We have a celebrity to announce. Previously adopted from us is Applesauce !
She and the little lady in the video shared the same heart challenge before they both were able to receive the life saving surgery to repair their hearts. We are so proud of Applesauce and the joy she has brought to this family makes what we do well worth it. Enjoy the video and brace yourself it’s heart filled 💗
If you would like to donate to our rescue efforts or share this story we would love to be able to help more dogs like Applesauce 🍎 🐶🥰

Sad update 💔
Trooper came to the vet with me today so that we could continue his supportive care. He wasn’t wanting to eat so we tube fed him this morning. This afternoon her had a little seizure. Then after his 2nd tube feeding he had spit up a little. The a couple hours later he had another seizure but this time it was bigger. We elected to end his suffer and had to make the hard decision to humanely euthanize him. I was able to hold him wrapped in his soft blanket as he passed away in my arms. I will never forget him and he tried so hard to be ok but his little body just couldn’t 💔😢
I am beyond devastated but I am comforted in knowing that he wasn’t alone, I was watching him on camera almost 24/7, he had a great foster mom who loved him like he was her own, and he had a warm place to be with his foster brothers and sister.
He will be missed and never forgotten💕😢💔🐶

Had to tube feed a trooper this morning he isn’t wanting to eat 💔

11/01/2023

Things can sure happen fast……
Trooper went to the vet today…. We tried to splint his little hind leg but his foster mom quickly decided for him that he didn’t need a splint. We gave some more antibiotics and some sub q fluids to hydrate him.
He also wasn’t as pepy today. I was able to get him to eat a little bit of gruel about 5:15pm but haven’t been able to get him to eat since, gruel or from mom 😢
Hoping that since it was the first time I tried to give him gruel that his little tummy may be a little upset trying to process the different diet.
I just don’t know if this little guy is going to be able to pull through this. My heart is breaking for him. However I do know that if he doesn’t make it through this he was very much lived and he had a great foster mom that treated him like her very own 💕

10/30/2023

In other news here at the rescue. Momma and babies are doing great
We are waiting for their little eyes to open 💕🐶

10/30/2023

Trooper is still doing good eating with his foster momma but we are unsure if he can go on in his condition. He is unable to walk even with the three feet he has left 💔😢I’m so sad for him.
This isn’t fair 💔
He will be going to the vet sometime tomorrow to get reevaluated.
Rescue is so emotional draining at times 😢

10/28/2023

We are getting worried about Trooper.
One of his little feet has fallen off and he isn’t toddling around as we would expect. 😢
He is still In good spirits but I’m not sure that is going to be enough to save him. Back tot he vet on Monday for a recheck 💕🐶
He is so darn cute 🥰

Trooper ❤️😢
I just want him to be ok 🐶

10/25/2023

Little Trooper had a recheck appointment today at the vet and the news was a bit concerning 😢
He is eating great, the momma labradoodle is taking great care of him. He is thriving and growing now weighing in at 1lb 10oz. However he is loosing one of his back paws and we are unsure about the other two wounded paws still. If he looses the work at one ( which he is in the process of) he will need the other 3 to be ok if he will be able to go on to live a normal life. I’m really hoping he can pull through this. 💕🐶
Only time will tell where we go from here ❤️
Please keep him in your thoughts.

Trooper may have to be renamed potato or turtle!
He keeps getting stuck in his back and he wants to sleep this way which is a big NoNo for stubbed nose dogs 🐶🐾💕

10/21/2023

We had a very late night last night as we helped momma welcome 3 new additions. This litter came with a twist and it will be her last time being a mommy. She has done very well and Trooper is even getting in on the action 🥰🐶

Little Trooper is doing good with his bottle

I loved you your whole life, I'll miss you for the rest of mine 💔

10/20/2023

Feeling very hopeful 💕🐶
Little man, I think we may call him Trooper ❤️
Just had a big feed, he was one hungry boy and drank from the bottle pretty well.
Hoping he is still doing this good in the morning. 🐾

10/20/2023

Update on little man. He seems to be resting comfortably. We did get him to eat a little bit of formula. We will try again here shortly.

10/19/2023

We got a call today…….
3 week old puppy that has had a major injury. It is unclear how this can happen to someone so tiny😢
We have taken him to the vet and started treatment. At this time it is unclear how and if he will be able to recover, but one thing is for sure he will be getting lots of snuggles and care while here with us❤️🐶
It is these cases that just totally break your heart and keep us going. It’s cases like these that we need your support so that we can offer the very best for them.
