diabetes and elevated ketones can lead to a life-threatening condition, but with appropriate treatment and ongoing management, diabetes can be treatable. This little guy deserves the opportunity to get through this crisis, stabilize, and discover that life still has so much love left to offer him.

He is, fighting his way through another day, with Pets with Disabilities standing beside him and hoping that compassionate people will stand with us, too.

Will you please consider making a donation toward his extensive emergency medical care & continued diabetes management?

No donation is too small. Every dollar helps us meet the cost of his hospitalization, treatment, and the continued care he needs. If you cannot donate, sharing his story could help us reach someone who can.

Thank you for your support!

A Sad Goodbye to Pebbles

Wednesday evening, we unexpectedly had to say goodbye to Pebbles.

When we rescued Pebbles from the shelter, we knew she had several health issues related to poor breeding. Sadly, last night, those issues caught up with her. She suffered a prolonged seizure and was unable to come out of it. It was heartbreaking to watch her struggle in that condition.

During her time with us, we were able to provide Pebbles with extensive medical care, a safe haven, and, most importantly, love and compassion. She was a sweet girl who deserved so much more than the difficult hand life had dealt her. We are so sorry we couldn’t fix you.

Our team did everything we could to keep Pebbles comfortable, safe, and cared for. Although her time with us was far too short, she knew she was loved and safe.

Our hearts ache for this sweet girl and all she endured. Pebbles will not be forgotten. She will always hold a special place in our hearts. Rest peacefully, sweet Pebbles.

Meet Kodiak! Sweet senior in search of companionship!

Breed: Akita
Age: 10 years old
S*x: Neutered Male
Size: 88.4 pounds
Different Ability: Koda is blind & hearing impaired
Housetrained: Yes!
Crate trained: Koda does not require a crate
Good with: Other dogs, seems to love all people he meets!
Children: Koda seems unbothered by people of all sizes.
Cats: Yes!
Our handsome blind & hearing impaired Akita, Kodiak (AKA Koda) has totally recovered from his surgery and is doing great for an older gentleman. He is purely the definition of a “good boy,” and we are grateful Koda got a second chance here at PWD.

Since his health has improved, Koda's true personality has surfaced. He is now more confident, affectionate, and comfortable. He is ready to find his perfect retirement home. His ideal home would include a big, comfy bed, plenty of belly rubs, and a family that appreciates the quiet companionship only a senior dog can offer.

Koda is house-trained, walks great on a leash, and gets along wonderfully with dogs, cats, and all people. Although he is both blind & hearing impaired, he navigates his surroundings well and would quickly learn the layout of his home. He is incredibly smart and there have been no signs of behavioral issues from him. In fact, we have never even heard him bark! We would have 20 Kodas here at PWD if we could. And, although we love having him around, Koda is looking for a peaceful home where he can enjoy his golden years surrounded by love.

If interested in Koda, please fill out our adoption application which can be found in the comments.

📣Stewie needs your help finding him the perfect place to call home!

Breed: Chihuahua/Jack Russell Terrier Mix
Age: 1.5 years old
S*x: Neutered Male
Size: 20 pounds- A great size!
Different Ability: Healed Right Front Leg
Housetrained: Yes
Crate trained: Yes, but prefers to be out!
Good with: Other dogs, cats (will chase to play!)
Children: 10 years old and over would be best
Location: Prince Frederick, Maryland

Stewie came to us from a partner shelter in North Carolina, where he found himself an injured stray at a hair salon. The shelter then contacted us for help due to his injured leg. He has been seen a few times by our orthopedic veterinarian and is considered fully healed now. You almost wouldn't even know there was ever a broken leg! The benefits of being young!

Stewie is fortunate to be in one of our experienced foster homes, this is what she had to say:

"Stewie is a comical playful guy. He loves playing with other dogs, especially when he can run and get his zoomies out! He is learning to love walks through the neighborhood and enjoys the new sights and smells on his excursions. He is smart and is learning a few commands like "sit" and "stay." He is also making great progress with housetraining- He will now go to the door when he has to go out. True to the terrier & chihuahua breed, he is a loyal pup and will follow you wherever you go. He is going to make a great companion."

If you think Stewie would be a good addition to your home, please fill out our dog adoption application (found in the comments below).

Please share far and wide to help find Stewie his perfect match.

Thank you!
