Rocco the 7 year old French Bulldog suffered from some pretty terrible growths in his ear and mouth. He had poor teeth and allergies that affected his skin and overall well-being.

His previous owner was not able to take on all of his necessary treatments and surrendered him after neglecting some major issues. LA Animal Rescue took on Rocco and had him treated for his tumors. He required blood work, dental extractions and allergy shots to get him back to being healthy and ready for adoption.

Fetchin’ Retrievers Rescue took Mandy for emergency hospitalization and supportive care.

Pancake was rescued from a city shelter, where she would have been euthanized due to a serious eye infection. City shelters often times do not perform advanced treatments for animals because of overcrowding and must euthanize because treatments can be beyond their ability.

Pancake’s eye was swollen shut and inflamed with infection when Stray Cat Alliance took her in. They were able to conduct the life saving surgery to remove her eye. Her badly infected and previously untreated eye is what led to serious ear issues as well. Their in-house vet treated her ears multiple times.
She was able to fully recover and be fostered in preparation for her forever home.

Meet Noel who was dumped on the streets of Compton with his sister, Noelle, with severely infected, bleeding, pussing mange. The team at Starts With One Today and Paws in Skid Row could not sleep knowing they were in such pain.

They immediately drove to Compton and were able to locate these scared babies, alone on a street corner. They were huddled together, terrified, cold and starving. Noel’s appearance was absolutely shocking. This puppy at 4 months old, was skin and bones, there was not one part of his body that was not raw. The smell of infection was beyond alarming. They scooped them up immediately and rushed them to True Care for Pets in Los Angeles where they knew they would receive the absolute best care.
The doctors and staff “had never seen a case of mange this terrible.” One doctor noted “beyond gross and intolerable negligence.”
Noel was treated with a barrage of pain meds to make him comfortable, fluids, and 24-hour care. After a night’s stay in the hospital, Paws in Skid Row were able to bring this love bug home. He is getting medicated baths, eating Just Food for Dogs, playing with his sister and on the road to recovery. He is the sweetest pup, so deserving of a wonderful life.

Young Curby was tragically thrown out of a moving car and left to die. Your donations help fund emergency surgeries for cats like Curby.

Curby the 10 month old kitten was thrown out the window of a moving car on the 405 freeway into the path of oncoming traffic. These cruel individuals had no regard on an innocent animal’s life. Luckily, a Good Samaritan who saw the tragedy stopped and called Cats at the Studios for help. 
He was in bad shape and needed immediate medical attention. Cats at the Studio rushed him to the hospital where they had him x-rayed and determined that he had a fractured pelvis and a broken leg. He needed FHO surgery for his hip and a metal plate to stabilize his leg. 
Curby received the surgery and recovered nicely. His tragic beginning won’t define the life he deserves to live.

Abigail the 12-year old Chihuahua mix was found wandering in traffic by a good samaritan. She was taken to the vet to get scanned for a chip. No chip or identification was found. She wasn’t being looked for in the local area either. The Good Samaritan reached out to H.E.L.P.

HELP came in and took Abigail straight to their vet for a full senior workup (bloodwork, fecal test, x-rays, etc.). Along with very limited vision, Abby had severe dental disease and growth, was not spayed and had mammary tumors. She required a little additional elbow grease to get her to her former glory. Abigail is the sweetest, most cuddly and loving girl. She loves to be held and to snuggle in a nice warm lap.

Thankfully, she was found and treated as she had was discovered to have an infected uterus that is often times deadly if left untreated. With your donation, we were able to contribute to HELP to get the treatment Abigail needed to survive.

Atom came to the Golden Retriever Club of Greater Los Angeles Rescue as a 3 month old puppy surrendered by his owner. Bought off of Craigslist, Atom soon became ill and was diagnosed with Parvo. Most dogs do not survive the very contagious and deadly parvovirus. His owner could not afford the medical bills that it would take to save his life.

Marty from GRCGLA stepped in and made it his mission to bring Atom back to health. Parvo treatment is costly and Atom’s medical bills have increased exponentially. He has had many highs and lows in his recovery. After receiving an extensive treatment and monitoring regimen, Atom stands tall and is ready to enjoy his new beginning. Much of Atom’s success is thanks to his fighting spirit and the help of the GRCGLA.

Waldorf, the 10 year old Pomeranian was unable to walk because his hind quarters were atrophied. His rear left leg was turned inward, and his rear right leg was crumpled (like a chicken wing) and facing backward. He also suffered from dental disease due to old age and lack of care.

