✨Three dogs, three journeys, one day in rescue.
Today was a busy day with our extraordinary veterinary partners for three of our rescue dogs - Hunny Bear, Charlie, and Biggie. Each of them carries a story of neglect and we are doing our best to fix them.
🍯 Hunny Bear
This sweet girl has been through so much, but she’s blossoming - gaining weight, growing back her fur and showing us just how resilient she truly is. Sadly, her mammary tumors are growing quickly. Now that she’s strong enough for surgery, the next step is chest x-rays to ensure the cancer hasn’t spread before we consider putting her through a major operation. Best case would be her lungs are clear, she’s cleared for surgery and she gets a second chance at the life she was always meant to have - spoiled, loved, and safe. Worst case it’s a cancer that has spread. Please send all your good thoughts to this girl. She’s spent so long neglected, we want so badly to give her the best years of her life.
🥔 Charlie
Charlie, our little potato, has stolen hearts left and right. He’s gained 10 pounds since coming to the rescue and is finally starting to show that he’s healing. His skin infection still needs extended antibiotics and he began an additional treatment for chronic diarrhea today. The vet believes he’s about 7–8 years old and has likely suffered untreated ear infections his entire life. His elbows are rough with thick callouses from years spent lying on concrete, yet he wags his tail the moment his foster mom speaks. To think of all he’s endured makes us ache and to see the unconditional love he still shows for humans is yet another reminder of why we do this work for them.
😎 Biggie
Biggie was in for a recheck of the corneal tear we’ve been treating for the last week and the good news is - it’s healing well! He’ll stay on eye drops a little longer, but his progress is great. This big boy is proof of how resilient these dogs can be when given the care they deserve. He’s been such a good boy for all his eye drops, we are so proud of him.
💛 A special thank you
We are endlessly grateful to our fosters who open their homes and hearts to dogs with extra medical needs. Your dedication - the rides to appointments, all the meds, extra baths, the daily care, the love you pour in, makes all the difference. These souls are now thriving because of you and we couldn’t be more thankful. You have changed their whole world.
Thank you to our awesome veterinary partners at Faithful Friends Animal Society and Middletown Veterinary Hospital for all they do for our dogs, the excellent care they give and for always fitting our pups in when they need it.
