Two precious bottle baby kittens, one orange and one black, are in critical need of rescue today.

These bright, alert, and very active week-old babies arrived at a local partner shelter after losing their mother. Without overnight care available at the shelter, these fragile little ones are at immediate risk and need a rescue tag by 4:00pm today to survive.

Their tiny lives depend on a compassionate foster stepping up right now to provide round-the-clock bottle feeding and care. We can bring them into our care if we have a foster step up.

If you’re already an experienced bottle baby foster, please text (409)797-6248 immediately.

If you’re not yet a foster but feel called to help save these lives, you can apply at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/foster/LLGC/Cat. Time is running out, these kittens need you today.

UPDATE: FOSTERS FOUND

PLEASE SHARE!

FOSTER NEEDED!

Four precious 7-day-old Pit Bull mix bottle babies urgently need foster care through Lifeline of Galveston County. These tiny males, one black, one chocolate, and two brown brindles, arrived at Galveston County Animal Resource Center in Texas City needing immediate bottle feeding and round-the-clock care. Sadly, their mother is in quarantine and showing aggression, making her outcome uncertain unless rescue intervention occurs. Of the original six puppies, two passed away this past weekend, making it even more critical that these four little ones find experienced foster homes right away.

Bottle baby fostering requires dedication and experience, but the reward of nurturing these vulnerable pups from their earliest days is immeasurable. If you’re an experienced foster with the capacity to provide specialized newborn puppy care, including frequent feedings and temperature monitoring, these babies desperately need you. If you’re not yet a foster but want to help save these lives, you can apply at

https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/foster/LLGC/Dog.

Current fosters should text (409)797-6248 to discuss taking on this critical rescue mission.

Do you want to form an alliance with Clyde??

He’d really love to spend a night or two outside the shelter!

Clyde is available for adoption locally or out of state, but we’d love to get him on a sleepover so we can learn even more about him and what he’s like in a home.

So far, we know he does well with other dogs, is crate trained, has medium energy, and is still working on his commands. Which means he’s the perfect candidate for someone who wants to spend a little time teaching him some cool tricks, going on an adventure, or just letting him enjoy a little Labor Day fun.

A sleepover can be one night or up to three nights, and you don’t have to be considering adoption to help!

If you can give Clyde a little getaway this weekend, text us at 409-797-6248. Our team would be so grateful, and we think Clyde would be even more grateful. ❤️

In case you missed it… meet Casper! 🥹❤️

This tiny Chihuahua arrived at Lifeline this week in pretty rough shape, but it didn’t take long for him to show us what a sweet little guy he is.

Casper is being treated for intestinal parasites and tested positive for heartworms. The good news? Heartworm-positive dogs receive 100% of their treatment through Lifeline, so heartworms should never be a reason to pass up a dog who could be your perfect match.

Since arriving, Casper has been the sweetest little guest. He waits to go outside to potty, loves being around people, and has already been happily held by just about everyone on our staff.

He also has a serious appreciation for blankets. 😂 This little Chihuahua gets cold easily, so we’ve made sure he has a cozy bed and plenty of blankets while he waits for his forever person.

Swipe through to see a little more of Casper being Casper. ❤️

He’s ready for a home of his own. Could that be with you?

Meet Casper! 🐾

This little Chihuahua arrived this week in pretty rough shape, but he’s already showing us what a sweet little guy he is.

Casper came in with intestinal parasites, which we’ve already started treating, and he also tested positive for heartworms. If that makes you hesitate about adopting him, we want you to know that Lifeline covers 100% of heartworm treatment for dogs who test positive while in our care. Heartworms should never be the reason you pass up a dog who has stolen your heart.

And Casper is READY to steal yours. ❤️

He has been the best little guest since arriving and has already shown us that he’s very potty trained. When we take him outside, he waits to do his business on his walks like a perfect gentleman.

More than anything, Casper loves people. He has already been held by just about everyone on our staff, and he is more than happy to soak up all the attention.

And because he’s a Chihuahua, he’s also a big fan of blankets. 😂 He has a cozy bed and plenty of blankets to keep him warm while he waits for his forever person.

Casper is ready to find his home. Could it be yours?

• Saturday, September 19 | 10AM–12PM | 3 volunteers needed

Take a dog on a Dog Day Out. Help Lifeline win $1,000!

Tractor Supply’s Dog Day Out Challenge is here, and one fun afternoon with a Lifeline dog could help us bring home a $1,000 Tractor Supply gift card!

Here’s how it works:

🐶 Take one of our adoptable dogs on a Dog Day Out
📸 Capture the adventure and share their story
🏆 Your outing could help Lifeline become one of the top five shelters/rescues selected by public vote

The top five winners will each receive $1,000, and ten finalists will each receive a $50 Tractor Supply gift card!

But the real win? Your dog gets a break from the shelter, gets to experience the world outside their kennel, and we get to learn more about who they are in a home and out in the community.

Want to take a dog out?

Visit www.lifelinetx.org/outings to learn how to participate.

Let’s give a shelter dog their best day out and help Lifeline win $1,000 while we’re at it! 🐶

If you’re not local to us, be sure to check a local rescue or shelter near you!

Thank you ’s Foster Fam for taking Gunner out and for introducing us to this wonderful Tractor Supply Challenge!

Tanner has zoomies?! 🥹

If you’ve been following Tanner, you know this little guy is usually pretty quiet and sleepy. So when his foster sent us this video after his bath, we had to share it. This is the most we’ve ever seen Tanner move!

And yes, immediately afterward, he took a several-hour nap. 😂

Tanner is slowly coming out of his shell. He’s still a very quiet senior who sleeps a lot, but when he’s awake, he likes to follow his person from room to room and stay nearby. He enjoys quiet pets, absolutely LOVES being brushed, and has the sweetest habit of putting his cheek back against his foster’s face for more kisses.

We also want to be honest about what life with Tanner looks like. He is not currently housebroken and wears a belly band when he isn’t being watched. He can also seem a little confused or “lost” at times, and he didn’t show much interest in interacting with other senior dogs while staying with a foster.

Tanner isn’t going to be the dog who runs around the house all day. He’s a quiet little guy who seems happiest with a calm routine, a soft place to sleep, and someone who doesn’t mind giving him plenty of love and patience.

He may have a few quirks, but he has so much love to give. ❤️

Tanner is still looking for his forever home.

❤️ An unexpected update about David.

On Sunday, David was rushed to the hospital struggling to breathe. Initial imaging suggested a severe congenital heart defect, and surgery was recommended. We asked for your help raising approximately $5,000 for his care.

You raised that $5,000 in less than two days. We are incredibly grateful.

But yesterday’s advanced imaging brought an unexpected turn. The heart defect originally suspected was not confirmed. Instead, specialists found several abnormalities involving his heart, rhythm, and the area surrounding his heart and diaphragm. Right now, they do not have a clear diagnosis.

Because of that, the surgery we originally planned is no longer considered safe or appropriate. David will remain hospitalized through the end of the week while he receives supportive care, additional diagnostics, and hopefully an evaluation with a veterinary cardiologist.

The good news? David is eating, responding to supportive care, and his veterinary team still believes there is a path forward to pursue.

The funds you raised will now help cover his extended hospitalization, oxygen, diagnostics, cardiology referral, and whatever treatment comes next.

We wish we had clearer answers today. But David is still here, and you gave him the chance to get to this point.

Thank you to everyone who donated, shared, prayed, and cheered this tiny kitten on. ❤️

Want to stay up to date on David’s case? Join our email list for updates:

We’ll continue to share what we learn as we work to get David the answers and care he needs.