The Harbor Shelter’s lifesaving liaison contacted A Home for Every Living Pet Rescue about Waldorf. The shelter was unable to properly care for him as he was unable to walk, leaving him stuck sitting in his own waste. Waldorf was taken in straight to HELP’s vet for a full senior workup, blood panel, and x-rays. Because Waldorf’s left leg turned inward, amputation of the right leg was not recommended. Instead, Waldorf was referred to physical therapy to strengthen and straighten his leg to give him some mobility. He was fitted with a wheelchair to help him more easily get around and be a dog again!
Waldorf gained more and more strength everyday and was given a second chance at a foster home. HELP Rescue updated us with the most loving news! Waldorf was adopted by his foster mom who says it was love at first sight.

Senior dogs like Milky Way deserve a chance to be healthy and loved again. Your donations made that possible.

Milky Way the 12 year old poodle mix was rescued from East Valley Shelter. Being an older dog found as a stray, he has endured years of neglect. He has very little vision left and needed some help to feel more comfortable for his later years in life.

A Home for Every Living Pet rescued Milky Way with hopes this sweet dog could get another chance on life. He was taken for a full senior profile and received surgery and biopsy for a mass on his head, dental extractions, neuter and fistula repair. Milky Way recovered from his treatments looking like a brand new dog.

Milky Way is quiet and good natured. He gets along with other dogs, cats, and children. Even though his vision is impaired, he gets around just fine. Luckily his biopsy came back benign. He is up for adoption now through Home for Every Living Pet.

Reggie was brought into the vet by a shelter after he was hit by a car. Euthanasia was in Reggie’s immediate future due to his pretty severe injuries. The technicians and veterinarian were really pulling for Reggie, but realized there wasn’t much they could without a rescue taking him on.

A vet technician at the clinic and friend of Blue Man Dog, Jessica, reached out in the 11th hour as her fellow technicians were preparing Reggie with the IV for euthanasia.
Jessica pleaded and agreed to foster Reggie if Blue Man Dog would take him on. She signed off on Reggie in the parking lot outside the clinic and the euthanasia was called off.
Jessica continued to foster Reggie during his recovery from two successful surgeries and neutering. She nursed him back to full health and he was able to be adopted to his forever home!

Meet Braelyn, who was surrendered to Roadogs Rescue at just 3 weeks old. After being hospitalized for a burst abscess and blockage, she was discovered to have even more issues.
Braelyn had an extra colon, bladder and intestines. She was also born with multiple legs and double pelvic bones, thought to be a result of her absorbing a twin during development. She really was a genetic anomaly. These severe congenital issues needed immediate attention.

Braelyn was seen by two separate vet offices. One recommended euthanasia while the other recommended surgical correction. Roadogs Rescue felt Braelyn still had fight in her, so they opted for the latter. A skilled surgeon was found who agreed to do the operations. A sequential approach was taken for these surgical fixes.

After a tough recovery, Braelyn stands ready to face the world and meet her new forever family.

Murphy needed to undergo major dental surgery. With your help, Murphy can chomp down on all his favorite toys and treats again.

Murphy the 8 year old Pitbull was rescued from being abandoned on the street where he was found being abused by callous homeless people.

He had already survived cancer under the care of Samson’s Sanctuary. He truly is a gentle giant and there is nothing they wouldn’t do for this guy.

Stuck at a shelter, Gracie had been waiting for help. Helping Gracie was the right thing to do.

When Compton Animal Rescue was raided, Paws in Skid Row was told half of the animals were being sent to Downey Shelter. With such a quick influx of animals, they knew that several animals that had been waiting for a home, would be euthanized.

Gracie the 3 years old Frenchie, was abandoned and had been waiting for help with a severely broken leg. Despite the excruciating pain that she was in, Gracie was a happy dog who greeted the team with sloppy kisses and a desire to be loved. She was taken in for repair surgery where she received a rod and several screws to heal the damage. She wore a cast for 6 weeks, and never complained once. Paws in Skid Row was able to give Gracie another chance.

Kayce is a young and healthy Malinois, but had no chance for adoption at the shelter due to his torn tendon which rendered him disabled. Due to the extra costs, he was scheduled for euthanasia. Blue Man Dog rescued him, provided for his surgery and long recovery period.

His surgeon commented that tendons are complicated and often tricky to repair, as they can tear again. Following the surgery, Kayce had a 10 week recovery period, during which time he remained immobilized in a cast. It’s extremely challenging to rest a young Malinois, and he constantly chewed at the cast and bandages. This required weekly visits to the vet clinic to check and rebandage the surgical site. His total recovery took 7 months due to a reaction from the sutures and his relentless curiosity of his bandages.

Due to his sweet nature and goofiness, Kayce spent a lot of time with people during his recovery. He turned out to be excellent with dogs, so in between surgeries, Kayce assisted in socializing new rescue dogs.

Kayce was adopted into a family in Big Bear, California with acres of fenced in property, horses, and a Great Dane.

Thanks to your donations we were able to help Blue Man Dog rehabilitate Kayce and find him a perfectly sized canine sibling with the chance to live his best life.
